  The 3rd nodes are found by dividing your string length on any guitar into three equal parts, when you play harmonics - you can strum it on Either side of your finger and sound the harmonic. The harmonics on the third nodes are the exact same pitch.

The  2nd and 3rd nodes are slightly harder to sound than the Main Node

 
     The third node sounds the notes' Octave that is lies on - If you play the 3rd node - you are playing the actual tone that is at the 7th fret of whatever string you are on. If you play this node on the E string, that would be the B tone - the 3rd Nodes are on the 7th and 19th fret and sound out the exact same pitch. You would be playing the Octave tone of the 7th fret. 

     What we call the fourth Node is the hardest to sound and it can be found by dividing the string into five distances, That is how they determine to place the next two frets. These nodes are hardly used because they are hard to sound. They are on the 4th, 9th, 16th and 29th frets. All four of these positions sound exactly the same in pitch. 

     To get the fattest sounds out of your Guitar, You can pick on the Nodes. The sweet spots to pick on are mathematically layed out. The best way do determine the sweet spot is by the Key that you are playing in. Between the 24th - and where the 30th fret would be is where the best sounds are attained - Go through the Major scales and observe where ALL 6 strings are played together on one fret - Those are the sweet spots.

    Positions for that Key  (there are 3 sweet spots for each Key)  If you are playing in the Key of C, then the Sweet spots for picking are at the 22nd, 24th,  and 29th frets would be, Fish for them by using a Capo in different positions
