A basic knowledge of how harmonics work is preferable.
Hold your guitar pick so that there is a very small amount (1mm or so) protruding from your thumb.
Pick in a way that resembles digging the string, so that the flesh of your thumb lightly brushes the string immediately after. If you do this in the right place (directly in front of the middle pickup on most strat type Guitars is one possibility), you should hear a harmonic sound. It takes a lot of practice to be able to do them fluidly, like Zakk Wylde or Dimebag, but with time, you should get it.

What is the high pitched screech guitar players like Slipknot use called and how do you do it?
They're called pinch harmonics. You do a harmonic by holding down your note then picking, but as you pick follow through and just touch the string with your thumb, resulting in a harmonic. Then pitch bend it. By the way slipknot is bad.
What are pinch harmonics?
pinch harmonics are a guitar technique used to get really high pitched sounds by holding the pick with about 3mm of your thumb below it and strumming. If you do it right the string will bounce off you thumb after you strum and create a harmonic. This is incredibly hard to master and is affected by where you strum. This means that for every fret there are certain spots on the string you can use to create pinch harmonics that you can either find by trial and error or if you know how harmonics actually work you can find them fairly easily. There are a lot of youtube videos explaining this and how to find the harmonic locations but this is incredibly hard to learn and even harder to get them to work with any regularity.

What is it called when you hit one tuning fork and you hold the other tuning fork up close to it and the both of the tuning forks vibrate?
harmonic resonance
If a string vibrates at the fundamental frequency of 528Hz and also produces an overtone with a frequency of 1056Hz this overtone is the A 1st harmonic B 2nd harmonic C 3rd harmonic D 4th harmonic?
Fundamental frequency = 1st harmonic = 256 Hz 2nd harmonic = 1st overtone = 512 Hz 3rd harmonic = 2nd overtone = 768 Hz. Look at the link: "Calculations of Harmonics from Fundamental Frequency".

How do you hold a guitar pick?
A guitar pick is held between the thumb and index fingers of your strumming hand. Usually it's held closer to the tip for single notes, pinch harmonics and for a firmer grip. It would be held closer to the end if you are strumming chords and need to loosen up a bit.

How many pinch in 5ml?
A "pinch" is typically used for dry measurement, but it is obviously not a standard way of measuring. Even on wikianswers, people have said a "pinch" equals 1/16th of a teaspoon... up to 1/8th of a teaspoon. Therefore, there is no real consensus about what exactly is a "pinch". It is taught by moms by showing the amount of sugar or flour a person can hold between the thumb and index finger... therefore, everyone's amount of "just a pinch" can vary greatly. A man's fingers, being bigger, would hold more than a woman's fingers, and a teen's or child's fingers would hold less than the pinch an adult woman could hold between her thumb and index finger. Again, a pinch or a teaspoon is typically for DRY ingredients. DROPS or teaspoons would be for liquids. It would be impossible to measure a "pinch of any liquid".
How much is a pinch?

How does a teaspoon compare to a dash a smidgen and a pinch?

What is the etiquette for using a toothpick?
It is poor etiquette for a person to pick their teeth or hold a toothpick in their mouth. If they feel they have something stuck in their teeth they can excuse themselves and go to the washroom or in a pinch quietly chew gum t cleanse the teeth (there are special gums for this.)
