Doing a forum search for "pinch" turned up this thread, along with a few others.

This is a good explanation of pinch harmonics by Justin Sandercoe, Katie Melua's guitarist.

The king of pinch harmonics is Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top!!!
What you have to do is pinch the string with your pick and press your thumb into the string at the same time to give a harmonic ring simultaniously. Easier said than done! keep trying and you'll get that cool sound you're looking for!

always seems to help if your bending the note you want to "squeal".
And +1 to Reverend Billy G. as the King of Squeal. Long live the king!!
