I agree with EZ, above ^^; it sounds like a guitar being played rapidly with a pick. Just about the opposite of how I play (badly, slowly, with fingers...), so the sound I get, myself, is very different. I don't think I can help much, if at all, but I don't think you really have a problem, either. Play with whatever sounds you're getting, rather than analysing what's going on. In other words, if you have lemons, make lemonade.1 point

I’m only hearing what I would consider normal pick response (there’s always some extra harmonic content). Try not playing so quickly and see if you can still hear what you’re hearing with space between the notes. Something else to consider is pick-up height, if the pickups are too high, you might be hearing what are referred to as ‘wolf tones’.1 point

Yep, sounds like a partially pinched harmonic to me. You may find that part of the thumb or finger, holding the pick, are choking off the note and creating a false/pinched harmonic. This can be used to good effect, if you want it and that’s your thing, Billy Gibbons and Zakk Wylde are noted exponents of the technique.1 point

What you're hearing there is a harmonic, which is pretty much inevitable when playing at high gain, and is often even desirable in many styles. Try playing at different spots with the pick; that will probably change the note (the 'squeaking'...); choose the position that sounds best to you. It can be eliminated by playing without such high gain, but then you'd have no need of a pointy guitar..! Hope this helps.1 point
