  • ye ol roachclip trick~~>

    here's a nifty lil trick for the bored guitarist.

    go find that old roachclip . you know the one w/ feathers that used to hang from the mirror of your old camero. and clean it off w/ rubbing alcohol ...

    actually .. you'll need one w/o feathers .. clip the very end of it to the G string .. inbetween the p'ups ... now if you give it a downward flick and it will bounce on the B string .. giving off a hammer'd dulcimer / sitar type effect ..

    it limits you to the one string .. but add a lil delay .. maybe a wah .. and "trip out" til the cows come home ..

    have fun!

      lemme know what ya think ... and try dif strings ... that lil "red door" lick sounds really cool played this way ..

      the biggest varible I've delt w/ .. is the actual attachment of the clip .. but you'll know when you get it in a good spot cuz it'll bounce like crazy.
