Excellent stuff - I'm off to try this too.

Another fun 'preparation' of the guitar I've experimented with (outside
of the de riguer alligator clips, knives and forks) is taking one of those
large steel chinese therapeutic balls (you know, the ones in the import stores
that have beautiful random chimes in them.
and roll them down the strings
forwards or away from the pick ups. I found these great blue
plastic martini skewers with small round balls at the end which I use to play
the strings directly over the pickups while the ball rolls.........kind of a
slide, fretless gamelan kind of thing.........all of this loops wonderfully
(he says, bringing it all back to the topic ; - )
stay
