Computer Sound

from Mike Konshak - (?)
I have a Noise for you that I remember sounding like a cheap computer sound like on an old cartoon - basically a series of beeps. Basically, get a bunch of distortion, mute the strings with your left hand on the neck (about 5th fret, not important) and use a golf ball or some other ball about that size and hardness in your right hand- golf ball works fine. The idea is to use the ball as a slide, but it only touches one string at a time. Therefore, abrupt changes in pitch occur when moving from string to string (sounds good only on unwound strings) producing "beeping" noises. cool effects are also made by sliding up and down a string. A cool advantage to this technique is the super high notes available near the bridge. Thanks for reading all of this.
