I do this on Les Pauls with humbuckers. Whether or not it works with
other guitars will depend on the setup. Just press one of the unwound
strings down hard between the end of the fretboard and the neck
pickup. The string initially contacts the back edge of the pickup,
then tilts the pickup until the string hits the forward edge. Voila
-- you've got a seagull squawking. The E, B and G strings each do it
at a different pitch. With a delay/repeat it sounds like (sorry) a
flock of seagulls. Also, try with a wah for variation. Note: it will
scratch your pickup covers, so if you're a dead mint freak, don't
bother.
