right, i have this shitty strat copy, and i pretty much only use it for making noise and bashing about... are there any relatively cheap things you can do to a guitar to make it better for noising/making wierd sounds etc etc etc

stick a pen under the strings right where the um... "nut" is.. is that right? Right next to the pickups. Those things that bolt together, where the strings come through. I forget what it's called.

Stick a crumpled piece of paper under the strings. Can make it sound like a fucked up banjo.

Tie a shoelace together around the strings to make a fucked up cappo...

Detune your strings a lot and "tie" them together.. for example, put the bottom string in the 5th or 4th.. uh... string hole. I really neeed to learn what the parts of a guitar are called.

Alligator clips.

Forks.

Paper clips.

Obviously, using a slide when playing or a whammy bar is usually good for fucked up sounds.

Leave your guitar in the rain.

i like taking a guitar chord that im not using to plug in, and using the plug end of it as a pick. careful though, ull break your strings sure as shit.

you can use one that's plugged into your amp to make crazy sounds, actually (dunno if you can do this on all guitars, I think you need really good pickups; maybe a jackson guita r would do this); supposedly it can eletrocute you.
