Re: Ambient loops?

Sorry, What I spose I meant was,,,,,er.......ah.......plop.


Really, what I was after was not neccesarily guitar exclusive, but more
along the lines of the more ethereal sounds of ambient, as opposed to the
more well-defined and structured (at least to me)  types of sounds that a
guitar usually makes. I've played with both, but prefer the more abstract
uses of the guitar....I rarely actually "play" one.....I've used it as a
microphone, diddled with various nooks and crannies on it to get those
clicky-bendy noises that people HATE to hear out of an expensive guitar
(mine's shite) and such........placing a remote control against the pickups
and pressing buttons makes for some odd sounds as well.....
