Guitarists' Secret Weapons for Textural Effects

Check out this discussion thread on the Gear Page Effects forum for ideas on achieving textural effects.

Some of these ideas will work with just your guitar and bare hands! My favorite, courtesy of the great David Torn:

light taps on the back of the neck (or, the body) whilst the lefy hand holds chords.
alternatively, tapping on the bridge itself (or at the base of the bar, if the guitar is whammified) with the thumb, a sharpie, etc.
