     SOLOS: (These are the actual methods used by Tom Morello)

     1. To create the "laughing guitar" sound, start with the bridge pickup on. 
        Hit a metal slide across the strings and use toggle switching.  

     2. To create the "insane guitar" sound, the slide is thrown away.  Wah is
        turned on.  Scrape your hand across the stings while toggling away with 
        the other.  Occasionally, some low E dive bombs are thrown in to make a
        "moo" sound.
