MOTM

That's correct. In using a guitar instead of a violin, perhaps you want to use 
a synthesized percussive sound immitating a string pluck.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like he is mechanically doing the same thing I 
want to. I think the device Larry Hendry pointed out is what's needed for this 
type of stuff.
