Pick Drag Trick

This technique is used quite often in heavy metal and high energy rock. To accomplish this trick you simply take the side of your pick (angled towards the head of the guitar) and scrape it along the fifth and/or sixth strings.

You need a fair bit of distortion for the best effect and you must have Round-Wound strings for it to work at all. This trick sounds great between chord changes and lead breaks or just before the last chord that ends a song.
