I was at a local concert and the electric guitar player had this little black thing a little bigger than a slide and rectangular and he would hold it up to the stings and they would rattle. I think it was emiting some sort of pulse or something to make the strings shake. What was that thing? Where can i get one? I thought it was cool, never seen anything like it before.

im not sure how exactly it works, maybe someone here has more information, you can also check it out. (google e-bow for the site.) I think it has a magnet in it where if you place it correctly over the strings, it will vibrate that string

"The principal is simple: a focused feedback loop directed at a single string. This produces a powerful, infinite sustain, rich in harmonics for incredible guitar sounds. It's like amplifier feedback with greater control and predictability, at any volume, even through headphones. This hand-held synthesizer provides an amazing variety of textures and tonal slurs — virtually an instrument in itself!"
Ah google, how I love thee:
