Ha that's funny, I did the same kind of thing once. I had the bottom

of my distortion pedal open and by carefully pressing two fingers
on various circuit board places, I was able to make freaky
feedback and oscillation noises as I played the guitar with the other hand.
(Note to self: Remove socks and use toes next time, freeing up both hands!)

If you play a Gibson you can set the neck pickup
volume to zero and
the bridge pickup volume to full and then toggle the pickup switch,
rapidly if desired, like Eddie van Halen on You Really Got Me.

Tom Morello gets real creative with his guirar, and uses this technique
alot. He also unplugs his guitar to make the pedals and amps make noise
(oscillate), and controls the noise with his wah pedal and by touching
the tip of the plug to the guitar bridge (which is grounded). Good
demonstration of how just cutting the signal lead can cause lots of
noise, while a short will be more or less silent :)
