Ok,with your guitar unplugged simply tap and hold(kinda like hammer on to it) your high E string at the 9th fret...hear the octave?Now tap around other frets and you will hear dissonant notes.

Yea I noticed that years ago but never payed any mind to it.. I guess the amp dont pick it up cause its too weak to pick up as it wouldnt travel along the string like tapping a note.. as we know when u hit a note the string vibrates along its self, but this seems more like the string just hitting the fret very slightly not enough to register as sound for ur amp to pick up... its much more pronounced on an acoustic guitar.. but havent a clue what its called ..
Akira says; "i was expecting some 3476 string string skipping with some 23489172343 octave sweeps and some alt picking runs at 345734237623572bpm in 234872364781246164516th notes across your 2384723648724627348623478264 fret guitar"
[font=trebuchet ms]What you're hearing is the string vibrating between the nut and the fret above your finger. The amp won't 'hear' it up because it only gets it's signal from the pickup.[/font]
