Yeah, I can hear it! Composer/guitarist Doug Kolmar does a lot of nice
things in very small spaces... like carefully exploiting subtle beat
relationships that occur when harmonics of a same pitch collide when
playing the same note on different strings for instance. Anyone who
might be interested in this should definitely check out Doug's "Five
Movements for Electric Guitar":

The first and second movements have some very good examples of these
sorts of "nice things in small spaces" I think.
