How do you make a percussive guitar sound?
The most versatile technique for getting a percussive sound from a guitar string is by picking it very aggressively, either with your finger or a pick. Pulling the string outward from the guitar's body a bit when picking it will cause it to slap back into place, lending a sharp, percussive sound to the note.
