Sorry, don't know anything about dancing. 8) 8) 8)
If you want to know to play octaves, you can do it any of three ways. Fingerpick the two notes, hybrid pick (low note woth pick, upper note with finger) or you can mute the string, between the two notes and strum a 3-string chord, although there is a definite clunk, when you hit the muted note, which goes unnoticed with distortion, but becomes unwanted noise on a solo acoustic piece.
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

haha :D I'm looking for the type of octave splits bands like Slipknot use, the certain squeal. Is this the same you're referring to?

Maybe artificial harmonics? Sorry but my entire Slipknot library was involved in a tragic Microwave accident so I can 't just go have a listen.
Sounds like a good story! lol thanks anyway. It's like making a normal note a harmonic... i just figured it out myself... What you do is you simply hit the string with the pick and then IMMEDIATLY following the pick, make sure your thumb just brushes against the string enough to make it a harmonic.
"Rawk!"
that is called a pinched harmonic, a technique used a lot by ZZ Top too.
I know it only as being used by Slipknot and stone sour...

Where did you get the phrase Octave Split from?
If I tried to do a split, you'd hear a squeal. In a high octave.
"A cheerful heart is good medicine."
Zakk Wylde uses them alot too, as do the Cancer Bats, and Coheed & Cambria. A good example from SlipKnot, is in the song, Before I Forget.
I also would have thought of an octave spilt as the top and bottom notes in a power chord.
Vacate is the word...Vengance has no place on me or her...Cannot find a comfort in this world.

Touche.
Yeah, most people call them pinched harmonics, also aritificial harmonics if I'm not mistaken.
I remember an old article by Zakk Wylde in Guitar Player or Guitar World (I think) and he called artificial harmonics "pings." Still might call them that...
Peace
zakk wylde uses them, listen to no more tears, a good one from slipknot is duality in the intro, also a very good one is whitesnakes still of the night, and in bark at the moon jake e. lee uses them

We report sadly that Slipknot has recieved 99 perfect artificial burns.
