just turn it up and let a chord ring. don't mute anything (except for strings not in the chord or course).
The chinaman is not the issue here dude.
Every guitar has certain frequencies it'll feedback at, too. Crank the amp up and face the amp and try different single notes,,, then when you find the "sweet spots" , the right notes that feed back, you can play with them at lower volumes. Midrange notes feed back the best, and you can play octaves to get more power. Then play around with different combinations of notes and overdrive and distortion.
If you have a wah wah, you can find play the tone on it until you find the right position that'll feed back, like Frank Zappa used a lot.
If you crank it loud enough and face the amp, you can make anything feed back, but all the dogs'll be howling in the neighborhood and the cops will eventually come! The art is to find what sounds good and how to control it musically.

What a cool way to involve feedback in a song

I assume you have gotten feedback, but it ends up being a high-pitched squeal rather than a cool low-growl sound. And if that's the case, you need to compress the signal somewhere. If you can't get feedback at all, you need more gain.
Doesn't facing the amp, or rather holding the guitar up against the amp only work with single-coils? Don't think you can do it with humbuckers.
Heheh, watching some of the live nirvana stuff is an interesting example. Tho i guess it's not worth actually destroying both guitar and amp just to get a cool sound.

OVER THE LINE!!!!!!!!!
it's actaully better with humbuckers because they're higher output without the annoying high frequencies.
uhh i can do it with my les paul man. its alot easier for me to control the feedback with that instead of a strat because its alot easier to control because the bodys so heavy.
