It is likely NOT the following, but I offer it as a
possibility. You can get a kind of sharp piercing
sound, or sizzle, with strings that are too light
(e.g. a .012 first and a.014 2nd). You can get it
with light bar pressure, so the strings slide back &
forth under the bar. And you can get it by
excessively slanting the bar in slant chords. In fact
I occasionally like to play a slant C or D chord on
the first 3 strings down near the nut, just to get
that whiney sound.
