And lots of CSN and Neil Young, and I use prodigiously in The Who's "Blue Red and Gray."

Mute the A string with your ring finger and you have both index and middle to fiddle with. A common usage is to hammer on and pull off the C chord from the G with both fingers, a la "Helplessly Hoping" and "Tell Me Why."
