- Ghost Note
- A note that is physically acted upon but is not heard. For example the starting note before a string bend is performed.
- A note that has been muted to the point it has no discernible pitch. In the context of guitar music this would be a mute performed with the fretting hand, as palm muted notes still have a distinctive pitch.
