Guitar Terminology Question - for Anyone on My Flist Who Plays

(I'm sure I could Google this, but I can't think of the appropriate search terms and I don't care that much - just curious.)

Is there a term for the act of running one's pick along the length of the string in order to get that sound that Tom Sholz of Boston wore out all the way to the bank? In the short span of time in my early 20's when I was learning to play, I did it a few times but never really knew if there was a musical term for it.

Guitar Spotlights

Thinking about guitar playing earlier, I came up with this list, because, you know, I like making unordered lists of things. I can always come up with a few favorites of something, but can almost never rank the lists themselves. These are some of my favorite guitar parts from pop/rock music over the years (not in any particular order, and I think they may prove my comment in a post elsewhere that I must be a musical fogey):

• Mark Knopfler's coda to Dire Straits' Sultans of Swing
  
• Joe Walsh's & Don Felder's duet in the coda to the Eagle's Hotel California
  
• Lindsey Buckingham's coda to Fleetwood Mac's I'm So Afraid
  
• Buck Dharma's solo in Blue Öyster Cult's (Don't Fear) The Reaper
  
• Martin Barre's solo in Jethro Tull's Aqualung
  
• David Byrne's repetitive rhythm part and bizarre solo in Talking Heads' Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)
  
• Carlos Santana throughout Smooth
  
• Alex Lifeson's back-and-forth with Geddy Lee on bass in Rush's YYZ
  
• David Gilmour's solo in Pink Floyd's Money

So, what are some of yours?

Sirius Black

Sitting here with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on in the DVD player. Just got to the part where Sirius shows up, as a dog, and pulls Ron under the Whomping Willow.

I asked Toni, "So, would Sirius have had a better chance of catching Peter if he could turn into a rat terrier?"
