Autofilter was not giving me great results. The chain I posted worked pretty well and I went on to jam with it all evening. Eventually going back and dropping a bassline and getting a kick out of it then playing with some guitar over the top with it pushing out a cymbal and snare sound. Fun stuff!
Ableton’s engineers are hard
at work developing code that will allow our software to predict the future, but we don’t
anticipate having this available until at least the next major release.

#1 - Review the use of Dummy clips to give any audio (guitar) you transform, a HH pattern

#2 - Here is my attempt at quickly transforming the audio clip you posted, into a HH pattern & Sound. Guitar clip (or live playing input) would be in 'Guitar playing', Live Efx to smear the guitar into noise a bit, which routes into 'HH transform', where a dummy clip with automation controls the volume of a utility plug. Adjust using the macro controls to taste. Copy and create your own dummy clip with a differnt HH pattern. Deconstruct & experiment.

Hm, I get a .sea file, which OSX can't open. Should I rename it or something?

That is amazing! Quite metallic, hi-hat-ish.

Grain delay should allow for realtime pitch-shifting to get the frequency up there, as another option.
