Pick your MIDI editor .. FWIW, RB has a nice one, with the data filters and all.

Since you used D5-C5-D5 you could safely CUT any Eb, E, F or F# notes pretty easily using the Note Range feature of the Data Filter ..
That's just one way

Some pretty famous guitar players have used these implied/induced harmonics that Music Student cited very effectively. David Gilmore comes to mind
