The Basics of the Electric Guitar











   An electric guitar is a rather simple thing to use.  It is designed for the sole purpose of blowing minds with amazing rock and blues.
    It is cool to learn how an electric guitar works. Each metal string is attached to a pickup, which is a small coil of wire with magnets set  in it. When the strings are strummed, the pickup sends an electrical current to the amplifier, then to the loudspeaker. The speaker transfers the electrical current to sound through a series of restrictors in the speaker. Through this proccess the amazing sound is created.
