Electric Guitar 🎸
An Introduction
An electric guitar is a guitar that requires external
amplification in order to be heard at typical performance volumes,
unlike a standard acoustic guitar. It uses one or more pickups to
convert the vibration of its strings into electrical signals, which
ultimately are reproduced as sound by loudspeakers. The sound is
sometimes shaped or electronically altered to achieve different
timbres
or tonal qualities from that of an acoustic guitar. Often, this is done
through the use of effects such as reverb, distortion and "overdrive";
the latter is considered to be a key element of electric blues guitar
music and rock guitar playing.
