does anyone have any interesting information on the electric guitar?

Question

it is for my solo talk on the electric guitar. please hurry with answers coz i need them for tuesday ;)

Answer 1

yep!! they are electric and they are called guitars and you get music from um!

Answer 2

Want to know how it works?

The pickups are a set of magnetic coils that sense the movement of the strings. As the strings vibrate, it creates a disturbance in the magnetic field, which in turn sends a frequenscy of electrical pulses through a transistor in the amplifier. The transistor converts the signal into a high powered responce into a larger coil, which sends an even larger signal to the speakers. The frequency of the of the electricity flowing through the wires is exactly the same as the frequency of the vibration of the strings.

The tone controls limit the amount of amperage on certain frequencies, reducing the volume of certain higher or lower pithed ambient sounds involved in the overall sound of the string vibration.

The volume control limits the amount of voltage going through the coils, thereby weakening the electrical signal overall.

The body of the guitar is made of a wood that resonates with the strings, improving the warmth of the sound and addind sustain to the vibration.

Each "fret" on a guitar is used in reducing the length of the string, which makes it vibrate at a higher pitch, due to reducing the mass the actually vibrates. An octave above a certain note is exactly double the frequency, so if you cut the length of the string in half, you make it vibrate twice as fast, producing this octave. Each intermittent note is produced by cutting those lengths with a series of mathematical equations.

The tuning machines(or keys) add or reduce tension to the string to make it more resistant, thereby causing it to vibrate at higher or lower, respectively, pitches as well.

The bridge, whwere the strings meet the body, puts the strings at just the right height so that you can push down at one fret and the string stays lifted above the rest of the frets closer to the bridge.

"Feedback" occurs, because the gain is turned up so high the the pickups sense the slightest movement of the strings, which in turn cause them to resonate from the loud sounds coming out of the speakers, which is a never-ending process, causing the sound to get louder and louder until it reaches it's peak volume.

Answer 3

I have to say, Mr Know it all pretty much has it down. For something interesting to put into your talk, Les Paul had some physical difficulties and invented the electric guitar (especially the reverb and echo, and maybe the wa-wa lever/pedal); Django Reinhardt had some physical difficulties and developed other ways to play the acoustic guitar. Both were heroes, stars of the early years.

Answer 4

wow what an answer, where were you Mr.stupid when i was at school!
who needs google.
i have no Superior knowledge about guitars, just that most teenage rock fans want to play one and girls love a guy who can play a good rift!! maybe you could add something like that into your report just for a bit of humour.

Answer 5

same as mr know it all above. the amp can make a difference too.
