6. Electric Guitar

 Electric Guitar



The electric guitar is a string instrument. Invented in 1931 the electric guitar is basically a guitar that uses a pick-up to convert the vibration of its strings — which are typically made of metal, and which occurs when a guitarist strums, plucks or finger-picks the strings — into electrical impulses. The electric guitar usually has 6 strings but can sometimes have up to 12 strings.electric guitars are a little easier to play than acoustic guitars. The strings are a bit lighter, the neck is a bit thinner, and for hands that aren’t used to fretting chords that makes things more comfortable. That’s good, because when new players struggle with the mechanics of playing they are more likely to quit. Going with a guitar that’s easier on the hands removes one of the barriers that prevent newbies from advancing on the instrument.
Most new guitar players haven’t chosen their musical direct yet. It takes some time to figure out what you really love, and what you’re really good at. An electric instrument gives you the freedom to explore those choices. You may find you love strumming chords or playing classical music finger-style and you’ll eventually switch to acoustic guitar. You may decide you love jazz, or metal or country music. You can play all of that on an electric guitar while you sort everything out. Even if you think you know what you want when you are first starting out, you may be surprised by the doors that open up to you as you learn the instrument. An electric guitar gives you a greater amount of freedom to explore it all.
