Many people want to learn how to play the electric guitar because they just really like the sounds that it makes. There is certainly no other musical instrument like it. The way that it makes such aggressive and often unpredictable sounds to the way it makes some of the sweetest music ever heard, the electric guitar is definitely a one of a kind instrument.
The amplifier plays a very important role in how it sounds and will allow you to dial in anywhere from a clean tone to a heavily overdriven or distorted tone. This is accomplished by the electric signals, actually the strings vibrating over the pickups, which is picked up and passed through a series of wires. These are made up of a series of magnets which have been tightly wound with bare wire. Along this path there are potentiometers and capacitors. The potentiometer, or volume pot, allows the musician to control the amount of volume which will be passed on to the amplifier. Usually the guitar will have only one volume pot. There are also tone pots which are used to control the levels of low frequency and high frequency. These controls work similar to an equalizer only they are a bit more limited in overall sound variations do to the fact that most guitars will only have one to three tone pots.
Generally when people start to learn electric guitar they take some lessons from local teachers. This can be a great way to begin learning how things are actually done on the guitar to make music with it. There is any number of different approaches to how you can go about playing the guitar, and every teacher will have a slightly different way of doing things. This can be good in the beginning because you will see how the basics work. Then depending on what style you are interested in, you may need to find another teacher who is more of a specialist in the particular style you are after.
When you hook up an electric guitar into an amplifier and turn up the distortion, you can have a lot of fun with it even if you do not know a thing about what you are doing. The fun part about guitar distortion is that it somewhat covers up your mistakes, and the tone is so thick that it can even sound like you do know what you are doing!
If you decide to learn electric guitar, lessons will definitely help you increase your playing skills, and they will always be a source of learning something new. All guitarists should strive to learn something new from time to time. The more advanced you become you may start to learn about music theory and how it applies to the guitar. This will allow you to learn electric guitar in many different styles with just a little effort.
Many people find that playing the guitar is simply a great stress reliever as they can make relaxing music through a somewhat physical activity.

String Potentiometer $70.1 A string potentiometer is a transducer used to detect and measure linear position and velocity using a flexible cable and springloaded spool. Other common names include string pot, cableextension transducer, draw wire sensor, and yoyo sensor. String potentiometers are composed of four main parts: a measuring cable, spool, string, sewing machine, and rotational sensor. Inside the transducers housing, a stainless steel cable is wound on a precisely machined constant diameter cylindrical spool that turns as the measuring cable reels and unreels.To maintain cable tension, a torsion spring is coupled to the spool. The spool is coupled to the shaft of a rotational sensor (a potentiometer or encoder). As the transducers cable extends along with the movable object, it causes the spool and sensor shafts to rotate. The rotating shaft creates an electrical signal proportional to the cables linear extension or velocity. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Seymour Duncan Liberator Solderless Potentiometer 250k $24.95 The Seymour Duncan Liberator Solderless Potentiometer 250k is a solderless pickup change system.The volume potentiometer is the tone junction for your guitar's wiring. Swap it out for Liberator and you'll be able to quickly and easily change pickups for new tone, feel, responsiveness, and output.Liberator is an integrated quality volume pot and screw-clamp connector that accepts bare or tinned pickup leads for torqued-tight tone better than flimsy spring terminals or less-than-perfect solder connections.Technical DetailsWith a Liberator installed in place of a volume pot, changing pickups becomes fast, easy, and solder-free, but just as reliable. In fact, it's more reliable than a less-than-perfect solder joint. You simply insert the bare end of each pickup lead into one of Liberator's pickup connector stations and tighten the screw-clamp to lock it down. Turning the screw lifts up a carriage that locks the wire against a fixed pad, securing the connection in place. It's completely simple, and completely solid.For experienced guitar techs, Liberator makes pickup changes much faster and simpler, but with the solid, reliable connections of the Lockdown system.For those who have never soldered before, Liberator opens up a world of tone exploration. You'll be able to easily explore how different pickups change how your instrument sounds and responds in ways that will inspire your playing and enhance your personal voice.Parts of the LiberatorLiberator is like a studio patch bay, where connections that can be easily but securely exchanged up front correspond to hard-wired connections behind the scenes.There are two main parts to the Liberator System: the ten-station pickup connector, and four-station potentiometer connector. The wire colors adjacent to the pickup connector indicate which color wires you should install in each connector station. This is according to Seymour Duncan's wiring scheme for four-conductor humbuckers, but Liberator comes with a color-code guide for easily connecting other manufacturer's pickups.The potentiometer connector stations correspond to the three terminals on a potentiometer-in, out, and ground-plus an additional ground for bridges or tremolo systems. For those who prefer to solder, there are optional gold-plated solder pads adjacent to the potentiometer connector, plus seven gold-plated oval solder pads that go to ground. These pads are much easier to solder than the back of a potentiometer.Liberator VersionsLiberator with Volume Pot comes in 250k and 500k versions. (Warmer 250k pots are typically used to tame the brightness of single-coil pickups, while brighter 500k pots are typically used with humbuckers.) |
