Play the electric guitar

The electric guitar is an amplified version of the acoustic guitar. The sound is created by plucking the strings, which creates electrical impulses which are carried to an amplifier. The instrument is a 20th century invention, born out of a desire to boost the volume of guitars. This is a staple instrument in rock and pop bands.
