Electric Guitar
Setup

This is how an Electric Guitar can be set up. The electreic guitar needs an
amplifier to be heard. Pedals can also be used to make it sound even better.
Different pedals give different sounds. As you learn to play different styles of
music you will hear different sounds that you want from different pedals.
