The: Parts of an Electric Guitar
Hi! My name is Mike Larney from the band Naked Underneath, and on behalf of Expert Village we will be discussing electric guitar techniques and general reviews. In this first clip we are going to discuss parts of a guitar. This is the body of the guitar, this is the neck of the guitar, this is the headstock of the guitar, these are the tuning machines, or knobs, or machine heads, the strings, which are essential, the toggle, which will control which pickup or combination of pickups you will be using, the volume knobs, which will decide the volume of the pickup, the tonal knobs, again relevant to the pickup, pick guard and the cutaway, which is essentially for being a rock god, the strap, the jack cord and most importantly here is frets, which we will be discussed during following clip, chords and also there is these little white dots typically on the neck of the guitar, that will let you know about what fret you are at, which will be important in the future.
