The electric guitar’s body helps create the tone of what is played. Rather than a sound hole (in acoustics), sound is conveyed by what are called ‘pickups’. The electric guitar would also have strap holders. These strap holders are little metal stubs situated around the edge of the guitar body. The electric guitar, if you really think about it, is less a reaction against the acoustic guitar and more an extension of it. Where the acoustic relies on the interaction between itself and its player’s hands, the electric puts itself at the mercy of its player’s ears.
The electric guitar took shape over the course of decades. Beginning as just an acoustic guitar with pickups, the changes made over the course of time created the familiar sound that resonates in modern blues, jazz, and rock and roll. The electric guitar, like most electric instruments, must be used in conjunction with an amplifier that will transmit the signal through a speaker, thus creating the louder sound. Though not exclusively, electric guitars almost always employ the use of an external amplifier and speaker system. The electric guitar is a prime example of the law of unintended consequences. At first it just wanted to be heard, but it ended up taking over popular music and revolutionizing society along the way.
The electric guitar is by nature obviously more powerful than the acoustic, and is extremely versatile. Its beauty is found in its almost infinite sonic possibilities, with intricate shades of tone, and an almost inexhaustible palette of technical and stylistic possibilities. The electric guitar has been developed to withstand electric amplification and utilize (mostly analog) signal processing in order to create a multitude of timbres and sound types. Sometimes it would be desirable to play the same electric guitar, yet with a sound that resembles a good acoustic guitar or some other member of the plucked string instrument family. The electric guitar is considerable easier to play for a few reasons. First, the action (general setup of the guitar) is much easier.
The electric guitar takes on the same function as a paintbrush. Large flowing washes and razor sharp precision are both produced with the same tool. The electric guitar was a key instrument in the development of many musical styles that emerged since the late 1940s, such as Chicago blues, early rock and roll and rockabilly, and 1960s blues rock. It is also used in a range of other genres, including country music, Ambient (or New Age), and in some contemporary classical music. The electric guitar contains almost the same parts as an acoustic guitar, and is also played by plucking and strumming. In fact, they are easier to play than the acoustic guitar.
