how do guitar tunors work?

They measure the frequency of vibrations, which are in direct correspondence to the pitch.  If the number of vibrations are off, so is the pitch.

He didn't. The settings he used on his strat were to turn the amp up full and then use the volume control on the guitar to provide distortion. He also used a Marshall Superfuzz and a wah-wah pedal. Fenders only tend to feed back if you get too close to the amp.

1. The Cry Baby was responsible for the wah sound in Hendrix and Cream records.  They come in various versions and various prices. Other companies also make wah-wah pedals that are perfectly acceptable, because most listeners, even most guitarists, don't have good enough "ears" to discern wahs made by different manufacturers by sound alone.\n\n2.  Pedals tend to be more versatile than effects boards/amps. You obviously can't get the sounds of a wah or volume pedal, which require rocking with the foot, with an effects rack.\n\n3.  A B-Bender is an alteration to an electric guitar (routing of the body is required) that permits the B string to be bent when pressure is applied, usually via a lever that replaces the guitar's strap buttons.  It gives a pedal-steel guitar effect.  Guitars can be configured so that more than one string is bent.  Jimmy Page and Albert Lee have used B-Benders.

For any string instrument, like a guitar or piano, the sound comes from each string when is hit  causing the string to oscillate, this oscillation depends on how tense and how long is the string, more tension will cause a higher pith sound, less tension a lower pitch sound.\n\nwhen the string oscillates it transfers the oscillation to air particles that vibrate and create a sound.\n\nThen the resonance box of the guitar, or the piano, gives the vibration a particular effect, by making those vibrations reflect at some distances inside the box.

I myself am not a guitar enthusiast however you might want to look into this JP Guitar Forum for information. Posting or searching for the answer to your question there will help.  \n\nHere is a link.\nhttp://guitar.jp/cgi/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Builders;action=display;num=1037217785

I know this has nothing to do ith your question, but your email address isn't verified, and I really want/need you help with my guitar. \nI was thinking about your other reply and  the string only buzzes when it's open. Does that mean it is a burr in the nut? \nAlso could you tell me what the safest way to change the string is? (I'm such a tele virgin!) \nThing is, it got brought two weeks ago, so I wasn't expecting anything to go wrong this quickly! Plus its Easter weekend, so everywhere is closed or I'm at work so I can't take it back to the shop and get them to sort it. \nThank you, its great to be able to ask someone who actually has the guitar to tell me what to do. \nOf course I like calexico. Again it's nice to find someone who knows who they are!

The classic publicity photos of Peter and Gordon do show them playing a Gibson J-160E guitar and a Gibson B-45-12.\n\nThere are also photos of them both playing Gibson J-160E's...

O.K. You have to have an adapter that will allow you to plug the guitar into the microphone jack in the tower, then run a similar line with adapter from the headphones jack in either the tower or the speakers back to your amp. Viola! I don't know how good it will sound though. It would work better with a keyboard or synthesizer probably.

I would try shielding the pickups and controls with foil tape.  Carvin guitars have it and alot of the feedback is cut down or eliminated all together.

You might want to ask this question in Music, instead of Physics.\n\nBut here are some links to start with:\nhttp://www.history-of-rock.com/guitarstwo.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_guitar\nhttp://www.guitarsite.com/history.htm\nGibson: http://www.riffinteractive.com/expguitar/ElectricGuitarRoots1.htm

It depends on what kind of guitar it is. I suggest you take it to a music shop and have them do it for you. You don't want to screw up your guitar!

Make sure you're fretting in the middle.  Also, there could be a small burr in the neck of your guitar, or even a problem with the string.

Firstly, you need to be able to play your instruments well.\nSecondly, to get that sound, one need only apply some\ntype of sound changing device. A common way to change a \nguitar sound is using a stomp box. There are different kinds.\nDistortion pedal is used to dirty up the sound. Compression\nis used to add "punch" to your guitar so it can be heard \nthrough the mix of other instruments. Delay devices can \nadd "shimmer" or "echo" type effects. These can also be\ndone by computer programs. And who can resist the "wah"\nsound of a pedal? I don't know exactly what they use, but\nthis is a good guess perhaps.

1.) to level how high/low the "action" you want for the strings\n\n2.) it helps fix with the "fine tunning" of your guitar (the "nut" up to the 12 fret is equals to 12 fret equals to the bridge)\n\nget it?

By pushing in the cord into the the bass, you are probably activating a switch to turn the pre-amp on.  Unplug the bass when not in use.  The part about plugging into the external amp has nothing to do with it.  Either way, by plugging the cord into the guitar, you are leaving an open circuit.  Down goes the battery.  Good luck.
