28 TEXT 3 How does an electric guitar work? Have you ever wondered how you can hear the sound of an electric guitar? Unlike classical or acoustic guitars, which have a wooden box that amplifies the sound, an electric guitar has a solid body. So, when you hit the metal strings on an electric guitar, their vibrations are picked by small electrical devices called 'pickups'. These are made of one or more magnets. When the strings vibrate, electricity is created and sent to an amplifier, a device that turns the electrical signal into sound. Text 3 does not (1 punkt) o tell us why an amplifier is needed in an electric guitar, tell us how electric guitars should be played in order to get a clear sound. comment on any differences between classical and electric guitars.
