Chapter 2, GUITAR TECHNIQUE, Page 3, General IntroductionGeneral IntroductionAll electric guitars, whatever they may look like, have one thing in common – thepickup. This device is allowing us guitarists to get more volume out of ourinstrument by ”picking up” vibrations from the string, transform them to electriccurrent and send it to the amplifier. Besides the pickup, a typical electric guitar, inthis case a Fender Telecaster could have the following parts.ANATOMY OF THE GUITAR1 Head2 Tuning pegs3 Neck*)4 Frets*)5 Position marks6 Knob for strap (the other knob is placed atthe bottom of the guitar)7 Fingerplate8 Pickup9 Controls for volume etc.10 Chair with fastening clamps for strings andfine-tuning screws11 Vibrato arm12 Outlet for chord to amplifier*) When guitarists say that they go ”up the neck”, it means that the fretting hand moves towards the guitarbody, and the pitch goes up; ”down the neck” means going towards the head and that the pitch goes down.
