How amazing! This morning I woke up and accidentally kicked my brothers guitar. He is gonna be mad, but I will use this as a learning experience. I've never felt so close to an insrtument before, not including the drums. So here was my chance! I gained consience and looked at the string I broke. But then I remembered in physics how we spoke about the sound of an electric guitar. It looks simple, but I remember that the sound doesn't just filter into a chord which goes to the amplifier, the sound is actually from magnets. I looked at the guitar up close and was amazed to see the small round magnets under the bottom of the strings. When a string is plucked, the string vibrates making a sound and, because they are metal, moves the magnet. This results in a sound which people can hear when the guitar is properly plugged into an amplifier. I want to say sorry to my brother, but at the same time, I want to thank him for increasing my knowledge of physics in the world!
