Instructions
Step 1
Find the nut on your guitar. It is located at the base of the headstock and is usually made of white plastic. Take a ruler, turn the guitar sideways. Look at the gap between the strings and the first fret metal baffle on the guitar neck. Measure the clearance with a ruler. The distance should be no more than one millimeter. If it is larger, loosen the strings of the guitar so that the string can be pulled out of the nut groove. Then take a sharp knife and start gradually deepening the grooves. Periodically lower strings into the grooves, tighten them and measure the distance. Complete the task, then tune the guitar. You will notice that the guitar starts to tune more accurately. The quality of the game has improved. I stopped cutting fingers with strings and it became easier to play.
Step 2
If your guitar has nylon strings, replace them with metal ones. The sound of metal strings is an order of magnitude louder than nylon. The vibrations of metal strings can be transformed by an electromagnetic pickup in conjunction with a guitar processor. In this case, you can implement many interesting effects.
Step 3
Purchase an electromagnetic pickup from a music store. Clip it under the guitar strings on the top, closer to the saddle. Connect the output of the cartridge to the input of the low frequency power amplifier to which the speaker is connected. Plug in your amplifier and try playing your guitar. You will hear a loud, amplified guitar sound, just like in a concert hall.
Step 4
Buy a guitar processor from a music store. The range of these products is large. Choose a processor that can handle dozens of different musical effects. Connect the guitar pickup output to your processor. Connect the processor to a low frequency power amplifier with a connected speaker system. Power up all your electronics. Play your guitar by repeatedly pressing the buttons and pedal of the processor, thereby realizing various sound effects.
