    Electric guitars work by converting the vibrations of the strings into an electricity. The pickups (which are located below the strings) detect any vibrations because the it creates a magnetic field that is disturbed when the strings vibrate. This disturbance is converted into electricity and sent to an amplifier, where it is made louder. An amp is needed for an electric guitar because is doesn't have a hollow body to amplify the sound (like an acoustic).

    That's a summary of how they work. As for how they're made, that's a completely different story. Seeing the production of one has really made me respect the instrument more.

    But acoustic guitars are still cool.

    The only instruments I want to learn for no reason whatsoever are the guitar and drums.

    The ukelele looks fun. I might try it sometime. You know, that's if I can be bothered to get one.

    Well, time to go to work. Hope everypony has a good day - better than me at work, any ways.

    And remember - about 14 weeks until Season 3!*






    * Wild guess.

    . . . 14 weeks x 7 days = 98 days from now.

    98 + June 16 = June 114

    June 114 - (30 days for June) - (31 days for July) - (31 Days for August) = 22 September.

    Again, my wild guess.

    Heh, that wouldn't have anything to do with Yui and Ritsu now, would it? :derpe:


    Gah, did I miss Dwynter? We haven't spoken in ages, we'll have to catch up at some point :)


    Anywho, just got back from a two-day tour of Bournemouth and Wiltshire universities. Both look great, but the entry requirements are pretty high... Looks like I'll have to crack on with the filmmaking, start putting a proper portfolio together. Maybe start some animation, or even machinima... We'll see.

    In other news, Endless 8 isn't nearly as painful as I was expecting. Not too sure about Koizumi's speedos, but seeing Nagato in a new yukata every episode is great :D

    Sure, if I can get something up and running I'll more than willing to accept help pretty much everything, from coming up with a script and recording action to editing and voice acting.

    Eeyup. I couldn't think of anything useful to say. So I got bored and went to 4chan. Then I got bored over there and I came back here. Now I actually have something to talk about.

    Come to think of it, this post is pretty useless.
