Save a tree. Make an electric Guitar.



Life without electric guitar is a planet without the piece of madness that it needs. It is noisy and soft, at the same time. It is a great tool for creating music and expressing opinions and emotion. It’s a symbol of ‘rebel sensitivity’, hated by the neighbors, maybe by your parents, but admired if you turn to a master of it. 



Electric guitar is a music instrument based in classic -’Spanish’- guitar but using capsules –little microphones- instead of echo chamber. So, capsules receive strings vibration and transduct –‘transform’- it into an electric current. Signal arrives to ‘processing’ device –amplifier or effects pedal-, and it sends processed signal to a speaker, transducting again from electricity to sound. So, we have a hard-distorted riff, or a beauty and vibrating clean arpeggio. Or a helicopter or the sound of war!


So, we have many options for creating and playing sounds! People like Jimi Hendrix left his mark in music and culture by surprising and delighting us playing electric guitar in their particular way.

I have my electric guitar since when I was 15 years old. I was very happy! It is not a ‘qualified’ guitar but, for me, it is the best guitar in world. Immediately, I started to seek people for playing rock with. I formed a band and, little by little, we are progressing. And, every day, I learn something new about guitar. ‘It`s a long way to the top if you want to rock n’ roll”.
