When you get a new guitar, or if you’re a beginner guitar player, it’s very important to know about all the different electronics and parts of the instrument. In this video, we’ll talk about the electronics and the pickups.
Pickups are what pick up the sound on an electric guitar. There are a bunch of different types of pickups like single coil and humbucking pickups. Guitars also have pickup switches, that switch between the different pickups, as well as tone knobs, and volume knobs. Some guitars have switches that manipulate other parts of the tone as well.
Learn all about pickups, and more in this lesson.

Really helpful!
Really helpful. Thanks!
Just what I need right now after really beginning to play electric guitar.
INTERESTING????
at strats, in 2nd and 4th position, pickups are connected in oposition(not sure if i use correct word), so they can reduce noise. not sure if all strats, but all strats i hold had this configuration.
2 seconds in: "and get that wah effect"
….. thats not wah that is tremolo and they're veeeery different
Awesome bro!!!
I learned so much shit from this video alone lol
Seven years I’ve had my guitar. Thank you for helping me breathe new life into it
Just subbed and it’s been a looooong time since I’ve played. Just got the new Ibanez Gio series with the Peavey Vyper amp and I am soooo clueless now lol. I want that death metal ( think Ghost, Lordi, Black Sabbath on acid…lol). Plus my switch seems to have 5 settings(?). It’s not a knob but like a sliding…thing lololol…Jesus….. Oh the second guitar..the Strat. That is what I was talking about..the 5-way.
Also would like to know what you think about Edward brand guitars. I heard these and they blow our guitars out of the water. Think Visual Kei bands…only made in Japan. Hizuki has one that has been created by him and is about $1500 US. Japanese yen it’s like 145k.
This was really helpfull, str8 to the point no bs! thanks man
I’m planning to build a single-pickup guitar. Like a guitar with only one pickup. I’m using a humbucker and I’m deciding whether to place it on the neck, middle, or bridge. I really love the warmer sound of the bridge but I have to ask you guys (in the comments) what you think about it. I play electric like an acoustic btw hahha
fuckin idiot tell what is a humbucker before you start using the term
Thank you my problem solved after seeing this video Thank you again keep teaching Bro ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the info. Anyone can do with a screwdriver? Wow I thought it was complex to do anything to the pickups can't wait to learn more 🙂
Thank you! This was my exact question and I waded through a lot of nonsense to finally get to you and get my answer lol.
Great video, very helpful bud.
Thanks, this really helps!
I swear, he looks like ant man!
This was so helpful and clear! Thank you so much! Wish I could like this video twice.
