When you pick the string it vibrates. They are made of metal or nylon. on an Electric Guitar, the vibrations from the strings are picked up on the pick-ups (appropriately named right), which are the silver dots located beneath each string, and the amplitude and frequency picked up by these sensors are transmitted to the amp where the wave data is amplified by the amp (also appropriately named right) and may be modified to produce certain sounds additionally to the string's initial sound such as wah-wah effects and distortion.
