As a producer, promoter and musician the true reason the guitar is louder than the vocals is because a guitar player has access and control of several volume control knobs. As we all know the guitar and it's operator are the most important members of any band. Now every one else in the band believes the same, especially drummers who eat your food and sleep with your women.

the sound man will start everyone volumes at a low end of a high threshold of pain 1)because R & R is supposed to be played loud and 2) he is giving the blokes a place to go. Usually the guitarist will turn up a bit going into a solo (which is the sound mans job) and the battle begins THE DRUMMER, bass and rhy. will match, got to. with each solo and important riff the guitarist turns up. The singer has no knobs and no chance his only friend is mixing sound, but there is not much he can do. Pros don't usually act is way unless you are George Moberly or Pete Stadler.

EADGBE is concert pitch tuning for a guitar.DGCFAD is one tone lower.This would mean other instruments would have to adjust to suit,which usually is not recommended.The guitar tuned to the latter would sound ok if played by itself or with other guitars tuned the same because it is tuned to itself.Usually when instruments play together,they are all tuned to concert pitch.

What is the difference between Bass Guitar and Electric Guitar. What else should you buy with your first one?

A bass guitar has a longer neck and only four strings while an electric guitar has six strings. For both I would say buy an amp and most likely lessons as well, but if this is a little out of the budget, the amps is not needed and while lessons would help, a simple guitar/bass method book should suffice. An electric guitar is louder and a ''lead'' guitar. A bass,is lower pitch/sound to keep the song balenced. NOTE:if you wear headphones while listing to a song,you'll here the bass.


Why would the sound of a guitar string sound louder when attached to the body of the guitar that when plucked alone?

When mounted on an acoustic guitar the body serves as a soundboard to amplify the vibration of the strings. On a unplugged solidbody electric guitar you will notice that the sound is very similar to the string mounted to the workbench.
