It basically switches between pickups. Depending on what position it is in determines what pick up is on. Assuming you have a two pickup guitar, the treble position would mean the bridge pickup is on, if it is in the middle position it means both pickups are on, and if it is in the rhythm position it means only the neck pickup is on.

∙ 13y agoIt puts more power into your guitar, and makes the pickups more sensitive. It is put all the way up during solos or mini-solos.
During the rest of the song, it is at one, or half-way on. Sometimes it has to be off on some Guitars.
This is just the way that I believe it works. Hope this helps.

What effect makes the electric guitar sound harsher?
I suggest buying a distortion pedal. There are several to choose from, also try putting the toggle switch on "Treble" helps. If your guitar is single coil vs. humbucker also is a big thing.
What clef is most used in guitar?
the guitar plays on the G, or treble, clef. It plays transposed down an octave, though, so it could technically play untransposed on a bass clef. All guitar music is written in the treble clef, though.
What is the difference between a rhythm guitar and a lead guitar?
Nothing. An electric guitar is used as a rhythm and ALSO a lead guitar. However, the difference between rhythm and lead guitar is just the guitar riffs that are played. Rhythm essentially keeps the rhythm/basic notes of the song while the lead guitar do a fancy lead riff and/or solo overtop of the rhythm guitar.

No, bass guitar players read bass class music. A bass player may be able to read treble cleff and play along with it, but that is not what is taught.
What is the difference between rhythm guitar and bass guitar?
I play guitar. The most obvious reason is that the bass guitar is that gives the song backing so it sounds more full. The rhythm guitar gives more of treble sound but it is more versatile and can give off a bass sound too. Plus the rhythm guitar is more upfront while the bass guitar lurks in the background and fills in to give it a fuller sound. I mean unless you turn the bass up all the way on your stereo you don't really notice unless they play with a pick or if you had good ears or it's a quiet song you can hear the "plunk." Anyways, it's filler, but that's just my answer. It's rhythm and filler. The Bass guitar, along with the bass drum, adds the foundation, or bottom to the song. If you tap your foot to the music, you are tapping to that foundation. The rhythm guitar, fills in the holes, aka filling in the music between the beats of the drums, and the fullness of the bass. Together they form the rhythm section to the song.
