An electric guitar is a guitar-shaped musical instrument, which functions like a normal guitar (with frets and strings), but lacks a resonating cavity. As a result, without amplification, an electric guitar has a muted, tinny sound.
Most frequently, electric guitars are amplified electronically, through use of a speaker, or computer system, which washes the music through boost phases, creating a sound most often associated with rock and roll music.
Popular video games today, such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band, simulate the electric guitar.
