Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve cameray.
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you get in touch with technologies? With
Speaker 1: tech Stuff from how stuff works dot com. Hello everybody,
Speaker 1: and welcome to tech Stuff. My name is Chris Poett.
Speaker 1: I'm an editor here at how stuff Works dot com
Speaker 1: and sitting across from me as usual as senior writer
Speaker 1: Jonathan Strickland Crispy. I would like to rock and roll
Speaker 1: all night and party every day, right, okay, And in
Speaker 1: order to do that, I need one of the greatest
Speaker 1: inventions of the twentieth century, the blender. No, that well,
Speaker 1: that could help the whole partying part. No, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the electric guitar. Now, recently the world lost a
Speaker 1: great inventor, Les Paul, who was one of the people
Speaker 1: instrumental to use a pe in creating the electric guitar.
Speaker 1: He was not the first person to combine electricity with guitars,
Speaker 1: but we'll get to his contribution shortly. So why would
Speaker 1: you want to create an electric guitar in the first place.
Speaker 1: There are a couple of reasons, the most, I would say,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, obvious of which is that if you
Speaker 1: want your guitar to be heard by people more than
Speaker 1: a few feet away, you're going to need to find
Speaker 1: some way to amplify it. That's a good point. And
Speaker 1: so you would want to be able to plug it
Speaker 1: into an amplifier so that the amplifier would project the
Speaker 1: sound farther. That's a good point to which is, uh,
Speaker 1: you know why you have those giant speaker cabinets on
Speaker 1: the side of rock stages, right, because the only real alternative,
Speaker 1: at if we're talking about the earlier stages, is to
Speaker 1: put a microphone directly in front of the guitar and
Speaker 1: hopefully pick up the sound and and transmit it that way,
Speaker 1: which is not the best way to get a clean
Speaker 1: sound out of your guitar. It's it's inefficient, to be honest,
Speaker 1: because the sound is not the sound waves are traveling
Speaker 1: from the guitar to the microphone, and of course, anytime
Speaker 1: sound travels through the air, there is the possibility that
Speaker 1: will become distorted, yes, which sometimes is something you want,
Speaker 1: but you want to be able to control it. You
Speaker 1: don't want uncontrolled distortion. Although uncontrolled distortion would be an
Speaker 1: awesome name for a rock band, it probably is one
Speaker 1: already could be if not patent pending. Okay, so uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess we guess we do. We have a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of them pending, now, don't we at least three?
Speaker 1: So the way sound works, you've got something vibrating, right,
Speaker 1: and then that causes other molecules to vibrate. Eventually, these
Speaker 1: vibrating molecules hit our ears, causing little hairs to vibrate,
Speaker 1: sends little vibrations down to our ear drums, and that's
Speaker 1: what we interpret as sound excellent. You've got to have
Speaker 1: some sort of molecules in the in the environment in
Speaker 1: order to be able to hear, which is why if
Speaker 1: you're in outer space, you're not likely to hear anything
Speaker 1: because the molecules are spread out so far apart that
Speaker 1: there's not much chance of one bumping into another. That
Speaker 1: would be the whole vacuum thing. That would be, yes,
Speaker 1: the vacuum thing. Yeah, yes, it's the hoover element of
Speaker 1: say equation as I like to say. Yeah, I'm going
Speaker 1: to leave the science stuff to other folks, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: I of course wrote an article about can humans here
Speaker 1: in space? Spoiler alert they can't. Um. So, the the
Speaker 1: idea behind a regular guitar I mean, the reason why
Speaker 1: guitars have a hollow body, why many stringed instruments have
Speaker 1: a hollowed body body is so that creates a natural
Speaker 1: amplification chamber. Yeah, without it, you wouldn't hear very much.
Speaker 1: And the the size and shape of that chamber, you know,
Speaker 1: has a lot of effect on the way a guitar sounds.
Speaker 1: That's why some electric guitars maintain the hollow body while
Speaker 1: others go for a solid body, right, So you know,
Speaker 1: they both have their own merits and yeah, and early
Speaker 1: on in the the experiments in electrifying guitars, um many
Speaker 1: of the innovators tried to to alter existing guitars like
Speaker 1: hollow body guitars, but there was a problem with that
Speaker 1: and that you would often get distortion based upon the
Speaker 1: natural amplification from the hollow body and the electrical implication
Speaker 1: you're getting from the electric guitar. Well, also depends on
Speaker 1: how you are trying to electrify your guitar too, because
Speaker 1: if you're just hunking up a couple of jumper cables
Speaker 1: to your guitar, that's probably not the best way. Not
Speaker 1: quite what I meant, okay, because I know that in
Speaker 1: early early electric guitars. They didn't always plug in in
Speaker 1: the same place, and they didn't always try to pick
Speaker 1: up the sound from the same place. Wait, you used
Speaker 1: a word there, pick up. Oh. Yes, it's not just
Speaker 1: a truck. No, it's not. It's an important part of
Speaker 1: an electric guitar. Yes, because in in early guitars they
Speaker 1: tried to pick up the vibrations, the the sound vibrations
Speaker 1: up of you know, upwards, away from the guitar body
Speaker 1: and toward the neck and even at the end of
Speaker 1: the guitar. Yes, and now it's at the other end,
Speaker 1: the base of the guitar. That's where you're gonna find
Speaker 1: the pickups. Now a pickup. Uh, here, we've better explain,
Speaker 1: I guess the basis of an electric guitar, Like, what
Speaker 1: makes the electric guitar work? I'd like to point out
Speaker 1: that electric guitars aren't, well, at least not in most
Speaker 1: cases themselves. Electric their passward, their passive exactly. Um, we're
Speaker 1: getting back to our old friend, the electro magnet here. Yes,
Speaker 1: I remember our old friend, the electromagnet. Yes, they got
Speaker 1: up and left the other day. Does I had to
Speaker 1: pay for lunch? What a jerk? But electro magnets. Uh.
Speaker 1: You may recall from our previous episodes that if you
Speaker 1: have a UM, if you run an electric current through
Speaker 1: a coiled copper wire usually coiled around an iron core,
Speaker 1: not necessarily, but it can be UM, that can create
Speaker 1: a magnetic field. So electricity congeneraing magnetic field, and if
Speaker 1: you alter a magnetic field, you can induce electricity. So
Speaker 1: with a an electric guitar, you have a pickup at
Speaker 1: the base usually of the guitar that is a magnet
Speaker 1: that has a coil around the magnet. And uh, that
Speaker 1: means there's a magnetic field magnet. That's what magnets produce. Right,
Speaker 1: So when you strum a string, the frequency the vibration
Speaker 1: of that that string um created distorts the magnetic field
Speaker 1: by destroying the magnetic field, oscillating it. Essentially, you create
Speaker 1: an electric current. The electric current runs through the little
Speaker 1: coil that's around the magnet. And then, Uh, if you
Speaker 1: don't have your guitar plugged into anything, it doesn't go
Speaker 1: anywhere and all you won't really hear anything. If it's
Speaker 1: a solid body electric guitar anyway, UM, well you will,
Speaker 1: but you'd have to be very very close to it.
Speaker 1: You won't hear much. Yeah, it will sound pretty weak
Speaker 1: and uh, because there's nothing to really amplify the sound. Now,
Speaker 1: if you haven't plugged into an amp, that little electric
Speaker 1: signal will go to the amp which has a couple
Speaker 1: of different elements to it that can boost the signal
Speaker 1: and then convert it back into sound. And that's the
Speaker 1: sound you hear when you strum the strings on electric guitar. Now,
Speaker 1: UM for an electric guitar to uh what I mean,
Speaker 1: assuming that we're not talking about an acoustic electric guitar
Speaker 1: in which you're basically attempting to amplify the sound from
Speaker 1: the electric guitar. If you're talking about UM an electric
Speaker 1: guitar like, for example, a less paul Um, then the
Speaker 1: pickups are directly underneath the strings where you actually play,
Speaker 1: where actually strong or pick the strings UM, and that
Speaker 1: enables them to be very close to the origin vibration.
Speaker 1: And in some cases the pickups are designed to um
Speaker 1: move closer to or farther away from the string as
Speaker 1: you need to adjust them so that you can pardon
Speaker 1: the pun for once uh fine tune your sound. You
Speaker 1: can sort of modify things too, as you need to
Speaker 1: to get the sound you're trying to get. That's not
Speaker 1: always the case. I mean, some of them are very
Speaker 1: very simple, where there is a single bar magnet that
Speaker 1: as you used as a pick up. But you'll notice
Speaker 1: too that some guitars use one set of pickups while
Speaker 1: other guitars use several different sets of pickups. And you
Speaker 1: can actually you'll see switches on the guitar body that uh,
Speaker 1: you know, enables you to turn one set on or
Speaker 1: one set off, or modify the sound to to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, make changes to your sound without having to
Speaker 1: sit there and you know, rewire the whole darn thing. Yeah. Essentially,
Speaker 1: you have controls that allow you to filter out certain frequencies,
Speaker 1: and so by choosing which frequencies you want and which
Speaker 1: ones you don't want, you can have your guitar sound
Speaker 1: in you know, many different ways. You can have that
Speaker 1: really you know kind of crunchy rock sound that you
Speaker 1: hear from alternative rock bands, where you can have that
Speaker 1: more sort of twangy sound from uh, you know, a
Speaker 1: country western or even like the sort of the surf
Speaker 1: rock sound of a guitar. A lot of that is
Speaker 1: just through filtering out which frequencies you want to to
Speaker 1: go to the app and which ones you don't. So
Speaker 1: it's kind of cool that with one instrument you can
Speaker 1: get so many different sounds out of you know, just
Speaker 1: by tweaking a knob or two. Yeah. And the one
Speaker 1: of the really cool things about an electric guitar as
Speaker 1: far as I mean just from a scientific standpoint, although
Speaker 1: apparently I'm not leaving the science to other people, UM,
Speaker 1: is that you can make so many modifications. I mean
Speaker 1: that having it wired like that gives you a lot
Speaker 1: of control over the sound, and it actually enables you
Speaker 1: to uh share the sound and control of your sound
Speaker 1: with another p of your instrument puzzle, which is the amplifier,
Speaker 1: because once you plug it in, the amplifier becomes part
Speaker 1: of the electric guitar as the entire instrument. UM. In
Speaker 1: some cases you're it's just simply going to amplify. But
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, especially for rock musicians, UM,
Speaker 1: there are amplifier amplifiers you can buy that have a
Speaker 1: lot of the equipment built in that allows you to
Speaker 1: modify the sound. You can add reverberation for example, UM
Speaker 1: or distortion, which is very very popular depending on the
Speaker 1: kind of music you're playing. UM. And then of course
Speaker 1: there are effects pedals um, some of which actually I
Speaker 1: know some people who have quite a few effects pedals
Speaker 1: UM and basically what these are doing enables they enable
Speaker 1: you to make slight changes to the way those vibrations
Speaker 1: are are distributed across the um, the electrical current from
Speaker 1: between the guitar and the amplifier, and then you know,
Speaker 1: from there to whatever else I guess technically the speaker,
Speaker 1: but if you are in some cases playing saying arena show,
Speaker 1: you might have a microphone stuck up next to your
Speaker 1: actual guitar amp and then from there just going through
Speaker 1: the p A system out to the crowd. So there's
Speaker 1: a there's a lot of wiring and rock stars live
Speaker 1: lives I can only dream of. Yeah, I've had to
Speaker 1: haul around a lot of that gear so thankfully not
Speaker 1: usually the p A, but I just looked at that gear. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's heavy, a lot of it. What I think is
Speaker 1: cool about electric guitars as it does allow you to
Speaker 1: do things like have a guitar that has a solid body.
Speaker 1: I mean again, if if it weren't for the electrical amplification,
Speaker 1: then a solid body guitar would be pretty much useless
Speaker 1: because you would have to be sitting just a couple
Speaker 1: inches away to be able to hear anything that was
Speaker 1: coming out of it in the first place. Um and
Speaker 1: uh Les Paul's is widely credited with creating the first
Speaker 1: real solid body electric guitar, which he called the log Um.
Speaker 1: It would it is it is. It was made by
Speaker 1: made out of a slab of wood, a solid block,
Speaker 1: and and uh, it actually could come apart in pieces.
Speaker 1: I've seen pictures of it. It was pretty impressive. And
Speaker 1: granted he refined that design lightly, that was not the
Speaker 1: design that Gibson picked up when they started to market
Speaker 1: the guitars later on. Um. Yeah, and and the electric
Speaker 1: guitar has really revolutionized music. I mean there, it's that's
Speaker 1: not a exaggeration by any stretch of the imagination. By
Speaker 1: pairing an electric guitar with an app and playing a note, uh,
Speaker 1: it's possible for you to get a vibration off the
Speaker 1: the speaker that continues to vibrate the string, and you
Speaker 1: get a perpetual note, a note that will last forever,
Speaker 1: or until the power runs out, or until the power
Speaker 1: runs out, or until your audience decides they've had enough
Speaker 1: of this and they're gonna go home. He just kind
Speaker 1: of play that one note. This is like the most boring,
Speaker 1: grateful dead concert ever. He's jamming on one note and
Speaker 1: that's it. Well, you know whatever floats. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I could have manage managed that. You know, I bet
Speaker 1: there's a performance artists out there somewhere who's done this,
Speaker 1: and sure that I'm sure there are more than one.
Speaker 1: But yes, yes, I'm pretty sure. Um. You know, more
Speaker 1: power to you if that brings the grant money in
Speaker 1: good luck. But um, if you've wondered, if you've watched
Speaker 1: a rock band play and then watched another rock band
Speaker 1: right after them, you go, why, you know, why does
Speaker 1: it matter what guitars they're using? You know, other than
Speaker 1: maybe a six swing string versus a twelve string or
Speaker 1: you know, uh, a regular guitar versus say, an alto
Speaker 1: or a bass guitar. Um, I'm sorry, a tenor versus
Speaker 1: a bass guitar. You might go, Okay, well, I get it.
Speaker 1: Once a little bigger than the other one has a
Speaker 1: couple more strings, So you know, why are there? You know,
Speaker 1: what's the difference in a stratocaster versus the last Paul? Well,
Speaker 1: it all it's sort of all comes down to the
Speaker 1: things we were talking about before, the number of pickups,
Speaker 1: what kinds of pickups there are on it, whether or
Speaker 1: not it's a hollow or solid body, the kind of
Speaker 1: wood it's made out of, or other material that it
Speaker 1: may be made out of, and um. You know, even
Speaker 1: Gibson changed things a couple of years ago when they
Speaker 1: offered an ethernet guitar because suddenly the connection is no
Speaker 1: longer analog, which is basically it's a you know, one
Speaker 1: quarter inch phono plug on either end. You plug one
Speaker 1: side in your guitar, one side and your amp. Well,
Speaker 1: Gibson changed that by incorporating an Ethernet connection. Well, that
Speaker 1: changes the sound even more, gives you an opportunity to
Speaker 1: play a really clean digital signal, which a lot of
Speaker 1: purists really don't like the idea of. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: everything adds a little bit of change to it, so um.
Speaker 1: And that's why some people prefer vintage guitars over brand
Speaker 1: new guitars. They say, well, you know, it was made
Speaker 1: out of this kind of wood back in six five.
Speaker 1: It's made out of this kind of wood now is
Speaker 1: just not the same. And they may look the same
Speaker 1: to you or me, but that's not the same. And
Speaker 1: you saw one of those digital guitars over sea, Yes,
Speaker 1: didn't you? Yes, I did. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: little weird. Um. Not not because there's anything necessarily wrong
Speaker 1: with it, but I thought, well, you know, I wonder
Speaker 1: if this is the kind of thing that's going to change, um,
Speaker 1: the way people play guitar. And I don't know that
Speaker 1: it has significantly. I haven't seen a lot of people
Speaker 1: with them. As a matter of fact, I've seen nobody
Speaker 1: in person with them. Um. But it was sort of
Speaker 1: the same kind of thing that you saw in the
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties with electronic drums. They were all the rage
Speaker 1: back in the day because you could play all kinds
Speaker 1: of sounds on them. And now the purists I think
Speaker 1: have sort of maybe not one out because they still
Speaker 1: make electronic drums, but they have certainly taken the the
Speaker 1: electronic drum market back. And I think that acoustic or
Speaker 1: not acoustic, but uh, analog guitars, electric guitars are are
Speaker 1: still predominantly the most popular. Yeah, I'm just waiting for
Speaker 1: the key tar to really really make an impact, right.
Speaker 1: And you know it's funny because I'm just gonna skip
Speaker 1: that um because it's there's a there's a website. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming it's still there. I can check real quick while
Speaker 1: we're talking. But um, there was a guitar website called
Speaker 1: guitar geek dot com um and basically, uh, it hasn't
Speaker 1: been updated in a while, but it allows you to
Speaker 1: look at the rigs that everybody has set ups. You
Speaker 1: can see what kind of guitar that they that famous
Speaker 1: artist plays, along with the effects pedals they might use,
Speaker 1: and what kind of amplifier UM they might use. And
Speaker 1: it's really kind of cool because you learn things about
Speaker 1: certain guitar players like um Dave Davies of The Kinks,
Speaker 1: who liked to slit his um speaker and his amplifier
Speaker 1: cabinet so that it would provide just the right distortion sound.
Speaker 1: And suddenly it's no longer about the guitar or the
Speaker 1: effects pedals, but um whether or not the speaker as
Speaker 1: a hole in it? Nice. Uh. Yeah, I'd like to
Speaker 1: see how how Queen got that amazing sound at the
Speaker 1: end of the with the guitar solo of UM we
Speaker 1: Will Rock You, because that's still to this day my
Speaker 1: favorite guitar solo ever. Yeah, no serious, it really is.
Speaker 1: UM so here's a little trivia for you guys. Uh.
Speaker 1: We were talking about the oscillations of the string causing
Speaker 1: a change in the magnetic field, and that is what
Speaker 1: creates the electrical current. Um. That is based off of
Speaker 1: Faraday's law. So there you go. If you ever are
Speaker 1: watching a musician rock out uh on stage, you can
Speaker 1: turn to the person next to you and say, this
Speaker 1: is an excellent demonstration of Faraday's law, which is guaranteed
Speaker 1: to get you the ladies. Yeah, not actually guaranteed, your
Speaker 1: ma y, some restrictions apply it. It worked on my wife,
Speaker 1: but she's taken So okay. Then, well are you Are
Speaker 1: you all rocked out? Yeah? I'm kind of rocked out
Speaker 1: for the moment. Well then I guess that takes us
Speaker 1: straight to a listener. Yeah, rock on this listener. Mail
Speaker 1: comes from Louis and or Louis Louis or Lewis. I
Speaker 1: don't know. You can write me and let me go
Speaker 1: hey me again. So you think I know how to
Speaker 1: pronounce his name? Bry Now finally got my modem working again,
Speaker 1: so time to email you. In the video game podcast
Speaker 1: The New One, you said that the p S three
Speaker 1: had a cell based processor. What does this mean. Also,
Speaker 1: from what you were saying, it seemed that in the
Speaker 1: US Xbox three sixties are more expensive than the we.
Speaker 1: Is this true here? In New Zealand, a twenty gigabyte
Speaker 1: Xbox three sixties three hundred dollars, whereas a WE cost
Speaker 1: almost four fifty And I'm a bit confused. Well, Louie, Um,
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the cell based processor. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's a specific kind of microprocessor architecture, right, It's based
Speaker 1: off of the cell broadband engine architecture. It's just sell
Speaker 1: for short UM. And the idea here is that each
Speaker 1: cell and handle a certain amount of um of of
Speaker 1: calculations per second. UH. And the p S three has
Speaker 1: I believe, seven of these cells, So each cell is
Speaker 1: capable of handling a massive amount of information. The problem
Speaker 1: is you have to be able to design games that
Speaker 1: take advantage of this. They're very good at handling parallel problems.
Speaker 1: So in other words, you've got a you know, one
Speaker 1: of them's handling graphics, another might be handling physics engine,
Speaker 1: another might be handling sound something like that, as opposed
Speaker 1: to all of them working together on one big problem.
Speaker 1: So so if you can divide it up if you
Speaker 1: can divide up duties for each cell. Uh, it really
Speaker 1: takes advantage of the hardware. Um, otherwise you've just got
Speaker 1: a massively powerful machine that that you can't really take
Speaker 1: advantage of. But uh, you know, if you design the
Speaker 1: game the right way, that makes that system one in
Speaker 1: the most powerful system on the market right now or none.
Speaker 1: PS three would be the most powerful. But again you
Speaker 1: have to design the software to match the hardware's capabilities. Now,
Speaker 1: as for the pricing, well back when the game consoles
Speaker 1: first came out and they didn't all come out at
Speaker 1: the same time, we should we should make that point.
Speaker 1: But the core system, the Xbox three sixty core system
Speaker 1: was two dollars and the Xbox three sixty the main system.
Speaker 1: Because the core system was the no frills version, the
Speaker 1: main system was three. P S three came out with
Speaker 1: two different models as well. At that time. There was
Speaker 1: a twenty gigabyte version and that was four hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety nine dollars, But then there was the sixty gigabyte
Speaker 1: version that was five hundred and ninety nine dollars, pretty
Speaker 1: expensive states right in the US and the WE when
Speaker 1: it came out two nine dollars, So it was cheaper
Speaker 1: by fifty bucks than the next least expensive console. I
Speaker 1: should also add many people have written in to point
Speaker 1: this out, and I think we mentioned it in an
Speaker 1: earlier podcast as well, but the those first PS three
Speaker 1: models were backwards compatible. You could play PS two games
Speaker 1: on them. It was only after they moved to the
Speaker 1: PS three eighty gigabyte version, and even some of the
Speaker 1: early ones of those were backwards compatible, but eventually they
Speaker 1: took that compatibility out of the p S three and
Speaker 1: since then it has not been there. Yeah, and some
Speaker 1: of those older models are are much more um prized
Speaker 1: by PS three fans than the newer models because of
Speaker 1: backwards compatibility. Yeah, because it means one less machine that
Speaker 1: you have to have hooked up to your your system
Speaker 1: if you want to play all your games. Uh. And
Speaker 1: when we were recording that podcast, we were really concentrating
Speaker 1: on the systems that were available on the market as
Speaker 1: of the recording of that podcast. And while you can
Speaker 1: find the sixty gigabyte p S three's, and you know,
Speaker 1: things like Craigslist or eBay or whatever, in general, your
Speaker 1: local game store, unless they're selling used consoles, they're not
Speaker 1: going to have one of those um in stock because
Speaker 1: they've been out for a while. Um, So that's really
Speaker 1: why we weren't talking about those and why we said
Speaker 1: that the p S three was not backwards compatible. It
Speaker 1: wasn't because we didn't know about these earlier models, because
Speaker 1: you can't really get those in your average store. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: today the pricing is a little different. Uh. The Xbox
Speaker 1: three sixty Elite just got knocked down to two dollars.
Speaker 1: The Xbox three sixty Arcade is to forty nine. They
Speaker 1: are completely eliminating the core Xbox three sixty that's gonna
Speaker 1: go away once they sell out. That they're gone. Uh,
Speaker 1: then you've got the p S three Gigabyte Slim. That
Speaker 1: one is the and the Wei is still sitting there
Speaker 1: at to forty nine hasn't changed, which is uh. If
Speaker 1: those for those of you who are listening in on
Speaker 1: our conversation with our single listener who lives in New Zealand,
Speaker 1: that's as of right now, recording a podcast three and
Speaker 1: twenty six cents in your US currency, uh for the
Speaker 1: four and or fifty dollars that it costs in New Zealand,
Speaker 1: So it is actually more expensive there he would have
Speaker 1: to pay in US currency to get that machine. We
Speaker 1: would we would smuggle you and a us uh we
Speaker 1: and have you just pay us the equivalent, except that
Speaker 1: it wouldn't do any good because all the pictures will
Speaker 1: be upside down. Okay, then, so if you have any comments, questions,
