An electric guitar is a fretted stringed instrument with a neck and body that uses a pickup to convert the vibration of its strings into electrical signals.
 The vibration occurs when a guitarist strums, plucks, fingerpicks, or taps the strings.
 It is sensed by a pickup, most commonly by a magnetic pickup that uses the principle of direct electromagnetic induction.
 The signal generated by an electric guitar is too weak to drive a loudspeaker, so it is plugged into a guitar amplifier before being sent to a loudspeaker, which makes a sound loud enough to hear.
 The output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, and the signal can easily be altered by electronic circuits to add "color" to the sound or change the sound.
 Often the signal is modified using effects such as reverb and distortion and "overdrive", with the growling sound of the latter being a key element of the sound of the electric guitar as it is used in blues and rock music.
The Travelling Band are a rock band from Manchester, England.
 The band members are Jo Dudderidge (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, hammond organ/piano, electric guitar), Adam P. Gorman (lead vocal, electric guitar, synth) and Nick Vaal (drums, percussion).
 Prominent touring members include Harry Fausing Smith (violin, sax, guitars, vocals), Chris Hillman (electric guitar, pedal steel) and Sam Quinn (bass guitar).
 Previous full-time members include Steve Ballinger (vocals, guitars, keys), Steve 'Mugger' Mullen (lead guitar) and Chris 'Spenny' Spencer (bass guitar).
Electric music technology refers to musical instruments and recording devices that use electrical circuits, which are often combined with mechanical technologies.
 Examples of electric musical instruments include the electro-mechanical electric piano (invented in 1929), the electric guitar (invented in 1931), the electro-mechanical Hammond organ (developed in 1934) and the electric bass (invented in 1935).
 All of these electric instruments do not produce a sound that is audible by the performer or audience in a performance setting unless they are connected to instrument amplifiers and loudspeaker cabinets, which made them sound loud enough for performers and the audience to hear.
 Amplifiers and loudspeakers are separate from the instrument in the case of the electric guitar (which uses a guitar amplifier), electric bass (which uses a bass amplifier) and some electric organs (which use a Leslie speaker or similar cabinet) and most electric pianos.
 Some electric organs and electric pianos include the amplifier and speaker cabinet within the main housing for the instrument.
Explosions in the Sky is an American post-rock band from Texas.
 The quartet originally played under the name Breaker Morant, then changed to the current name in 1999.
 The band has garnered popularity beyond the post-rock scene for their elaborately developed guitar work, narratively styled instrumentals, what they refer to as "cathartic mini-symphonies," and their enthusiastic and emotional live shows.
 They primarily play with three electric guitars and a drum kit, although band member Michael James will at times exchange his electric guitar for a bass guitar.
 The band has later added a fifth member to their live performances.
 The band's music is almost purely instrumental.
