NEW VERSION OF THIS VIDEO WITH FIXED SOUND; https://youtu.be/HaQzW6obGMo Guitar electrics 1. Everything you need to know to fix or repair and modify the electrics on you guitar. This is the first of a series of videos for absolute beginners teaching you all you need to know about the electrics in a passive electric guitar. By the end of this series of videos you will know how a circuit works and what each component in the circuit does, along with the most common faults. Having this knowledge is essential if you want to fully understand an electric guitar and how it works. In future videos I will cover electric guitar pickups, pickup selector switches, potentiometers, capacitors and screening. In this video you learn what a circuit is and how to find faults that can occur in an electric guitar circuit, how to recognise and repair an open circuit and how to recognise and repair a short circuit.
