Jimi Hendrix is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. But did you ever wonder about the science behind how he was able to translate wood and metal into notes, rhythm, melody, and music?
In a recent TedEd video (wonderfully animated by Chris Boyle), teacher Oscar Fernando Perez examines the physics of the guitar, and describes how guitarists are able to create the fantastic sounds with which we've all become familiar.
Watch the video below, and see the entire TedEd lesson here.
