Physics and the Electric Guitar

Speaker: Nick Weaver (Headmaster, Ipswich School)

In this lecture Nick will explore his twin passions of physics and music. You can discover how an electric guitar works, how different sound effects can be applied to influence the overall sound, and how artists from the fifties to the present day have used this revolutionary instrument on hit records, filling stadiums and inspiring a whole genre of 'Guitar Hero' video games.

Attendance is free and open to all – no reservation required.
