Join Scientific Sue on this amazing journey of scientific discovery and find out how the scientific inputs of Volta, Oersted and Faraday lay the foundations for the development of one of the most important inventions of the 20th century- the electric guitar - the key musical instrument which totally defines the tone and character of rock music.
