electric energy to kinetic energy to heat energy
The energy transformations in a guitar involve converting mechanical energy from strumming or plucking the strings into sound energy. The vibration of the strings creates sound waves, which travel through the air as sound energy. The sound waves can then be converted back into mechanical vibrations when they reach our ears.
The energy transformation that occurs is electrical to mechanical
An electric guitar converts mechanical energy (from plucking the strings) into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. This electrical energy is then amplified and converted back into sound energy through a speaker.
In an electric motor, electrical energy (because it uses electricity) is transformed into mechanical energy (because it performs action). An electric mixer is a good example of this.
An electric guitar has potential energy stored in its strings in the form of elastic potential energy when they are stretched. When the strings are plucked, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the strings vibrate to produce sound.

electrical energy ------> light & heat energy.
The benefits of an electric guitar amplifier are the increased energy content to the signal the guitar produces and the available tone controls. The amplifier is a staple of guitarists for those reasons.
A guitar produces sound energy when the strings are strummed, causing vibrations that create sound waves. Additionally, when an electric guitar is plugged into an amplifier, it converts the sound energy into electrical energy to produce a louder sound.
An electric guitar
The difference between an electric guitar and an air guitar is a electric guitar is an actual guitar and an air guitar is imaginary. An air guitar is when people pretend to play a guitar with hand movements. An electric guitar converts vibrations of its steelcorded strings into electric current. These currents then go to a amplifier to make them louder.
