I didn't know about ground loop; that was very helpful. I was hooking the grounds all to one wire and my signal seemed inconsistantly weak. I bet this video will help me cure that problem. HUGE THANKS.. again..

I am extremely grateful for this and the rest of your fine and helpful to me work. I had embarked on my most ambitious build & I was trying to ground around and connect a piezo cable & a pickup I made from the winding inside a hard rive & two magnets. I think I failed to ground to the copper tape. Or something. As said this is ambitious. I was trying to use one gain and one tone control for both, not thinking it would be too bad & I was being ambitious enough.

Electrocution can happen usually when power supplies to stage and PA system are not connected in a proper way; the mics are then connected to the ground of the PA and the guitar is connected to the ground of the stage. Potential differences between the two of up to several hundreds of Volts can occur. Carry a multimeter with your gear to be sure. You can put a capacitor with a small voltage value between the ground of the guitar cable and the rest of the shielding/ground of the guitar.

It acts as a fuse. If the voltage difference between say the outside of a microphone and the ground of your guitar is too big it will fry and sever the ground connection in your guitar. You loose the guitar signal but you have a better chance of staying alive.

It was actually Keith Relf of Yardbirds, Renaissance and Armegeddon fame who was electrocuted, and it did in fact kill him! Otherwise, an excellent, informative video, as always!

Hey mate, I've been thinking about what the effect of the capacitor between ground is.

So if i ground the pots and switch of a tele this will create a ground loop as they are already connected by the metal plate?

I remember singers getting big shocks from their microphones when the PA system or amp wasn’t wired properly or was plugged in wrong. (That’s why these devices have 3 prong plugs now).

Yes, rock 'n roll is truly dangerous 😉 Well, actually high voltages and currents are. Keith Richards got badly electrocuted on stage a long time ago, but of course he survived.

There are no ground loops in guitar wiring!!!

Hey thanks for the videos. Can I please get an explaination on how to make the "String to Ground" connection save? And in wich case did the electrocution happend? Whas it because of the 50 / 60 Hz Hum?
