How to Play chorus effects on an electric guitar

If you're a musician in need of some lessons, there's no better way to learn than with Music Radar's so-called "Tuition" instructions. Although the title tuition is misleading, this video class is anything but costly, because it's free, right here. Whether you're looking for help with your voice, bass, electric guitar, drums, guitar effects, piano, Logic Pro or production techniques, Music Radar is here to show you the way.

Getting to grips with guitar effects can be a complicated business and there are so many different types that it can be difficult to know where to start. This Guitar FX video tutorial is a brief introduction to the most common effect.

This video lesson focuses on chorus. Chorus is a type of modulation effect and works by combining a dry signal with a signal that is pitch shifted slightly up and then down over time. We won't explain how it sounds here, though, it's better to hear its effect from the video. See how to play chorus effects on an electric guitar with a Boss CH-1 Super Chorus Pedal.
