This is Mr. Martinez.

I am so happy you are here.

Today, I have a new instrument.

This is an electric guitar.

Yes, it is called electric because it needs an amplifier, this guy over here, to get the sound out of the instrument.

If I close the volume, this is the sound that we get.

[soft bluesy music] Oh, it's not too loud.

When I turn it up, check it out.

[loud bluesy music] And it has six strings, like acoustic guitar.

And that's why it is electric guitar.

And it is time to say hello, everybody!

But before we get those two words we are going to learn today, I want to sing with you a special song.

Children, just remember the sound could be really quiet or really loud.

Have you heard something loud, loud, loud in your neighborhood?

Of course.

I think when the ambulance is passing, that is too loud.

[David makes ambulance siren sound] Have you heard something really quiet?

Maybe some birds in the morning?

[David whistles softly] What else is really, really, really, really quiet?

Tell me.

We are surrounded by wonderful sounds.

Some of them are really loud, some of them are really quiet.

My friends, it's time to say goodbye.

What about we invite our friend out today, the electric guitar to say goodbye.

Are you ready?

Here we go.
