[Date of Submission]Executive Summary

The relationship between cognitive ergonomics and electric guitar is discussed in this essay. In order to define the necessities, the user (guitarist) has been taken into account, over the course of this discussion. Examination of certain elements of electric musical equipment industry was done additionally. Phenomenological theory was briefly outlines, along with the inspection of the subject, their relationship to arts and science and the cognitive elements possessed by them were briefly discussed. The phenomenological evaluation of a survey was used, throughout this comparison. As a consequence of this comparison, a general judgement was decided since many opinions are represented by a survey. Moreover, analysis of human factor was done briefly with inspection of different elements of electric guitar. By specific elements of human cognition, these human factors analysis were referenced. The mind in which a guitarist works were referenced and analysed, through the discussion of cognitive elements. In the end, an idealistic perspective over musicianship in today's world was achieved by taken into consideration the phenomenological theory. In conclusion, the perception, experience, variability and subjectivity of artistic knowledge were outlined. By understanding the guitarist's mind the rate of improvement in electric guitar can still be maintained.

Introduction

Brief Background

The designing and selection of tasks and environment to fit into unique human limitations and abilities, through tools, equipment and informed decisions, as 'fitting the system to the human', is something described by the ergonomics (Green & Hoc, 1991, pp. 291). To reduce waste and errors or to increase production the reduction of unnecessary movements and tasks, reduction of awkward postures by selecting a tool shape, to near or occur at waist height the designing of a lift job, are the typical examples included in the physical ergonomic arena. On the other hand, the fit between the environment, task, machine and the human limitations and cognitive abilities are focused by the cognitive ergonomics.

To avoid catastrophic errors by operators the designing of a nuclear power plant system or an airplane cockpit, to make the majority of people act and understand in the intended manner the designing of a sign and designing a software interface to be easy to use, are examples of cognitive ergonomics applications. In the design of automated, high-tech and complex systems, an influential position is held by cognitive ergonomics. A life threatening accident or decreased quality and production can be resulted through a poor interface design on industrial automated equipment.
