i cant find the translation for -

pickup (i was thinking of just calling it a micrófono)
chord
and the action of picking a string (verb)

if u know any other words i didnt ask for but you think i'd need, feel free to say em. but i kinda need sum quick replies, as i said - this is kinda of a last resort.

In spanish the thing would be:

Pick: plumilla or púa
Pickup: that's pastilla (pastilla is also pill but that's how we call pickups too)
Chord: indeed is "Acorde"
Picking string: is "tocando la cuerda"

now and example...

take the pick with your thumb and index finger...
"toma la plumilla con tu dedo pulgar e índice"

the long thing with small metal dots under the strings are called pickups
"las cosas largas con puntos metálicos bajo las cuerdas se llaman pastillas"

In order to make a chord sound good you must place your fingers in the right notes
"para que un acorde suene bien debes de colocar tus dedos en las notas correctas"

Picking string makes the guitar to resonate
"tocar la cuerda hace resonar a la guitarra"

Hope still at good time bro.

Rock on :D
