Most electric guitars are completely passive. That is, they consume no power, and you don't have to plug them into a power supply. (Some do have "active" electronics powered by an onboard battery.) The vibration of the strings produces a signal in the pickup coil. That bare, unamplified signal is what comes out of the guitar and into the amp.

The amp's job is to take the guitar's signal and make it audible by boosting it enough to drive a speaker. The fascinating thing about an electric guitar amp is that the amp is actually a part of the instrument.
