Hi all,
I've made some search in teh FAQ, but I guess my questions are too basic.
I have a very hard head for electric, (Teacher's fault) but want to learn.
Here I'm sure, a few basic question for you:

- What is the difference between ground and shield (I told you I was hard headed on electric issue)?
- Can I correct out of phase on a 2 conductor hum by reversing ground and output connections?
- Bare or shield wire, (on a 4 conductors hum)does it always go to ground ?(vol pot casing) Meaning when we reverse green and black wires to correct an out of phase, does the bare follow the green?
- Is there a measure we can take to confirm an out of phase condition?

- Any good starter book for a hard headded like me on electric?
PS I will read all the FAQ...
Thanks
