First you want to take several strings of the guitar if you have a guitar you probably know how to do this.
Get your metal ruler and lay it on the guitar so that one end is on the bottom of the fretboard and the other is on top of one of the pickups like in picture 3.
You may want to put an elastic band around the ruler and the neck to hold it there.
Plug in the guitar and your ready to play!
