in experience I'd say they just break when you try to put them in higher tunings, not sure about making the note higher. I bought a set of Yngwie Malmsteen signature strings the first time, stringed the guitar up , stretched the strings and so I clipped off the strings and the highest note the high E would go into was C.
Shortening the string just makes it impossible to reach higher tunings as far as I know, almost smashed a 300$ guitar I owned .. but when that happened it was a long day of fixing Guitars.

What material does sound travel through in a guitur?
sound is a vibration through matter. so realistically for you to hear it, it needs to go through the air. but if your asking about the path it takes which make it sound as it does than you need to be specific about the type of guitar acoustic guitars will start at the string(s) into the hollow within the guitar out of the opening and to your ears electics start at the string into the pickups through your pedals out your amps then to your ears
How does a vibrating guitar string make a sound?
It makes a sound because it goes through your brain and your brain transfers it and tells it to you so you know what it is. So if you can hear it it is a sound.
If you change the length of the string will it make the frequency increase or decrease?
increase the length of the string means decrease the tension in the string, therefore as the tension decreases the frequency will drop due to loosen of the string.
What can make the pendulum swing faster?
By shorten the string of the pendulum
Does a thick string make a high or low pitched note?
Low
What happens when you tighten a guitar string by turning its keys what pitch will you make?
The tighter you make the string - the higher the pitch.
How do you make a guitar note higher?
1. "Fingering" When playing a melody, the pitch of a string is primarily affected by pressing the string with the left hand on the fretboard, effectively shortening the vibrating length of the string. 2. Tuning: The base pitch of each string is adjusted with the tuning keys, which finely adjust the tension on the string. Typically, this is not done during performance. 3. A "capo" is a device which attaches to the neck, shortening all strings simultaneously, and thus raising the overall pitch of the guitar. 4. "Bending" In blues and rock music, the left hand is used to stretch the string sideways (that is, perpendicular to the axis of the string) resulting in a higher pitch, that can be precisely controlled during performance.
What are tuners for on a guitar?
you can tighten or loosen your strings, causing the string make higher or lower sound. (Check guitar tuning)
What do frets on a guitar do?
They are the places where you put your fingers to make the string shorter, making the pitch higher.
On a guitar will turning the tuning machine toward you lower the sound of the string or make it higher?
Lower.
Why does increasing the tension on a guitar string increase the pitch when plucked?
yes because, as the string gets tighter it will be harder for the string to move
What is the physics of a harp?
The harp player plucks a string and it vibrates at a certain frequency, depending on the length of the string. The shorter the string, the higher the pitch. The volume can be determined on how hard the string is plucked. The harp is made of wood because wood resonates well. A pedal can be attached in order to make each string higher by shortening it by a certain amount.
Why does moving your finger up an down a guitar string change the pitch?
the frets make the guitar string make a different sound.
How do you hammer on a string?
Yes, in guitar there is such thing as a hammer-on in which you press your finger hard on the guitar string to make noise without actually picking the string.
What parts do you need to make a guitar?
wood ,string
How does guitar make sound?
The guitar makes sound when you pluck a string. The string vibrates down to the base of the guitar and travels in the hole, coming out as a sound we call a note.
Why are the strings in a guitar of varying thickness?
The thickness of a guitar string affects the pitch produced by it. The thicker a string is, the deeper the tone. However, the reason that the pitch becomes higher when a fret is pressed down on the string is because the metal of the fret is stopping all vibrations beyond that fret, thus making the string "shorter." You might be talking about the gauge of a string. Strings have different gauges to better fit the preferences of the guitarist. The higher the gauge, the harder it is to break that string. However, a higher gauge makes the string harder to play and may hurt the fingers of newer guitarists.
