What else can I help you with?
What does a thicker lighter string do to the sound from a string instrument?
Thicker strings give lower notes
Give an example of a common standing wave?
A guitar string vibrating at its fundamental frequency (first harmonic) is an example of a common standing wave. The fixed ends of the guitar string create nodes, and the string vibrates in segments with antinodes in between.
How does the bass guitar create its sound?
Like for the guitar. The resonnance of a string is amplified by the resonnance hole in the body (acoustic guitar) or by the microphones (electric guitar). The bass guitar is a guitar. The main difference is the Bass guitar is lower (one octave) than a guitar.
Do the center strings on a guitar make a higher or lower pitch than the outside strings?
well, the center stings are in the middle of the pitch. The ones above it (nearer your head as you play) are lower. The ones beow it are higher.
Which string of the guitar vibrates fastest?
the low E would make the most sense its tuned with the least amount of tension and when you give it a good strum it can go on longer than any others because its hit with more pick than any other in the set even if you where to say "Remove them all" but one string and try this method.
What group is the guitar in?
String family :) p.s if you are intresting in learing i can give you tips on chords and a good guitar to beggin with
How does a guitar makes it's sound?
When a string is plucked it vibrates. The vibration of the string is tranfered to the sound bowl of the guitar through the bridge where it resonates further and becomes amplified by the body of the guitar. The amplification takes place by process similar to an echo as it bounces along inside the body until it escapes through the sound hole on the face of the guitar.
How can sound waves with different frequencies be produced by the same guitar string?
In all types of guitars the sound is produced by the vibration of the strings. However, because the strings can only displace a small amount of air, the volume of the sound needs to be increased in order to be heard. In an acoustic guitar, this is accomplished by using a soundboard and a resonant cavity, the sound box. The body of the guitar is hollow. The vibrating strings drive the soundboard through the bridge, making it vibrate. The soundboard has a larger surface area and thus displaces a larger volume of air, producing a much louder sound than the strings alone. As the soundboard vibrates, sound waves are produced from both the front and back faces. The sound box provides both a support for the sound board and a resonant cavity and reflector for the sound waves produced on the back face of the soundboard. The air in this cavity resonates with the vibrational modes of the string (see Helmholtz resonance), increasing the volume of the sound again. The back of the guitar will also vibrate to a lesser extent, driven by the air in the cavity. Some sound is ultimately projected through the sound hole (some variants of the acoustic guitar omit this hole, or have f holes, like a violin family instrument). This sound mixes with the sound produced by the front face of the soundboard. The resultant sound is a complex mixture ofharmonics that give the guitar its distinctive sound.
What is the body on a guitar for?
the body on a guitar it used to ring out the sound. without the body it would not sound as smooth and not give the strings such a good sound. me knowing because i have played the guitar since i was 6.
How does a violin give a sound?
The bow makes the strings vibrate, causing the string to make sound.
What effect does the thickness of guitar strings have on a guitar?
thick is better for low tunings, no real difference other than loudness and tuning stabillity, plus they never break.. but you can put them in standard as well. thin is better for Standard and higher tunings and are easier to play, no real difference other than them being quiet and less brutal to your fingers. They go out of tune faster and break faster.
What guitar body gives the most pure sound?
A hollow guitar body gives the most sound in acoustic guitars. For pure volume, a larger body will give more sound. For the purest sound, a body with well tunes harmonic vibrations will give the purest sound.
