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.

How does shortening a guitar string make the note higher?
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.
