What does the loudness and the pitch of a guitar depend on?

Loudness for an acoustic guitar depends on how hard you pluck the string. Loudness for an electric guitar depends on how loud the speaker setting is. Pitch depends on which string you pluck, and which fret, if any, you are fingering. The tighter the string, the higher the pitch, in general. The shorter the section that is allowed to vibrate, the higher the pitch of that string.

How do you determine pitch and volume of an instrument?

The pitch in an instrument can be how large or small the instrument is - as in small instruments are pitched higher and big instruments are pitched lower. In woodwind and brass instruments the volume is determined by how hard you blow down the instrument. On the piano it is how hard you press down on the keys. On an orchestral string instrument it is how softly you draw the bow across the strings. On a guitar it is how hard you pluck the strings.
