Why does a base guitar have longer strings than a regular guitar?

It gives a deeper and "Bassier" tonal quality. Also the strings are longer because of the lower pitch of the notes that are generally played. A pitch of a string depends not only on the length but also the tension. A loose short string doesn't sound as good as a long tighter string.

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.
