Pluck it. Strum it. Flick it. Damn, anything really lol.
But if you mean vibrate so it makes a loud 'vvvvvvvvvvvvvvtttttttttt' noise, pick the string (or pluck it, or whatever) and then gently put your fingernail or a pick on it - GENTLY. the string will make a loud noise, sometimes a little bit like a 'twang'.

∙ 14y agoThis is through the phenomenon of sympathetic vibration. If an object nearby is producing a strong "e" then anything that is tuned to that same frequency (for instance the first string on a guitar) will also vibrate because it is receiving the waves through the air.

Why does a struck tuning fork sound louder when its handle is held against the table?
That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.That would cause a forced vibration; the tuning fork will make the table vibrate, or part of it, and thus, there is more surface to make the air vibrate.
If a tuning peg on a guitar snaps is it repairable?
Yes it is repairable cause my snapped and i got it fixed!
Can you put nylon strings on a steel string guitar?
A: This can be very unsafe! The design of nylon string guitars is very similar from steel string guitars. To get the best sound from a guitar there is a balance between length and flexibility. Nylon strings are under less tension than steel strings so the top is made thinner and the internal braces are lighter allowing the instrument to vibrate more, giving you better volume. The extra pressure that steel strings put on a nylon guitar can, over time, cause the top to pull up, cause braces to come loose, and even pull the bridge off the guitar! Also, most nylon string guitars do not have internal neck reinforcement (truss rod) like steel string instruments do. This will cause the neck to pull forward causing the distance of the strings from the fret tops to decrease greatly making the instrument difficult to play. The tuning gear rollers on nylon instruments are also different. They are normally made from plastic which will not support the pressure of the steel strings. The shafts may break under the extra pressure. Good answer. But if you have a guitar that you don't care about, the sound is very tinny. Alright mate, enough of that, alright mate alright mate mate.
What do you call the things on the guitar where you turn to tune it?
Tuning pegs.Also called machine heads.
How do you produce sound out of string instruments?
Pluck the string with your finger or with anything (like a pick or the hammer of a piano) and it will cause the string to vibrate at a frequency which is determined by the thickness of the string and the length of the string (which is a fixed length on a piano, but is determined by where you fret (push down on with your fingertip) the string on instruments like guitars and violins. The frequency of the vibration determines the note... since sound IS vibration.

Can you tell if an A string on a guitar is tuned by strumming the E string on the 5th fret and seeing if the resonant waves cause the A string to vibrate an Is this an accurate way to see if its tuned?
You can tell if it is in tune with itself, but not if it is in tune PERIOD. You need either a tuning fork or a basic guitar tuner.
What form of energy ia observed when strumming a guitar?
The guitarist will be turning chemical energy from food eaten into mechanical energy - the movement of his arm, the impact on the string. The string will begin to vibrate, another form of mechanical energy. The vibrating string will cause the air to vibrate too, causing the sound that we hear from the guitar which is another example of mechanical energy.

When you release a guitar string how do you stop playing the note?
Basically, I try to play a chord and when I remove my left hand fingers I inadvertently cause the string to vibrate and sound a note. This is on a classical acoustic and is a particular issue on the 4th, 5th and 6th strings.

How can one tuning fork's vibrations cause another tuning fork to vibrate?
Vibrations are transferred from one to the other through the air. If the two have the same frequency (or a very similar frequency), resonance will occur.
Give you Basic information about Guitar?
The Guitar is a stringed instrument in the lute family. Usually having 6 strings, they are plucked or strummed to cause the strings to vibrate, producing sound. The length of the string (and resulting vibration) is changed by pressing the string against a fretboard (fingerboard) which changes the pitch. Guitars are used to produce music in many a genre and are produced in many variations to suit.
How does a guitar get automatically not tuned?
Temperature changes and vibrations can cause strings to change in length or tuning pegs to move.
