By closing the string at any fret. Fretted tones get higher as you are approaching the guitar body (string is getting shorter). You can draw out particular tonal spectrums by plucking or strumming along the string plane.

The fretting hand can also articulate pitch variations through slurs - pulls, hammers, bends, slides, and vibrato.

Harmonics also offer a tonal variation. They are created by lightly touching a string at different locations along the string plane. The strongest overtones (harmonics) are located at fret 12, 7, 5, and 4 and 9. There are also other means of creating harmonics.

What is the relationship between the guitar pitch and the frequency of the strings when playing different notes?

The pitch of a guitar note is directly related to the frequency of the strings. When a string vibrates faster, it produces a higher pitch, and when it vibrates slower, it produces a lower pitch. This means that playing different notes on a guitar involves adjusting the frequency of the strings to produce the desired pitch.
