What happens when you tighten a guitar string by turning its keys what pitch will you make?
The tighter you make the string - the higher the pitch.
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.
Why does increasing the tension on a guitar string increase the pitch when plucked?
yes because, as the string gets tighter it will be harder for the string to move
Which guitar string would have the lower pitch the guitar string is short and tight or guitar string is really long and loose?
depending on the the individual gauges of the six (6) guitar strings ie: E, A, D, G, B, E, of course the guitar string that is long and loose produces the lowest pitch... A good example of this are the strings on a mandolin or a 'banduria' which has shorter strings compared to the strings on the guitar...because the mandolin/banduria strings are shorter and tighter, it produces higher pitch... "short and tight=higher pitch......long and loose=lower pitch"
Why would the sound of a guitar string sound louder when attached to the body of the guitar that when plucked alone?
When mounted on an acoustic guitar the body serves as a soundboard to amplify the vibration of the strings. On a unplugged solidbody electric guitar you will notice that the sound is very similar to the string mounted to the workbench.
What happens when you tighten a guitar string by turning its keys what pitch will you make?
The tighter you make the string - the higher the pitch.
What property of the guitar string is changing the tuning pegs or change frets with your fingers?
Turning the peg or moving frets makes the pitch (frequency) of a guitar string go higher or lower.
When you tighten your guitar what effect will this have on the string?
It will it have a higher pitch.
What are the factors that affect the sound of a vibrating guitar strings?
The factors of the sound of a guitar string are tuning the string (changes the tension; the tighter the higher) and pressing down on the fret (changes amount of string that vibrates; the shorter the higher)

What does the tightness of a string on a guitar have to do with pitch?
The tighter the strings, the higher the pitch.
If a string on a guitar was made tighter and tighter what would pitch of the sound be?
higher and higher until it broke.
What are tuners for on a guitar?
you can tighten or loosen your strings, causing the string make higher or lower sound. (Check guitar tuning)
If you tighten a guitar string what kind of sound do you produce?
the pitch gets higher as you tighten
Why does increasing the tension on a guitar string increase the pitch when plucked?
yes because, as the string gets tighter it will be harder for the string to move
When a string is plucked at one-third length what happens?
Its frequency would be higher. Imagine a guitar. When you put your finger higher up the fretboard, you shorten the string essentially. This has the effect of making the note higher
