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.

How do you go about tuning a 12-string guitar using an electronic tuner?

To tune a 12-string guitar using an electronic tuner, start by turning on the tuner and plucking each string one at a time. Match the pitch of each string to the corresponding note on the tuner display. Tune the strings in pairs, with the lower octave string tuned to the same note as the higher octave string. Adjust the tuning pegs until the tuner shows the correct pitch for each string.
