What does pluck a banjo mean?
It just means pulling each individual string when playing, rather than strumming - as you sometimes would with a guitar.
How many tuning pegs does a guitar have?
Depends on how many strings the guitar has, A regular six string guitar will have six, a seven string guitar will have seven, a twelve string guitar will have twelve. Same thing with bass guitars Regular four string has four tuning pegs where as a five string bass has five,
Each of these is a type of acoustic guitar except what?
five string
Why musicians pluck same string at different points to play the instrument?
The simply hold the instrument in a position that is comfortable to them. Each person is an individual.
What force is on guitar strings?
I assume you mean tension. tension is a stretching force in am object (e.g. string). If you dangle a yoyo from your hand the string is being stretched by the weight of the yoyo. If the weight of the yoyo = 1N then the tension = 1N.

How does one tune a guitar properly?
Put the guitar on your lap in a comfortable playing position. Start to tune the E string by turning the right key while listening to the sound of the E note (coming from another source) at the same time. Push down on the fifth fret of the bottom-E string that you just tuned and pluck the string. The resulting note is A. Pluck the A string and turn the A key until it sounds the same. You do the same for each note using the sound of the precedent fifth-fretted, until you have done all the notes.
How do you use a guitar tuner for a bass?
If your guitar tuner won't pick up the sounds of the open bass strings, try playing the 12th fret harmonic on each string instead. In other words, gently touch each string at the 12th fret while you pluck the string. It will make the sound one octave higher and your tuner should be able to pick it up and allow you to tune your bass. Most newer tuners work fine with bass guitar, but back when I started playing 25 years ago, they only made guitar tuners and that's what I had to do.

What happens when you play the strings?
each time you pluck or strum or bow a string, it vibrates. this vibration is at a specific frequency that your ear picks up as sound.

How does the sound of a guitar change when the strings are tightened and loosened?
the tension on the strings are what gives each string the "tone"
How can you do a science fair with a guitar?
do something about sound with the vibrations of the strings How does the thickness of each string impact the pitch?
What are the strings on a guitar turned to?
Starting with the thickest string - the bass string: E A D G B E you can use a piano or a tuning fork or an electric tuner to tune each string
How do you fix bad bass or guitar intonation?
To intonate a guitar the length of the string has to be altered so that the 12th fret harmonic matches the fretted note at the 12th. If you have changed string gauge, adjusted the truss rod or set string height then the intonation will need setting as the LAST thing you do. The method of adjusting the string length differs on guitars, but is generally a small slot-head or Philips machine screw going through the saddle on each string or pairs of strings. On a Floyd Rose vibrato the adjustment is a bit more complicated and I won't go into detail here unless requested. To start, first plug your guitar into a good tuner, preferably a strobe tuner but any old tuner will do. You can start with any string but it will make sense for me to start with describing the low E string: First tune the 12th fret harmonic to a perfect 'E'. If you don't know how to do this then ask someone who does to show you, as it is fairly hard to understand without seeing it. In theory just rest a finger of your left hand lightly directly ABOVE the physical 12th fret wire and pluck the string with your right hand to hear a bell like note. Anyway tune this harmonic to E, then hold down the 12th fret and pluck that too, ideally it should be a perfect E as well, the same as the harmonic, if not then its time to get out the screwdrivers! Taking the harmonic as your constant, if the fretted note is FLAT, then you have to SHORTEN the string, if it is SHARP, you need to LENGTHEN the string. Adjust the string length as necessary for each string by turning the saddle screw, making sure you retune the harmonic after each adjustment until the harmonic and fretted 12th match perfectly. Then your guitar should play perfectly in tune!
