Which string of the guitar vibrates fastest?

Answer 1

the low E would make the most sense its tuned with the least amount of tension and when you give it a good strum it can go on longer than any others because its hit with more pick than any other in the set even if you where to say "Remove them all" but one string and try this method.

Answer 2

The strings of a guitar vibrate slower and faster due to the amount of tension and density that is being applied. Certain factors including the length and weight, the tension, and the compliance of the string determine whether the string vibrates quickly or slowly.

Answer 3

The one tuned to the highest note will vibrate fastest, as it's under more tension than the others.

String # 1 - the thinnest, highest pitch string; the string that is closest to the ground when you are holding the guitar like you are going to play it. It is referred to as the high E.

Sound is all about vibration. Whenever you hear a sound, something is vibrating. Particles in the air move due to the vibration and are called sound waves. When the waves that make up a sound are spaced evenly you hear a 'note'. Higher notes have sound waves spaced closer together and lower notes sound waves are wider, or further apart.

The higher notes, or the highest note, therefore would vibrate the fastest. The string will have more tension placed onto it than the others for a guitar that is in tune (also has less mass; lowest note string is thickest, with strings getting thinner for higher notes) and will vibrate faster than the other strings on the guitar. The lower note strings have less tension, are thicker (more mass) and the vibration is therefore slower, and you will hear a lower note.

The string names are as follows:

E (high)[string 1, closest to ground, thinnest string, highest pitch]

B [string 2]

G [string 3]

D [string 4]

A [string 5]

E (low)[string 6, closest to ceiling, thickest string, lowest pitch]

Answer 4

the littlest string vibrates faster because it is the smallest

Answer 5

Usually it's not the guitar it's how many watts your amp has.
