Vibrations run up and down the string at the sound of speed. The longer the string the lower the frequency of the wave biting both ends, resulting in a lower pitch. Frequency is simply the frequency of the vibrations.

How do you raise the pitch in an electric guitar?
The tuning pegs need to be turned to tighten the strings. Tighter strings will raise the pitch. The strings need to harmonize with one another, a guitar tuner is a tool that can aid in making all of the strings tuned to the key that you desire.
Why does tightening a guitar string raise the pitch of the string when it is played?
It increases the frequency of the sound waves produced by by the plucked string.
What is that thing that guitar players attach to the neck and fretboard to shorten the strings and raise the pitch?
A Capo. I use a shub or chub capo. Very nice.
What are 3 ways to raise the pitch of a string instrument?
Well, you shouldn't really raise the pitch above what it is supposed to be but most stringed instruments have pegs which change the tension of the strings and change the notes.
Why is my guitar buzzing when it is plugged in although other guitars work on this amplifier?
ok. your either not pressing hard enough on your strings,,,,or too close too the frets.....or your guitar needs a touch up... cuz your strings are too close too the neck if its a electric... on the bridge there should be some really tiny screws... tighten them...that wil raise your strings higher. or you can take it to a guitar shop or a proffessional

The Bridge

Explain how you could change the pitch and frequency of the sound of a guitar?
Loosening the string will LOWER the frequency, tightening it will RAISE the frequency.

What should be done when guitar strings rest on the pickup?
raise the action (string elevation) lower the pickups springs or.. adjust the neck
Why does pressing the strings of guitar raise the high pitch?
The pitch of a guitar string will rise if you shorten it or tighten it. When you press a string, you hold it against a metal bar called a 'fret'. This effectively shortens the length where the string can vibrate, so the pitch is higher. You can also 'bend' the string by sliding it sideways up the fret. This tightens the string and the pitch will also rise, but you can vary the pressure making the note slide instead of changing suddenly.

Im not a physics geek, I had to look up a few things to make sure I wasnt spreading misinformation. But you could really write a few pages on why the pitch increases if you wanted to get into acounstic resonance etc.Its not just instrument strings...you could have a 10ft long lead pipe and if you figured out some way to pull on the ends and banged on it with a rock, the pitch would increase. Cut it in half to 5ft and it'll double the pitch.Basically a string vibrates and when doing so emits a sound wave of a certain frequency. Changing the frequency is known as pitch. Higher frequencies are higher pitched notes. As you increase tension (or make it shorter) on a string the frequency of the wave increases.
