The potential energy in a guitar string can be calculated from
PE = integral F dx, where x is the distance the string is stretched.
Using Hooke's Law, F=kx, where k is the elastic modulus, and x is the distance the string is stretched.
Putting it together,
PE = integral kx dx
PE = 1/2 k x^2.
The value of x varies depending on the tuning and the size of the guitar, and the value of k varies depending on the type of string used.
As an example, say a typical guitar string has a tension of about 60 Newtons, and is stretched by 5 cm. From this we can find k = 1200 kg/s^2. Fully stretched, PE = 1/2 (1200) (0.05)^2 = 1.5 Joules.

How any strings are on a guitar?
A normal Acoustic/Electric guitar has 6 strings, and a normal bass guitar has 4 strings. There are also guitars with more strings, i.e. a bass guitar with 5 strings.
What tyes of energy are used to play an electrical guitar?
Well, It depends what type of guitar you are talking about. An acoustic guitar's strings vibrate into the body(sound box) of the guitar and the vibrations resonate in there and escape through the hole. An electric guitar however, has it's strings vibrate and magnetic coils pick up the vibrations and convert them into electrical power, through a chord, and into the amplifier. Then Bon Scott yelled "Let there be guitar!..."
When you pluck the guitar where does the sound energy comes from?
When a string on a guitar is plucked, in an acoustc guitar, the body of the guitar is built to amplify the sound that the vibrating string creates, the sound is then released through a sound port located on the body of the guitar below the strings. On an electric guitar, the strings vibrate towards what is known as a "pickup" located on the body of the guitar. The pickup amplifies the vibrations of the strings. All sounds that a guitar makes is based on where the fingers of the guitarist are on the frets and how well-tuned the guitar is.
Is there potential energy in the the string of a guitar?
no it doesn't only if you play it fastIt is true that there is potential energy in the strings of a guitar. This happens when you stretch the guitar string.
How do the strings of a guitar use kinetic energy?
The guitar strings vibrate.Kinetic is the energy of a moving object so it would be the strings cause the strings of the guitar moves.
When you release a guitar strings what kind of energy makes the strings vibrate?
sound energy i believe
