Question

Explain three methods by which the note from a guitar may be lowered in pitch. EXPLAIN!!​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The first is the diameter of the string. A slimmer string, when tuned, will give a higher note than a fatter string.

The second factor in the pitch is the tension on the string. We can adjust the tension in order to get the guitar tuned properly.

The third factor is the length of string that is allowed to resonate freely. By pressing your fingers at various points up the fret board, you are shortening the amount of the string that can vibrate, thus raising the pitch. Going the other way as you finger the guitar lowers the pitch that the string produces.

Before you do anything with the strings by pressing them down, they each have a pitch. It is changed by tightening and loosening the strings with the tuners. Pitch can also be determined by length and thickness, where as thickness and length go up pitch goes down. Once you actually start putting fingers down, this changes the length of the string. As you make it shorter and shorter, the pitch goes up. The only exeption of this rule are harmonics, which are points along the string where if you touch them lightly they allow vibration on both sides of the finger.

A rather strange question with a number of answers. The most obvious pitch change comes from the tuning pegs. Then another very obvious way to change pitch is by the fretboard, placing fingers on it at various positions. Then mechanically, some guitars are fitted with a tremolo, sometimes called a whammy bar. This is a spring controlled bar that can lower or raise the pitch of all the strings at the same time. When it is released, the strings return to their original tuning. There are also little stunts or tricks like string bending, pressing down on a string between the tuning pegs and the nut, or gripping the body and putting pressure on the back of the neck that gives a subtle pitch drop although it is not recommended to do this as it can eventually loosen your neck. You can also find many different electronic effect pedals that have pitch controls on them as well but that has no mechanical effect on the guitar or strings.
