Question

Strum each guitar string without holding the frets. (String #0 is the lowermost string while stringing
#6 is the uppermost string.)
Record your observation in the table provided.

Answer 1

Six strings, each with a higher pitch

How to refer to the six strings

Guitars typically have six strings. Each string has a different thickness. Starting from the thinnest string, the strings are called string 1, string 2, and so on, up until string 6. Strings 1 and 2 are called "plain strings" and are bare steel strings (unwound). Strings 3 through 6 are wound with metal. When holding a guitar, string 6 is the topmost string.

The thicker the string, the lower the pitch

Moving from up to down (i.e. from thicker to thinner) result in an increasingly higher pitch. The diagram below shows ordinary tuning, which refers to the tone produced from each string when not held down with the left hand.

Strings 1 through 6

The pitch becomes lower as you move up the strings

Answer 2

Answer:

Standard tuning defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E, from the lowest pitch (low E2) to the highest pitch (high E4). Standard tuning is used by most guitarists, and frequently used tunings can be understood as variations on standard tuning.
