Hello guys,
I just have few questions about this.
[PLAIN]http://www.acousticguitarelectricguitarlessons.com/images/guitar/Electric-Guitar-Parts.jpg
Now I understand how a standing wave is formed. However I'm unsure what the nodal points are if I pluck an open string. Is it the headstock and the bridge?
1. If each guitar string has harmonics, how does this occur. I read that it can vibrate at many natural frequencies but I don't understand how a string could vibrate at many natural frequencies at once to create harmony? Does this occur at once or is it like one type vibration, and then another type of vibration.
2. Do you need resonance to create standing waves. I'm thinking not because all you need is to pluck the string to create a standing wave.
3. When I hold the string at a particular note, let's say a string in second fret, then where are the nodal points? Is it between the headstock and where I placed the finger or is it between the bridge and the place where I placed the finger?
Thanks a lot for any help in advance
