Abstract: The guitar is probably one of the most common musical instruments in contemporary music. There are several aspects of the guitar that can be used to teach basic physics concepts, including: standing waves, pitch, frequency, harmonics, electromagnetism, tension, and frequency modulation, This lab consists of a series of activities separated by topics and uses a basic string set-up to illustrate the physics concepts on a guitar.
