This project studied the standing waves of a vibrating guitar string. Vibrating strings and their standing waves have been a common place of study in the physics world for many years. High speed pictures have been taken of sections of them to analyze but never the entire length of the string. The entire length of a guitar string was filmed. A theoretical model of the string was used to see how well the standing waves produced on the real string compared to what was predicted by the theoretical model.
