and its envelope up above it. This is what happens to the string and its energy
as the string is plucked and transfers its energy to the guitar.
Here's an image of the open "A" string being played on the S Yairi
guitar.
(Open "A" played)
Here's another
model. I created this one by copying other people's code (legally).
These ~ series of points represent the string and they're all held together
just by a force of attraction between them.
When the string is plucked
it looks something like this, a triangle shape. When it's released its going to ~
reflect on the other side something like this.
And the area enclosed in this is ~
parallelogram. It would actually represent the
energy, the total energy of the string. What's going to happen though is every time
it reflects its going to transfer some energy to the guitar
And that's going to come out as sound waves in the air. So the
shape of the string will change continuously.
And I'll show you a little bit about what that looks like. Something like this.
And ~ it starts to ~ quickly it
turns into shape for the fundamental more or less. This is the the code each of these
molecules
except for the endpoints has this code attached to it, and that's what gives ~
gives it the motion that has.
