Thanks General! I want to understand better what you are saying here - what advantage would plucking a harmonic have over plucking the open string? Is that to get me back to 110Hz so I'm no longer "lying" about the 110Hz frequency I captured?

You've done a much better job than I've been able to get when trying to capture guitar string vibration -- thanks for posting your settings and set-up. :-)

Congratulations on the ribbon!

I kinda wish the sharp, frozen part of the string would have been in the middle of the vibrating part of the string.

Try plucking while dampening the string at one of the main harmonic-points as if tuning the guitar -- 1/4 of the length from the bridge (or nut). The note there should be two-octaves higher ... probably not as nice a composition though as you probably can't also center the sound hole.

HUETH, Lydia: I will admit a dirty secret or two- I struggled to get the vibration effect "strong" enough. The secrets were: don't use flash as the primary light source, and the biggie: loosen up the string quite a lot. Even then I took multiple shots to get this one. I kinda wish the sharp, frozen part of the string would have been in the middle of the vibrating part of the string.

roz: yes, the vibrating string is technically supposed to be vibrating at 110hz if using standard tuning. (note: since I loosened my string, the title is technically a big ol' LIE!)

kasaba: congrats on YOUR ribbon, great image and an inspiration to me for future submissions. The only reason the lighting for my shot was that complicated was that I was trying to keep light from spilling into the sound hole- there's a paper label inside there that I didn't want to be visible.


thanks for explaining the setup etc .. very technical and what a great result ..
many congrats on your ribbon .. :)
