Now we get the radiant light of enlightenment shining down upon us. Plucking the string means we are going to get lots of different vibrations at once, and where we pluck it influences the various proportions of these vibrations in the mix. This explains why guitar strings sound different if you pluck them near the middle or close to one end. Wherever you pluck the string, the fundamental frequency will remain the same, but it will be supported by different proportions of the other vibrations. We have changed the pattern of the formal dance without affecting how often it completes a full cycle of movement. To get a new note, you must either choose another string, or shorten the one you are on by using the frets* on the guitar neck. Then you get a different fundamental, with its own group of related frequencies.
