How would I explain the physics of a guitar, using scientific vocabulary, to someone who is new to playing the instrument? I want to be able to explain in scientifically but simple enough that they would understand.

You can click on each of the "bubbles" in the last two links to get additional information about the topics listed inside each bubble.
