I just bought a new guitar, and I asked myself: what is the highest note you can play in standard tuning? When plucked, the high E string vibrates at 440×2−512 Hz, or approximately 329.628 Hz.
Also, do string instruments make standing waves?
String and wind instruments are good examples of standing waves on strings and pipes.
Beside this, how does string length affect frequency? When the length of a string is changed, it will vibrate with a different frequency. Shorter strings have higher frequency and therefore higher pitch. When a musician presses her finger on a string, she shortens its length.
Just so, how does tension affect frequency?
Increasing the tension on a string increases the speed of a wave, which increases the frequency (for a given length).
What does 440 mean on A guitar tuner?
A440 (also known as Stuttgart pitch) is the musical pitch corresponding to an audio frequency of 440 Hz, which serves as a tuning standard for the musical note of A above middle C, or A4 in scientific pitch notation.

What frequency is g4?
When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of middle G (G4) note is approximately 391.995 Hz. See pitch for a discussion of historical variations in frequency.
