Abstract
The sound of a guitar or similar instrument can be characterized by the time evolution of its partials and its noiselike sound components. This includes the establishment or generation of noise, families of partials, and formants and resonances by the nature of the plucking and the characteristics of the instrument. It particularly includes the decay and interchange of energy among all the sound components. The investigation of these components is facilitated by using linear and logarithmic-frequency spectral analysis and by using variable-length time windows in acquiring data to be analyzed. Displays of time-evolving spectra demonstrate the different characteristics of classes of guitars such as classical and steel string and the differences between members of each class. The relationships among measurable sound parameters and guitar quality and guitar design and construction will be discussed.
