Handdrawn stick figure with a guitar imagining the string vibrations as jump-rope-like sine waves.

Illustrated diagram of the sine waves superposed inside a triangular plucked string.

Two views of guitar strings vibrating after being plucked (left) or struck (right). Both views are looking up the neck from the bridge.
