Just a quicklook through it was enligthing enougth for me. I've never cared a
lot about it as a theoretical problem, but it matches my experience with
guitars. You could also add some text and comment regarding where you pluck
the string since it in a sense goes along the same theory.

You could enjoy checking out for instance "Vibration and sound" by
Philip M. Morse.

Cheers,
