Length of wire from one end only

arduinowire

I'm looking to try and get guitar notes played in real time. My q is whether it's possible to do this from one end of the string to minimize adding stuff onto the guitar. If this is possible with an arduino that would be ideal.

If I understand correctly, you are trying to get guitar notes played in real time - and you'd like to use an Arduino.

Here is a project where I used the Lorentz force to get guitar notes played...

I have successfully used an Arduino to control the strings by using a large MOSFETs connected to the Arduino digital outputs.

To minimize attaching stuff to the guitar, you can electrically connect all of the strings together at the bottom so individual connections are only require at the top by the pegs.
