See The Wavelength of a note now!

I just found this out(i dont know how i did but). Take your guitar and hold it about 1 and a half feet from your computer moniter so the guitar and the moniter are perpendicullar _|_ and so that you can see the bottom e string and the screen at the same time. Pluck the e string and then go up the frets and see the different wavelengths!

Because of the refresh rate of your monitor, you'll often hit notes that will trick your eyes into seeing resonances rather than the true "image."

Try holding your hand in front on your monitor and wave it back and forth, like you are waving "hello" to your screen.

Same effect.
