# Electric Guitar With BBC Micro:bit
.png)
## Inspiration
A guitar is a plucked stringed musical instrument. Normally, the guitar is expensive, but here I have created a cheap and convenient DIY that can help you enjoy and play real chords on an electric micro: bit guitar. Enjoy micro: bit guitar by shifting the pitch up and down octaves.
## What it does
When you touch pin 1 or pin 2 and GND it will play a broken chord, but now you can move the chord down an octave (lowering its pitch) by pressing button A and move it up an octave (raising its pitch) by pressing button B.
The pitch (frequency) of a note doubles when you move up one octave: middle A has a frequency of 440Hz (440 vibrations per second), high A has a frequency of 880Hz. This is why making the vibrating part of guitar strings different lengths with your fingers changes the pitch of the note being played.
## How we built it
micro: bit and optional battery pack
4 crocodile clip leads
cardboard, scissors, glue, tin foil
headphones, buzzer, or powered speaker
## Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were so excited to create this DIY guitar to help me and others learn and enjoy playing guitar.
## What we learned
BBC micro: bit as an Instrument Tuner.
## What's next for Electronic Guitar
We will try to make it more optimized and add some more chords to it.
