This paper clarified the excitation mechanism of picking the strings of a guitar. The picking excites forced vibration and free vibration of the strings by giving the strings impact force, friction force and initial condition. At first, separate influence of these force and initial condition was experimentally examined. Then, generation mechanism of transient responses of the strings was examined for ordinary picking technique, by the viewpoint of the influence of impact force, friction force and initial condition.
