Electronic stringed instrument, musical sound generation method, and storage medium

A musical sound generation method used in an electronic stringed instrument, the electronic stringed instrument including:

• a plurality of strings stretched above a fingerboard unit provided with a plurality of frets;
• and a state detection unit that detects a state between each of the plurality of frets and each of the plurality of strings, wherein the electronic stringed instrument
• detects picking of any of the plurality of strings;
• provides a sound source with a sound generation instruction of musical sound of a pitch determined based on the state detected by the state detection unit;
• detects a vibration pitch of a string of which picking is detected;
• and
• corrects the pitch of the musical sound generated by the sound source, based on the detected vibration pitch.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a program configured to cause a computer used in an electronic stringed instrument, the electronic stringed instrument including:

• a plurality of strings stretched above a fingerboard unit provided with a plurality of frets;
• and a state detection unit that detects a state between each of the plurality of frets and each of the plurality of strings, to execute:
• a string picking detection step of detecting picking of any of the plurality of strings;
• a sound generation instruction step of providing a sound source with a sound generation instruction of musical sound of a pitch determined based on the state detected by the state detection unit;
• a pitch detection step of detecting a vibration pitch of the string of which picking is detected;
• and
• a correction step of correcting the pitch of the musical sound generated by the sound source, based on the detected vibration pitch.
