As the guitar string vibrates, it creates a disturbance in the air molecules around it. These molecules are pushed and pulled by the string's motion, causing them to vibrate back and forth. This creates a pressure wave that moves through the air as sound. The air molecules move toward and away from the guitar string (in the direction of the wave) rather than up and down, back and forth or in circles.
