What do you recommend?

I recommend JAPA.

I've tried JAAA but it's not much user-friendly and there's no manual.

JAAA is for making precise engineering measurements and doesn't take into account how your ears work.

I'd like to visualize the harmonics produced by a guitar string.
How can I achieve what I see in this screenshot?

Well, that screenshot is showing a peak around 26kHz... way above what you can hear. And the range you're interested in is all squashed on the left-hand side of the screen between 0 and 2.5kHz.

Assuming you've got a laptop with stereo in/out:

  1. Start JAPA: japa -A
  2. Mute your speakers since it outputs pink noise.
  3. Play your guitar into a mic.  You should see what you're
     looking for (limited by the quality of mic and amount of
     ambient noise).

I don't think JAPA give you a way to freeze the screen and mark a peak.

If you use JACK (-J instead of -A), you have more control over pink/white noise output.
