In terms of sound wave, more specifically electric guitar, does high pitch (6 string) travel faster than low pitch (bass)?

Pitch is frequency.
The only factor affecting speed is the medium through which the sound wave travels. In this case, I'm assuming the same air for both, so both speeds will be the same.

The speed of sound is the same for each. Pitch is the frequency of the sound.

No, the speed is the same, but you'll find the low pitch carries further.
