Bass Clef vs Treble clef. Whats the difference?

the bass clef is below middle C, the treble clef is above middle C

so from the bottom to the top (line, space, line space)
_____F
_____D
_____B (TREBLE CLEF)
_____G
_____E
_____middle C (line) (leger line between the treble and bass clefs)
_____A
_____F
_____D (BASS CLEF)
_____B
_____G

(the spaces between the lines... you guessed it... the letter that is missing, between G & B, A)

hope this helps

 

There is no "bass cleft" or "treble cleft"...stop saying it that way if you do and stop writing it that way! It's bass clef or treble clef...got it?

 

bass clef is (from bottom to top) GBDFA for the lines
the spaces are ACEG

treble is (from bottom to top) EGBDF for the lines
the spaces are FACE

 

Lets throw in Tenor clef to mix things up

Hooray for moveable C clefs!

 

Moveable C clefs rule!!!!

 

Get your viola nonesense out of here... heathen!

 

Take your time and practice reading every day.
It's not that hard.

Btw>
Don't neglect your English class either

 

(E)very (G)ood (B)oy (D)oes (F)ine

(G)ood (B)oys (D)o (F)ine (A)lways

I think that's what they taught us many many years ago.

You know back when schools had their s... together and still offered music programs, recess, sports programs, and I almost forgot "REAL" homecooked meals in the cafeteria

 

Answer: A palette vs a chin?

just kidding!

 

if you want to learn bass clef really well you can get either "standing in the shadows of motown" or a bass clef copy of the real book and just read out of it every day.

or grab some piano music (has both) and just point at the notes and name them with no bass in your hands

 

Meaning there is a book of bass clef transcriptions of motown bass lines?

Looked at www.standingintheshadowsofmotown.com and couldn't find.

I'm pretty much tied to charts so this would be useful.

Yah, I know "Get an ear."

Thanks for your reply.

No, he was talking about the bass clef version of The Real Book. The Real Book is the holy word for anyone who wants to play jazz/blue/funk/whatever the hell else. It's a great resource. Any band should have at least a few around at all times.

 

Get a copy of the Real Book. Keep it with you at all times. I've found it to my greatest resource when I'm jamming and I don't know a song. Knowing how to walk over a melody with only the chord symbols provided will help a lot in the long run, regardless of your genre. I play metal but my teaching was all Classical on an Upright and jazz on the bass guitar. Jazz = Metal, only harder >_<

 

Right. The thread title makes my eyes hurt.

OP -- Exit the thread, double click next to the thread hyperlink, and edit. I tried it yesterday on a thread of mine, it works.
