EBS Lesson Six Developing rock grooves (part 1)
Music for the bass guitar is written on the musical stave. You have seen the stave used all the way through the course so far and you will know it as the five lines and four spaces upon which we have written your musical exercises.
Specifically, your musical exercises are written in the bass clef, as the notes you play on the bass are of a low pitch. Notes of a higher pitch are written in treble clef.
The electric guitar course is written in the treble clef and the keyboard course is written in both clefs, as the keyboard has a range of notes that covers both clefs from very high to very low.
If you look below you will see two figures numbered ‘7’ and ‘8’. In Figure 7, we have written on the stave the bass notes that fall in the spaces. In Figure 8, you have the remaining notes that fall on the lines.
You will see both treble and bass clefs written together and you can distinguish them by the different symbols at the beginning of our example bars of music.
Please feel free to return to this page, or even print it out and pin it on the wall. This will enable you to refer to it easily.
