EKS Lesson Three  Developing scales and triads

Treble and bass clef

In general terms, music for the guitar is written in the treble clef and music for the bass guitar is written in the bass clef. The keyboard/piano, however, has music written in both clefs and, again as a general rule, the treble clef is for your right hand and the bass clef is for your left hand. There can be crossover, so remember it is a general rule.
