this makes learning sheet music easier to learn than i thought it was

The clef symbols tell you where that note is on the staff. The line centered between the two dots of the “F” is where the note F lies. In the case of treble clef, the center of the “G” swirl is where the note “G” lies. In some trombone music, there are two more clefs that are between bass and treble, alto and tenor. Both use a “C” and the center of it tells you where the note c lies. After learning this I no longer worry about using a pneumonic, the clef always tells you where to find your starting note.

I was intimidated by your videos at first because you play so skillfully and masterfully. Now you are one of my favorite bass guitar teachers.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. YOU MADE IT EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT

[klisher]

This needs a sequel. 👍👍 maybe put some rests in the next part. Great lesson.

[lucknerJacques]

Thank you for all of your lessons God bless you

[cjlister]

Great video. After playing for 20 years and always being put off by sheet music I think im finally ready to learn to read and Ill be using this video as my starting point.

[NMranchhand]

From Trumpet in Treble to Bass in Bass, thanks for a great start!

[patriciamcknight]

Very well done sir! i'm old and retired and just want to play for my own entertainment and to learn songs using sheet music sense I don't have a ear to hear bass in most songs, so thank for your time! PS using my wife'S COMPUTER

[Crozdog]

YOU SAVED ME! thank you for not allowing me to humiliate me in Jazz Band.

I picked up a guitar (with zero knowledge of ANY instrument) and it started to dawn at me what I was getting into. Every video I saw made me feel like an idiot ....

UNTIL I SAW THIS! ..

Your explanation is the first one that gave me a ray of hope! Thank you so Much!!

[blousug]

I started reading bass clef about a month ago with my instructor and it’s getting easier everyday. This is a great, concise video! The music is a lot more fun than in the book I’m using!

[ThePaintedEye]

This makes it very easy to understand. Thank you!!

[kimmorgan]

I've been plugging away trying to learn to read music on bass for over a year. I sight read that about 90% right. Thank you! I really needed to know I'd actually made some progress!!!!

[BenD_Bass]

Thanks Dan! Reading is next on my things to learn so this was definitely helpful.

[girmaybass]

Thank you for making comprehensive beginner's material! Very helpful!

[Ebbsy]

This is probably one of the best or among the few best explanation and approach to how to learn notes and read them on a sheet paper that I have stumbled upon so far. I’m not a complete new beginner, I have learned to play a few songs but I could only read tabs and haven’t “mastered” reading notes, luckily you’ve helped me a lot through this video. Thank you so much for your simple but effective explanation.

[jeangillesguerlin]

I think read sheet is my biggest weakness in bass guitar, and overall i want to read properly. Thanks for puted your knowledge for our services. great lesson, i wish have a lot of lesson like this always.

[xcjfn]

Hey mate, I want to say I've been putting off learning sheet music, as I can already play bass with just knowing chords, but I applied for a gig as a theatre cruise musician and I have to proficiently learn sheet music, your lessons are extremely well structured and very easy to learn from, thanks for this - super helpful! :)

[kathyfoster]
