The G-Clef (Treble Clef): Indicates that the 2nd line – on which it sits – represents the G note.

The Octave Clef (shown as a variant of G-Clef lowered by an octave):
An 8 or a 15 above a clef raises the intended pitch range by 1 or 2 octaves respectively. Similarly, an 8 or a 15 below a clef lowers the pitch range by 1 or 2 octaves respectively.

The C-Clef (Alto or Tenor Clef): This middle of the clef points to the line representing the middle C.

The F-Clef (Bass Clef): The dots of the clef are placed above and below the line representing the

clefs in music, G or treble clef, C clef, F or bass clef


Middle C is approximately 262 Hz

Guitarists need not bother much about clefs other than the G-clef, but its always good to know things and get clear concepts. The Time and Key are discussed in later chapters as they need some building up to.
