Real Easy Book Bass Clef Pdf Free
The bass clef Real Books are wonderful for getting started. I read (and memorize) as many 'heads' or melodies from the book as I can. Then go ahead and get a treble clef book and start doing the same thing - especially on tunes you've worked on in bass clef.It's highly unlikely you'll ever get a bass clef chart from anybody - unless you back up a trombone player!I also do a thing where I read bass clef in the lower positions of the bass - and read treble above the 12th fret. Somehow it makes better sense in my brain to do it this way.Good news is, if you work on it enough.you can memorize the tunes and leave the books at home.I always carry a few books to the gig - because someone always seems to call something I haven't totally worked out.Ain't jazz grand? Click to expand.Nah, nobody uses it anymore unless they're either studying old music or learning to transpose as they sight read in a fancy school. It's a shame, really.
I'd rather see a clef change than a ledger line.By the way, the bass is a C instrument. That letter refers to how an instrument is transposed when it's written.
A Bb trumpet is written a whole stop higher than it sounds, and an F horn is written a fifth higher. While the bass is transposed when written, it's by an octave, so it's still a C instrument. As a trombonist, I'm required to read tenor and alto clef(in addition to bas clef) - both are kind of a movable clef where an intersection in the symbol points to C. In tenor clef C is on the second line from the top; in alto clef it is the center line below that.Violists read alto clef frequently, and I believe cellists read tenor and alto clef frequently also.I have to read tenor clef all the time, but alto clef doesn't turn up as much - except for some older music that is often played on alto trombone.Sorry for hijacking the thread - I agree with others that it's a great idea to learn how to read the treble clef book.
It's an extremely useful skill for any instrumentalist. My high school teacher who played saxophone learned standards from that C book, meaning he had to learn to transpose, which he said proved invaluable in his later work. Initially I asked a friend who played saxophone about the real book, he said because of his instrument, he used one in Eb, so I naturally thought that I should get one in C. But then I saw a bass clef version of it over the internet, and thought to myself, perhaps this is the one I ought to get instead, because basslines are written in the bass clef. But now, I'm getting a bit confused, if I'm better off reading from a real book for c instruments, who(which musician) exactly should be using the one in bass clef?
Could someone describe what a transcription looks like in a real book, or show me an example? Are all the instruments in a given song transcribed, are just one or two? Is the transcription complete? Or incomplete? Perhaps it's just a chart of a chord progression, indicating only the key signature, tempo, or perhaps including a small sample of the central melody?

The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s, musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig, night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed, without any regard to copyright law, or royalties paid to the composers who created these musical masterpieces.Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won't even notice the difference, other than all the notorious errors being fixed: the covers and typeface look the same, the song list is nearly identical, and the price for our edition is even cheaper than the original! Every conscientious musician will appreciate that these books are now produced accurately and ethically, benefiting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest tunes of all time! Includes 400 songs: All Blues, Au Privave, Autumn Leaves, Black Orpheus, Bluesette, Body and Soul, Bright Size Life, Con Alma, Dolphin Dance, Don't Get Around Much Anymore, Easy Living, Epistrophy, Falling in Love with Love, Footprints, Four on Six, Giant Steps, Have You Met Miss Jones?, How High the Moon, I'll Remember April, Impressions, Lullaby of Birdland, Misty, My Funny Valentine, Oleo, Red Clay, Satin Doll, Sidewinder, Stella by Starlight, Take Five, There Is No Greater Love, Wave, and hundreds more!
