When discussing musical notes without tab or notation is there a way to differentiate between the treble lower first line E and the upper last space E? Each has a long description so is there a way to say it without describing it?
Thank you;
Sherman |

The note is followed by a number denoting the octave. C4 to B4 is the octave from "middle" C to B in the centre of the treble clef, and higher octaves are denoted by higher numbers, lower octaves by lower numbers.
So I think the low E is E3 and the high E E4.
I think.
cheers,
Drew

| The older way is to use E, for the low string on a bass, E for the low string on a guitar, e for the next one, e' for the high string on a guitar, and e" for the high string on a fiddle. (It can be confusing that guitar is written an octave higher than it sounds.) The octaves break between b and c so CDEFGABcdefgabc'd'e'f'g'a'b'c"d" and so on. Standard guitar tuning is EAdgbe'. |
