skej21 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Is it wrong that this video annoys me because he draws his clef the wrong way. It's called an 'F' clef because the starting point from where you draw the clef is on the 'F' line AND because it looks like an 'F'... but more importantly because it starts on the 'F' line! Same goes for the treble clef starting on the 'G'. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. P.s. I imagine Doddy would agree Edited November 17, 2011 by skej21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think he means that when the little tractor draws the clef it does it from the bottom up and finishes on the F line rather than starting it.

OliverBlackman Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I heard this is how Jaco Pastorius learnt bass! And the bass clef is definately ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It might look the same, but encouraging people to start drawing their clef on the 'A' space and then curling up to the 'F' is just wrong. It looks scruffy (just like FFs) and takes away the importance of the clef starting on the 'F' line. If drawn correctly, it should start with a dot on the 'F' line before moving left, up and over that dot and curling down towards the 'A' space.

skej21 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 No doubt a conversation will be had between the cow and Farmer Fred about how it is musically and contextually relevant to discuss how the majority of his bovine brethren get their sustenance from grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
