All Musicians should have some knowledge of the Bass Clef. Not only will you then be able to write out parts for Bass Guitar and Keyboards, but you will also be able to follow a piano score that you may have to play along with. One of the best reasons for learning the Bass Clef notes, is that you will come across sheet music that contains incorrect guitar chords. One of the reasons for this is that most sheet music is written by Keyboard players who have no idea about guitar chords or guitar chord voicings. You can easily work out what these chords are if you know the notes in the Bass Clef. By analysing the notes in the bass and treble parts you can usually work out what the correct chords should be.
The Bass Clef is also known as the F Clef, which is indicated by the dots on either side of the F line in the bass stave. Before we go any further, there is a little bit of history that you should know, which helps to explain why we have a Treble and a Bass Clef at all. In earlier times there was a staff of Eleven lines called the Great Staff. Which is similar to the two staves used for the piano, but with an extra line in between, indicated in red in our diagram.
Trying to read music on such a large stave obviously was difficult, so to make life easier the Great Stave was split in two. The top half being the treble part and the bottom half being the bass part. The middle line, which contained the C note was left out, hence the term Middle C , being the link between the two clefs. The diagrams below show a comparison of the guitar notation in Treble Clef and the Bass Clef notes. Keep in mind that guitar notation is always written one octave higher than it actually sounds.Finally, it is not possible to learn how to play music without knowing a couple of things about sheet music. That does not necessarily mean playing music from staff lines fluently, but you should be able to decode what you find on a paper with some staff lines.

Imagine, you want to play a song, that you nearly know. You know, how it should sound, but what you are playing doesn't exactly sound like the piece, you want to play. But you actually don't exactly know why. In this case, the sheet music, you have received or found somewhere can help you to find out what is wrong. Or you haven't played a piece in a long time and you don't remeber it exactly. In this case, sheet music can help you, too.... if... you know how to decode what you find on the staff lines.
Sure, there is also something like the tabulature notation of music, but the information in a pure tab line is pretty limited... in many cases, not even the rythm is described exactly. In many cases, tabulature comes in a combination with the normal staff line notation. The staff line notation cannot fully describe the music, the exact expression cannot be written down, but it is possible to indicate, which notes are emphasized, a decreasing or increasing volume, up and down picks, apreggio etc. pp. and it is sure possible to write down the pitch and duration of a tone.
This is what we want to discuss first. The staff line consists of 5 lines and the dots on it are usually no fly shit, but represent the notes. The higher the dot on that ladder, the higher the pitch of that note. Which note it is also depends on squiggle at the very left of the staff line - a staff line is read from left to right, of course. That is called a clef. There are two most common clefs. That is the treble clef and the bass clef. There are sure some other clefs like the alto clef and the tenor clef, but we usually never see those clefs, so I will not talk about them here.

Here you see the treble and the bass clef on a staff line and the pitches that result from the clef. To learn to recognize the pitch on a staff line reqires to remeber one or more reference points on them.
The reference point for the treble clef is the middle line. This marks the B. It is also useful to remeber the notes one leger line below and above the staff line. The first represents a C the latter the A. When you are advancing in reading music, you will have more than those few reference points, of course, but in the beginning, it can help you to start your counting up or down from that reference points.
The reference point of the bass clef is the F, it is the line between the two dots of that clef. Actually, m you can also pick the D, because it is the middle line. My personal preference is the F, though.

The two types of staff lines sure have a certain relation to each other. The treble clef marks a staff line with notes that are higher than the bass clef line (kinda logic, right?). The pivot is the C, that is one leger line above the bass clef line and one leger line below the bass clef line. This is the same pitch.
To note the flats and sharps, some more symbols are required. That are the so called acciedentals. A b will transform a not into it's flat note, a # will transform a note into it's sharp note.
The accidental is noted before the dot (note) it belongs to. The natural will neutralize the accidentals that would normaly be valid in that piece or bar. Usually the accidentals that are noted at the beginning of the piece are valid for the whole piece. The accidentals that are noted in front of a note are valid only for one bar. So if a B is played after a Bb (B flat) a natural is required to express that it is a B. In the key of F major, the b of the Bb is noted at the beginning of the piece. So if you want to play a B in a piece that is written in F major, there is also a natural required.

There are also two less often occuring accidentals. That's the double b and the double #. It is used, in case the notation requires it. Imagine that the 9th of a chord is already a Bb and the chord, that should be written down should be a b9 chord. Then the double b is a suitable way to express that. Imagine the 11th of a chord is already a F# and the chord that has to be noted is a #11 chord. Then the double sharp is useful.
The accidentals that are noted at the beginning of a piece and don't belong together with a certain note that is noted directly behind them, are valid for the whole piece. The accidentals that are noted somewhere in a bar and belong together with a certain note, are valid for only that bar. They will influence every note on the same line right of them. After the the line that limits the bar, they will lose their validity.
This is the next important thing that can be noted on a staff line. Acually, a note usually has a pitch and a duration. Even the sheet music written for drums have a picthm but in this case, the pitch represents the instrumaent like cymbal or snare durm, bass drum etc.

The duration of the notes is meassured in beats. What might be a bit confusing is that fact, that a quarter note is one beat long, so a whole note is four beats long. The rest is pretty logic. The half note is two beats long, the eighth note is a half beat long etc.
The basic note durations are noted in the left column of the picture/table above. Note durations like a 1/32 and a 1/64 don't occure very often in guitar music, but you should keep in mind, that there is something like that.
The notes sure can have durations like a quarter plus an eighths etc. This is shown in the middle column. A little dot behind the actual note means that the duration is increased a half of the duration of that actual note. So a quarter with a dot has the duration of a quarter and an eighth together. A dotted eights has the duration of an eighth plus a sixteenth etc. In the top od that column, you will find a half note with two dots. Two dots mean, that the duration of 3/4 od the original duration is added. This doesn't occure very often.

Now we know the even note durations, that are built from 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc... but there are also some odd
