Yeah, but standard guitar tuning is EADGBE and the most common dropped tuning (as I recall) would be GADGBE.  Neither of which is similar to EGDBF.

EGDBF is a handy mnemonic for remembering the notes on the lines of the treble clef.  The spaces are FACE.


Would that be EGBDF? Or have I been saying the alphabet wrong for the past 32 years?

Edited to poke at August West and say that hopefully, Alex won't ask you any questions too much harder than singing the alphabet song... :twisted:

I must admit to not knowing what "split on green" means.

And I was always taught it was either:

Every Good Boy Deserves Fun
or
Every Good Boy Does Fine

And for the bass clef (GBDFA), my old piano teacher, Jules Cavalier, made one up so the girls wouldn't be left out:

Girls Buy Dolls For Amusement.

Yeah.

And I don't remember anything for the bass clef white spaces (ACEG) - I always just thought "Ace G" which was kind of a proto-hip-hop lingo from my childhood (before there was a thing called "hip-hop".

Ah, you're right.  All Cows Eat Grass.

Excuse my forgetfulness.

I later became a guitar player, anyway, which meant that the bass clef had little to offer me.

We always "D-tuned" our gee-tars, making the low E a D.  Made for easy bar chords and allowed one to play Soundgarden and Helmet songs.

Although my favourite Soundgarden track (to play at any rate) is in CGCGGE. Which is fun.
I tend to have my guitar tuned down 3 steps, in C, which just sounds fantastic really loud through a good amp. Gives for the finest ludicrously bassy playing.

It was always every good boy deserves favour when I was taught it.
I always hated them, they're all so fuck*ng twee.
