notes

A time signature tells you how the music is to be counted. the time signature is written at the beginning of the staff after the clef and key signature.
The top number of the time signature tells you how many beats to count.
The bottom number tells you what kind of note to count. That is whether to count the beats as quarter notes, eighth notes, or sixteenth notes.

notes indicates the length (number of counts) of musical sound.

	Whole notes last four beats.
	Half notes last two beats.
	Quarter notes last one beat.
Any note shorter than a quarter note has one or more "hooks" to indicate its length. Each hook cuts the note's length in half.
	Eighth notes (one hook) last one-half beat.
	Sixteenth notes (two hooks) last one-quarter beat.
These proceed on to thirty-second and sixty-fourth notes (with three and four hooks, respectively). If two or more notes requiring hooks appear in a row, they're often connected with "beams." The number of horizontal lines in a beam gives note length.
	Two eighth notes connected by a beam
Music also has rests, which indicate silent beats. Music rests are counted in the same way as music notes, and correspond to the notes they represent. Rest often requires that you stop the sound of your guitar strings. This process is called dampening the strings.
	Whole note rest last four beats
	Half note rest last two beats
	Quarter note rest last one beat
	Eighth note rest last one-half beat
	Sixteenth note rest last one-quarter beat

Music is written in notes on a staff. The staff has five lines and four spaces between the lines. at the beginning of the staff is a clef sign. Guitar is written in the treble clef.

 Each line and space of the staff has a letter name. The lines are, (from bottom to top) E-G-B-D-F, which you can remember as Every Good Boys Does Fine. The spaces are, (from bottom to top) F-A-C-E, which spells "FACE."

If we need more notes above or below the staff we add Ledger Lines, which extend the range of the staff. (Middle C is the first ledger line below the staff in Treble Clef.)

	G clef (Treble Clef) The centre of the spiral defines the line or space upon which it rests as the pitch G above middle C. Positioned here, it assigns G above middle C to the second line from the bottom of the staff, and is referred to as the "treble clef." This is the most commonly encountered clef in modern notation, and is used for most modern vocal music. Middle-C is the 1st ledger line below the stave here. The shape of the clef comes from a stylised upper-case-G.
	F clef (Bass Clef) The line or space between the dots in this clef denotes F below middle C. Positioned here, it makes the second line from the top of the staff F below middle C, and is called a "bass clef." This clef appears nearly as often as the treble clef, especially in choral music, where it represents the bass and baritone voices. Middle C is the 1st ledger line above the stave here. The shape of the clef comes from a stylised upper-case-F (which used to be written the reverse of the modern F)
