"8 Octave"

When there is an "8" under the "G" cleff (Op.60, NO.1)in this guitar music,do you still play at the first fret?

Hi Max,

Sometimes they use a treble clef to read one octave below the normal written pitch because some people find it difficult reading the bass clef. The "8" at the bottom of the treble clef therefore means that the notes should sound one octave lower than they are written.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
