Sausage Link,

The singing vocal ranges are numbered like this:

Soprano: C4 – C6
Mezzo-soprano: A3 – A5
Contralto: F3 – F5
Tenor: C3 – C5
Baritone: G2 – G4
Bass / Basso: E2 – E4

The numbers refer to the pitch of the corresponding piano key. The letter name is the pitch of the scale. The number name is the the C scale. On an 88 key piano, the low keys from low A to C are called zero. They would be A0 Bb0 and B0. From the first full octave, C1 goes from C1 to C2, in other words from the first C to the second C. There are seven C scales on the 88 key piano. So the piano goes from A0 to C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7 and ending with C8,

A3 to D5 would put Brad Paisley's song in a nice high tenor.

I hope that helps.

Maurer, welcome to JPF. The guitar is written an octave higher than it sounds. That's so it can all fit on the treble scale. Our lowest note is open E, the space below three ledger lines below the E line on the treble clef. It sounds as the E line the first ledger line below the bass clef.



You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
