there's one of those catchy sayings...if you take the letter from every line starting from the bottom, it spells GBDFA. the saying that corresponds is Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always. (the only problem with this is, there's a *very* similar saying for treble clef used the same way, so if you know both sayings, it gets confusing.)

0ther than that, it's just studying and practice. good ole wiki may help too. - they actually have more sayings and stuff to help you remember.
