What is the bass clef key signature?

Well, if you are asking about key signature, it depends on the key. As in the treble clef, the key of G, for instance, would have one sharp; however the sharp would be on the fourth line because that is where the F is.

If you are asking about the clef, the bass clef (also called the F clef) is essentially a blob of ink on the F line surrounded by a spiral, with two dots (:) to the right, and on either side of the F line. You can see it by going to wikipedia.org and typing "clef" in the search box.

What are the notes in a G minor scale?

Minor scales are a little weird, because they actually come in three flavors: natural minor, melodic minor, and harmonic minor. Melodic minor is particularly weird because the notes are different if you're going up the scale than if you're going down the scale! In all cases, the first five notes are the same, it's only the last two where things get weird. For the natural minor, the notes of G minor are: G-A-Bb-C-D-Eb-F-G. For melodic minor, if you're going up the scale, it's: G-A-Bb-C-D-E-F#-G, but going down the scale, it's the same as natural minor. Harmonic minor is probably the least used, and I don't remember the exact rules. I think it might be G-A-Bb-C-D-Eb-F#-G. The key signature for a minor key, though, will be that of the natural minor. So G minor will have two flats.

What are the notes for a major scale?

Where are the half steps in a major scale?
