IeuanRees Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem finding sheet music. I'm pretty new to the world of bass although I have played a lot of classical up to now, I would like to venture into something more new or even a bit of blues. My problem is that I really don't know where to look, I've tried my local music store and they only stock classical, and when I try searching online I never seem to get anywhere. If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be a massive help, or if you could link me. Preferably free music and of a relatively simple level. Cheers, Ieuan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You're correct, there isn't much around. This might help a little. I haven't used these sites, so I can't recommend them through experience, but they are among my bookmarks, which means I must have made a search at some point in the past, and come up with them [url="http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/instruments/bass-guitar/46"]http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/instruments/bass-guitar/46[/url] [url="http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement11"]http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement11[/url] [url="http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement28"]http://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/Browse/Arrangement.aspx?category_id=store1_arrangement28[/url] [url="http://www.sheetmusicscore.com/browse/digital-downloads.phtml?Format=BTAB"]http://www.sheetmusicscore.com/browse/digital-downloads.phtml?Format=BTAB[/url] I can't see the plugin images on this PC, so I'm not sure whether the sheets are tab-only (horror!!) or notation and tab. Hopefully the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
