Free Bass Transcriptions


tomread

Recommended Posts

Heard this on my local station Canalside Radio recently - took me back - and I thought "What a great bassline"! Had to transcribe it for the website!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19qSiJzwdAk

This morning I did - here is the chart, which is the latest of the 826 freely available on http://tomreadbass.co.uk

https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/…

Enjoy!

(And please join my new bass transcriptions Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/229252968397102/?ref=bookmarks if you haven't done so already).

Hi bass players!
 
Here's another new batch of FREE bass transcriptions added today to http://tomreadbass.co.uk
 
For the very first time (I think!), there's an entire album gone on - all 15 tracks from Joe Satriani's "Shockwave Supernova" album. This is thanks to a customer who ordered all 15 charts to be written, but opted for the half-price option - which meant the completed transcriptions get added to the website for everyone else to access for free!
 
Also new on the site are some classic basslines from Four Tops and Peter Frampton, taking the total to 845 - still the biggest FREE bass transcription site in the World!
 
Please help yourselves to the charts - no log-in necessary - and feel free to share!

Got some new bass transcriptions for you on the website http://tomreadbass.co.uk

Newly added today are: Tell Me A Bedtime Story - Herbie Hancock, featuring the virtuouso upright bass playing of Buster Williams. This has been charted in full, with all the variations of each repeat.

Shake - Ian Moss. The Australian rock-blues musician's take on the Sam Cooke song.

Double Shot Of My Baby's Love - Swingin' Medallions. The only chart success for the 60s South Carolina band. Jimmy Perkins on bass.

3rd Stone - Gary Gould. Another original bass-featured composition from the US bassist, in a fusion jazz-rock style.

All of these have resulted from customers ordering transcriptions and opting for the half-price option, which means their finished chart gets added to the site for everyone else to access for free. The site now has 848 free bass transcriptions and remains the biggest free online resource in the world - to my knowledge anyway!

The site grows every time I have to learn new songs for a gig, or when a customer orders a transcription and agrees for it to go on the site. There's not exactly any gigs right now, so the site grows just from the incoming transcription requests.

It has become a annual tradition for me to add a bass transcription of a Christmas song on Christmas Day. Wonder what it will be this year? Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,

A couple more transcriptions before I head off to sea on a cruise ship gig.

Over My Shoulder - Mike & The Mechanics - https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-973...d/238d8f_479cfbf8063d4b83b3ee633eab7cad2c.pdf

I have installed the Musescore software on a tablet, so should still be able to create bass transcriptions while I'm away.

Here’s the bass transcriptions I’ve added to the site since starting my cruise gig on Spirit of Adventure:

Heartache Tonight (Michael Buble) - https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_015f7aa1d04144fa92f8f3c6df71e005.pdf 

Kashmir (Led Zeppelin) - https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_75820ff748104e439df4b1bd6051010b.pdf 

The Road And The Sky (Jackson Browne) - https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_2581bc68d75e4616a2f467c5d85c22cb.pdf 

Never Can Say Goodbye (Gloria Gaynor) - https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_b0383dad30ce4da3a2654682e3922a13.pdf 

As usual these, like all the 874 bass transcriptions (in standard notation) on the site are provided completely free and open - no account or log on required.  Just help yourself to the PDFs, as many as you like.

A massive thanks to those who have kindly clicked on the “Buy Me A Beer” button.  This supports the continued running of the website - and indeed buys me a very welcome pint here and there!  There’s absolutely no obligation though; everyone is welcome to use the resource freely, and unlimited.

Currently enjoying the morning sunshine on Deck 13.  It’s another 4 set 6 hour marathon gig tonight!

4 sets? They are really hitting you hard. Only had 4 sets once when I was cruising. Depending on if its a sea day e.t.c 

 

Great work with the transcriptions mate 🙂

Four sets - those were the days.  We've had plenty of 5, 6 and 7 set days since then.  And 7 days a week - no day off!

 

In between, I'm still knocking out the charts for the site:

 

I have new bass transcriptions for you!
 
Two of these result from orders from http://tomreadbass.co.uk where the customer has agreed to share the finished chart freely via the website in return for a 50% reduction in the price paid. The other two have been transcribed for the band sets on the cruise ship gig I'm currently working on.
 
The "headline" of these is undoubtedly the transcription of the full 8+ minutes of virtuoso double bassist Esperanza Spalding's "Cuerpo y Alma". This is a complete transcription - no repeats, signs or coda - every note, every variation, main groove, improvisations and the bass solo! It took me rather a long time to complete it, working on it between band sets on the ship, so I hope many of you bass players find some entertainment and enjoyment with it!
 
https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_ab8644e1ed994742a3c8f5d19e86c315.pdf
 
Anyone remember when the four original members of Kiss brought out solo albums? I was surprised to be asked to transcribe a track from one of those - "Hooked On Rock 'N' Roll" by Peter Criss. This is a really good rock bassline recorded by Bill Bodine.
 
https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_6afbab65078a4c5ba740edb73b0e1e79.pdf
 
The next one is a track we're doing on board, and one I was unfamiliar with! A disco anthem from Donna Summer - "Last Dance" - and legendary US session bass player Bob Glaub's great part.
 
https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_12dda9f745ac45419ab38f0247abb8bb.pdf
 
Finally, the original John Paul Young version of "Love Is In The Air". I've no idea who the original bassist was on this!
 
https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_0298dd6eb4d94ec49285caef8bfbc754.pdf
 
(OK, quite an easy transcription that one, but plenty of work went into the other three!)
 
If there's any bass players out there still unaware of the world's biggest free library of bass transcriptions in standard notation, please share and let them know!
 
Have a great day!

A couple of new bass charts transcribed in the past few days, and uploaded to http://tomreadbass.co.uk just now as we sail westwards through the English Channel. This takes us to 880 on the site. Still the biggest, and still completely free.
 
Dancing Queen - Abba: I kept coming across bass parts for this that were nearly right but not quite right, and I found myself making the corrections "on the fly" while sight-reading on stage! Now I've said that, it's practically guaranteed that someone will find, and gleefully point out an error in my part ... oh well...!
 
 
Don't Know Why - Norah Jones: A very simple and easy bass part, but I was only given a chord chart for it, and wanted to get the feel spot on - hence the transcription!
 
 
Inevitably, more coming in due course from here on the MV Spirit of Adventure!

The eagerly (I hope) anticipated update of Tomreadbass Transcriptions. The big update I have been promising.

 

Too big actually, in that once I had completed my jobsheet of transcriptions and arrangements, adding them to the website then took me nearly another week!

 

So what's new? Well as usual, the additions have come about as a result of one of two things; either a customer has ordered a bass transcription and taken up the half-price deal (which means it gets shared on the website for everyone else's benefit), or I've written a bass part for myself (or a band arrangement) for a gig. Lots of orders have been fulfilled recently, and as I'm currently gigging full-time on a cruise ship (MV Spirit of Adventure), there's quite a lot resulting from that too!

 

OK, here goes - you'll see I've kept myself busy in my cabin!

Hope these are of use and enjoyment to my fellow bass players around the world. The transcriptions website remains absolutely free to use and no log-in required. Just download whatever charts you want as PDFs with my compliments! (And please share!)

 

Now over 900 bass transcriptions on the website! I am planning something special for the 1000th, which may well happen within the next 12 months. The next one will be added within the next week or two - it's been ordered by a customer and is a virtuoso upright bass part by the fantastic Christian McBride.

As usual, the new additions have resulted from either me transcribing my own charts for upcoming gigs, or customers to the site opting for the half-price deal and sharing the completed transcription with you all.

It has become a Christmas tradition here at http://tomreadbass.co.uk to transcribe a bassline from a classic Christmas tune and add it to the free library on the website.

 

This year, it is Greg Lake's 1975 anthem "I Believe In Father Christmas", an easy and simple bassline, but with the important nuances (like when it uses the 6th or the major 7th beneath the root) all charted out accurately.

 

https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_8d0bbb3a3ad84528ac10fb9fd5ab2f52.pdf

 

One other new addition - taking us to 932 FREE bass transcriptions (in standard notation) - is the funky bassline for "Walk The Dinosaur", a 1988 pop hit for the band Was Not Was.

 

https://05ee92f2-68dc-4cc0-94b6-9739e6e6eb5e.filesusr.com/ugd/238d8f_f7342180f91647fda6828694673595d4.pdf

Hi Tom, it must be me but, how do I download one of your notations from the pick list? 

 

I select a song, a box appears with key, artist, date but, then I'm stumped. 

 

I just know I'm gonna feel a complete idiot when I know how😄

It isn't a pick list - it's just a look-up table to see whether a track is available.

 

To access the charts, scroll to the bottom of the webpage and choose the first letter of the title.  It is all explained in the smallprint!
