Free Bass Transcriptions

Bass players - here is your Christmas present from http://tomreadbass.co.uk **CHRISTMAS TUNES AT THE END OF THE POST**

Over 100 charts added to the website today, taking the resource to a total of 1313 accurate bass transcriptions. And they remain completely FREE for you to help yourself. No sign-up or registration required, and no limit to how many you can access. Furthermore, thanks to the "Buy Me A Beer" donations from site users, the main transcription resource will continue to be free.

Some of the newly-added charts are improved versions of previous ones, but most are brand new charts. I have written some of these as preparation for my own gigs, some as part of arrangements I have done for cruise ship bands, and the others were bespoke orders from online customers. They all opted to share their finished chart on the website, which meant they got the half-price deal.

Here's the highlights from the new charts added:

I have some already finished but I don't want to overwhelm you so I'll post them little by little. today another from LYLE LOVETT: I'll come knocking. a slow and beautiful ballad easy to read. another one which you can see how delicate can Lee play.

the last one of the songs from Linda Ronstadt. this is a good tune to practice the middle register of the instrument. please notice the fifths that Lee plays because sometimes it makes the illusion that he is playing a 5 string bass.

In this video Leland plays a song he already played three years ago: Rita Coolidge's RUNNING ON EMPTY. in this ocasion he plays a totally diferent line. if you look in the archives and compare the two versions you'll see what I mean. nevertheless, the spirit of the song is kept perfectly and he places his fills almost in the same exact spots. is one of those few times when two diferent bass line fit perfectly in the same song and doesn't change it.

Another Jacson Browne's song: THE FUSE. This transcription is a little long but plenty of interesting things in there. you can see as Lee plays 5ths altogether and he kind of gets the sound of a 5 string bass. there is a phrase that sounds as he was playing a fretless thanks to the slides he uses. and plenty of fills worth studying.

I wonder if it wouldn't be more polite to start your own thread? Rather than using Tom's for your transcriptions?
