tomread Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago The updates are coming thick and fast at the moment. This is the third in the last three weeks - and it's a big one with no less than 48 charts uploaded to the site, including 29 brand new ones, taking the site total to 1640. https://tomreadbass.co.uk That's 1,640 accurate bass transcriptions, written by experienced bassist and arranger Tom Read, and every single one of them completely free for you to download, print-off, add to your iPad and use for your own personal gigs or study. No sign-up, no registration, no limit. Just go and help yourself! Lots more Elvis Presley charts in there! In nearly 40 years of gigging, I'd done hardly any Elvis shows, but in 2025 I've worked on three of them! The charts on my site are NOT the ones used in any of those shows, but my own transcriptions from the original recordings - that's my first step in my personal gig preparation before I then go on to customise them for the specific show arrangements. But that first step, I share that work on my website. Anyway, here's the direct links for the newly added or updated Elvis charts: '68 Comeback Special Medley https://www.tomreadbass.co.uk/_files/ugd/238d8f_84e261d203184394806012860496f6f1.pdf 2001 into C.C.
