Transcriptions for bass (notations / tablatures)

[Sté]

Good evening, 

 

I would like to share with you all some bass transcriptions; my main work to grow and improve on my musical path. 

I focus more on melodies, themes, solos, than bass parts. No plan: i work on pieces (or parts of pieces) than touch me and makes me vibrate.

I transcribe for 4 strings bass: there will be some compromise on certains notes. (no low D 😁)

 

Let's start with Jean -Philippe RAMEAU : La danse du grand calumet de la paix 

 

 

My transciption is based on several versions. This one is just an example, a nice version. 

It's downloadable in pdf, or Musescore format. You can also play it freely directly on Musescore website.

Edit: i add pdf direct link for those interested as i had a feedback about mandatory registration on musescore website to be able to download it from my below link.

Enjoy !

Good afternoon, 

 

About this next one, i'm working on it since more than two years. I've started by the first video below version, which ignited this work. Then after listening a zillion version, decided to transcribe also one octave under the first one. 

Each version has her proper interest: the "treble" side contains challenging fingering on the top of the neck. And the "lower" side is a good exercise to work on non-fretted notes; imposing to work and find hand positions for mutting between fretted note and non-fretted notes. 

 

 

And this awesome other one:

 

 

It's really a pleasure to work, as a musical meditation.
