Hot Tub Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've been making a serious effort to learn to read music, and after a painfully slow start, am actually making some decent and - to me at least - impressive progress. So recently I've been wondering if there are any on-line sheet music resources? Bass tabs are ten-a-penny, but what I'd really like is pdf's of the bass lines which I can already play, so I can study them a bit more and probably correct all my mistakes! I know we can buy songbooks, but in many cases I don't want a band's entire back catalogue, or the latest album; I just want one or two songs. So, does anyone know of such a thing?

velvetkevorkian Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 [url="http://imslp.org/"]Here's[/url] a fab classical one- don't know of any "modern" ones, but the reason that the classical one is available is because the copyright on the editions has lapsed into the public domain, so I doubt it would be feasible to do such a thing for a few more years.

TKenrick Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 www.sheetmusicdirect.com seems to have quite a few songs available to download, although i couldn't get the preview to work so I don't know if you get notation as well as tab on the sheet music, but I guess you would. If you'll excuse the self promotion, I have a few transcriptions available for free on my blog page (the link is in my sig). Not exactly thousands, but there should be some there that'll offer some reading practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
