Some Charts/Transcriptions
One of the best ways I’ve discovered to teach myself the bass is to transcribe the great work of other bass players or to write charts from original chord changes. What follows are pdfs of some of my attempts.
PLEASE NOTE: these arrangements/transcriptions were undertaken as a learning exercise and are FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY. All rights remain with the original composer(s), and any transcription will be removed immediately if any composer contacts me with a concern.
Comments/suggestions/corrections also welcomed.
