Bass Transcriptions

Bass transcriptions, plus a few other neat things. I use Finale notation software and Transcribe!

If you would like to hire me to do a transcription, please get in touch. All charts are in their original key. I’d also be happy to email you a transposition of any chart as needed for $5 USD. If my transcriptions have been helpful to you, I would also greatly appreciate any gratuity you can offer. Payment options are available here and are listed at the end of each PDF. Otherwise I plan to keep this page 100% free.

This is an ongoing process where I am finally organizing the dozens of transcriptions I’ve made for my own use over the past years. It is default sorted with most recent work on top. You can sort by song title, artist, etc. like in any spreadsheet, or use the search bar. Older charts will surely have oddities & mistakes, which I’ll endeavor to correct… just let me know!
