Could you add them to this thread plz? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Rich and Stevie - Thank you so much for posting the files. I'm re-booting my bass playing after a nearly 10 year hiatus and found Major's Boot Camp to be an invaluable resource. I was downloading the files only as I used them and was dismayed to find them gone yesterday when I logged on to download the next set of lessons. Thanks again - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Houghton Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi This may be a really dumb question but I have been looking through these and there is lots of great information but I cant see any actual music notation any where, am I missing something? Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It's in the PDFs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmig Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Likewise I see no notation at all in first set of PDFs posted. Don't think it's a problem with my viewer. Could anyone please verify that there's sheet music in the PDFs on page one? Would much appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 When you click on the name of the PDF file, a box should popup asking you whether you want to open or save the file. Your PDF viewer should then do the rest when you click in the box. They're there - I've just checked. Try the Foxit reader, available from here: <https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-reader/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmig Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 No luck with various readers...very strange. If and when I figure out what's up I'll post something here. Am on linux and have tried out the chrome renderer / foxit / whatever reader was already installed on the laptop..no joy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmig Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Used a couple of cmdline utils to extract all images from The Major's Bass Boot Camp text for Sessions 1 to 14e.pdf etc...also asked a friend with a windows machine to open the files..nada!

stevie Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 The files on page 1 with "text" in the file name are descriptive. The files with "score" in them contain the notation. These open with a regular PDF viewer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I still don't see how I can get the notation. I'm on a Mac so might explain it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Must be a Mac thing. They open ok on a PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.I. Joe Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thanks Rich and Stevie for keeping and re-uploading this fabulous resource. I must admit, I too was puzzled by the lack of notation in the pdfs before taking a second look at the post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Wow, thanks @Rich and @stevie for reproducing a great resource! Hope I'm not being daft, but it looks like 28a 28b 28c score pdfs are missing from Stevie's post above...?

stevie Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 You're right, Ricky. I've just checked my hard disk and I don't have them. I'll check my laptop later today, but I think they might be lost for all time - unless someone else has saved them. The Major hasn't posted on here for years. I often wonder what happened to him. Retired maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 I definitely don't have them, alas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 That's a shame. It's such a great body of work. A pity it's not complete, but there's still plenty to be getting on with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pity it's not complete, but there's still plenty to be getting on with. Perhaps somebody good enough might write out the 3 missing scores from listening to the mp3s one day? Isn't that a common exersize with music students? Who knows, when I reach lesson 28, even I might be able to do it! Or come back to it... (I imagine there's some kind of score writing software out there, like an Office Suite for music?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 I thought it would be worth bumping this to the top, as there are probably a lot of newer members who have not seen this brilliant resource and would possibly benefit from it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
