Online sheet music

Any suggestions for accessing individual bass scores online? My particular interest is Motown and Northern Soul. Thanks.

The book "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" will give you a huge chunk of Motown scores.

Northern is a bit more of a challenge.

Yup, got that one, and yes it's great. Managed to unravel How Sweet It Is with that book. I really want a source where I can download individual music and print off. Don't mind paying.

My wife used to be a singing teacher so I asked her for some pointers.  She suggested

 

https://www.musicnotes.com/

https://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/

 

When you use the word "scores" it sounds like you mean notes rather than tab, or am I making an incorrect leap there?

[graham1945]

Thanks for that neepheid, sheetmusicdirect looks like the one I want.

Check this site out, it’s a fantastic resource for Soul, Motown and Atlantic bass transcriptions.

Down in the theory section you might find parts/scores of interest.

Thanks all above!

Musescore has quite a lot of stuff in its forum, but it seems to have varying quality in its offer. Standing in the shadows... has been one of the best books lately, but you knew that already.

[graham1945]

Thanks Itu, hope you're well - and busy.

Tom Read has a whole library of quality bass transcriptions, some Motown tunes among them. They've been accurate enough for me to gig them with no rehearsal so really recommend them
