graham1945 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Any suggestions for accessing individual bass scores online? My particular interest is Motown and Northern Soul. Thanks. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham1945 Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 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?

itu Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
