Roxy Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Hi everyone- I’m looking for parts for the old standards- the usual sets played by small bands in pubs. Has anyone got a library /pad they could copy/ send me for educational purposes please ( happy to pay a reasonable fee). Or recommendations for a good fake book with accurate / interesting lines. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Are you after the actual transcriptions of the parts, or the chord charts/Real Books etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, the transcriptions to study the authentic feel of the original versions ( or a tasteful cover version). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakester Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) Ah, sorry, can't help, though BC's own @Bilbo has a pretty huge archive of transcriptions here which might be worth a look: Edited September 1, 2022 by Jakester 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers It’s usual to only have chord charts as the bass player will usually improvise their own walking bass line. There are books out there that have Jazz bass line transcriptions at the end of them like The Improviser’s Bass Method by Chuck Sher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxy Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hi, thanks for replying. Yes, the band use chord charts. I can walk to a good standard off the charts, but I’ve always been a stronger reader and a weak busker and I’m getting bored with my lines! I’ve found the Ed Friedland walking books helpful , as well as the talking bass YouTube stuff. I’ve just bought the Paul Chambers walking in the footsteps of sample transcriptions. I’ m being a bit lazy as I don’t have the time to spend many hours listening and absorbing the styles of the greats, and some transcriptions of at least some of the standards would be great.
