On-line Sheet Music Resource

[Hot Tub]

I've been making a serious effort to learn to read music, and after a painfully slow start, am actually making some decent and - to me at least - impressive progress. So recently I've been wondering if there are any on-line sheet music resources?

Bass tabs are ten-a-penny, but what I'd really like is pdf's of the bass lines which I can already play, so I can study them a bit more and probably correct all my mistakes! I know we can buy songbooks, but in many cases I don't want a band's entire back catalogue, or the latest album; I just want one or two songs.

So, does anyone know of such a thing?

[url="http://imslp.org/"]Here's[/url] a fab classical one- don't know of any "modern" ones, but the reason that the classical one is available is because the copyright on the editions has lapsed into the public domain, so I doubt it would be feasible to do such a thing for a few more years.

www.sheetmusicdirect.com seems to have quite a few songs available to download, although i couldn't get the preview to work so I don't know if you get notation as well as tab on the sheet music, but I guess you would.

If you'll excuse the self promotion, I have a few transcriptions available for free on my blog page (the link is in my sig). Not exactly thousands, but there should be some there that'll offer some reading practice.

Here's a transcriptions site I found the other day. Go straight to Transcriptions and then to the Bass page for lots of good stuff.
