Free transcriptions

Below are two full books and a bunch of basslines and solos that I have transcribed. The transcriptions are organized in alphabetical order by song title, not artist name. They’re free for study and performance but do credit me where relevant and if you get use out of them please consider giving a little to a charity of your choice.

Transcription service

I also offer a bespoke transcription service so if you need something writing out or transcribing at short notice get in touch and we can discuss your requirements
