Transcriptions

Although there are a number of transcriptions here it must be stressed that the process of transcription is an extremely valuable aid to the learning process. If you don't already do this yourself you are are strongly advised to do your own transcriptions rather than rely on those provided here. If you don't have any manuscript paper use the links on the left to download and print some off.

The idea of this section is to provide a resource for not only introducing people to some great Double Bass work but also to provide an analysis of each of these great works.
