My StudyBass
Songbook Recommendations
Throughout the StudyBass lessons, I reference songs that are transcribed in these books. Here's an example in case you're not familiar with the StudyBass approach. If you're working through the lessons, you should definitely pick up a few of these so you can practice some of the songs and get the most out of the lessons.
