Question
Can you recomend any free websites where I can find reliable, mistake-free guitar & Bass tablatures and chord charts for Blues and Jazz standards? Most standard sites list only current popular artists or songs. Any answers are most appreciated. Thanks much.


Answer
Hi Joe!
Please try www.e-chords.com, the basic service is free. It has Blues and Jazz. As an example, I found Take Five, Dave Brubeck; I found Albert King, Born Under A Bad Sign. When you get to the site, scroll down a bit to enter your request by artist or song. Also try www.fretplay.com, click on guitar tabs or bass tabs. If you cannot find a particular number, ask, I may be able to find it. By the way, I play by ear and I transcribe songs best that way. You may want to consider trying that. Thank you for the question! Regards, George Armstrong
