Double Bass Scott Lafaro Transcriptions by Adrian Laird

[Muck Luto]

Hi everyone,

Years ago, in 2013, a basschat user named Adrian Laird was kind enough to share his transcriptions of Scott Lafaro.
Here is the original post : Scott LaFaro Transcriptions
He had transcribed everything from the Vanguard recordings and three other tunes (Nardis, Crows Nest and the solo on Sposin)

At that time i saved them on my computer and kept them, since.
I thought you people could be interested by his work :

Thank you very much. Will put on some of his stuff later and follow along (and maybe even attempt some myself)
