Four printable tools that pair with the free lessons — print them, stick them on the wall, and keep them on the music stand. Pop your email below and all four land in your inbox (and appear right here). Further down: the handouts that come free with Pete's written lessons. After blank paper instead — bass tab, stave-and-tab, manuscript or neck diagrams? That's on the free tools shelf, no email needed.
