"Best" latin bass book

[jzucker]

Looked at the Sher book and listened to some tracks. Good playing but not exactly traditional latin bass playing.

What's a good book that has all the standard latin bass lines transcribed?

if you're talking about "the latin bass book" by chuck sher and oscar stagnaro, then unfortunately i can't help you. This book is an outstanding and hugely comprehensive reference for latin basslines..

The one you mentioned is excellent.
Also, check out:

Afro-Cuban Bass Grooves (also has matching keyboard book):

And, The True Cuban Bass, also available from Sher Music.

It's on order. What else is out there?

"The True Cuban Bass Book" by Chuck Sher Publishing is a wonderful resource. Since working through this book I've received loads of compliments on my playing in latin music situations.

Just received "The Latin Bass" book from Sher Publishing.

Fantastic book. Highly recommended.
