    What is this (latin) style in 3?

    I've been trying so hard to find the music that has this particular sort of bass line, rhythmically speaking. I've heard it a few times throughout my life, but never knew what it's called, or what song it's in, or what keywords to use to find it otherwise! Heard it in a song played by Las...

    ii-V Vamp Songs

    Recently I've started giving lessons to someone and today we went over a ii-V progression using Santana's "Oye Como Va". This was supposed to be an example of how a ii shares the same function as a IV chord. I was able to get the idea of the progression across and I think he picked up on it. I...

    Double Bass Would it be useful to have a Latin technique sub-forum?

    Rafael Paseiro -"Ya No hace Falta" Complete Bass TRANSCRIPTION

    The title track from Bamboleo’s 1999 album Ya no hace falta featuring the great Rafael Paseiro of course. When I transcribed it 8 years ago, I had no idea this was the radio version. Hindsight 20/20.

    Hey everyone! I put up a new transcription video this week, once again featuring John Benitez. It's actually from the same album as the one last week, this time with John on electric as opposed to baby bass. Tons of great stuff in this bassline! Hope you enjoy it. As always, stay safe out there.

    Pedro Aznar. Most underrated bass player ever (or one of the most)

    This is quite an ancient topic among latin american musicians, such a talented player, almost (almost?) a bass god who almost didn't get any credit as such. Yes he had -still has - a successful career (played with Pat Metheny for almost 8 years), but still I fell like he deserves a lotmore...
