Double Bass Method for double bass in tango

[Michal Herman]

Hi,
I am playing in the community orchestra that repertoire is focused on Argentinian tangos. I would like to improve my technique for this particular style.
I am looking for a book/method that will not only explain techniques but also provide set of exercises to practice in the long run.
I have found "The Bass in Tango" by Ignacio Varchausky. Anyone used this one?
Also, are there any other resources available?

Hi Michal, I play tango and I am from argentina. the Varchausky book ( i have it) is relatively new but its "the bible", "the method" of Tango Contrabass. It is great and comprehensive and full of clear examples.
Check out also this youtube video of Juan Pablo Navarro (another great tango bassist and educator) which leads you to a video masterclass.
