Introduction
As the diverse cultures of the world have continued to blend together, the results have become very apparent in music. Though each ethnic style has distinct characteristics, contemporary musicians combine styles from many cultures as they develop a sound. Much of today's popular music is greatly influenced by Latin music. The general term "Latin music" is used to describe ethnic music which originated from Africa and developed stylistically in Cuba, the Caribbean, and the countries of South America. Each has a very specific bass feel. As a bass player, it is important to become familiar with these feels. Latin Bass gives you this opportunity. Learn the differences between a bossa nova, a mambo and a cha cha chaoFind out how to playa nanigo, and much more. Each style is examined and demonstrated. Get hands-on experience as you play along with the compact disc included in the book.

About This Book
In order to demonstrate a wide spectrum of Latin bass playing, this book covers ten styles. Each style includes a brief introduction, an example or two of the basic groove, and a play-along song. All songs feature a full band on the compact disc. The bass lines are notated just as they are played on the CD. There are two mixes (versions) of each song; the first includes the bass, and the second does not. After you learn the written bass part, you may choose to create your own lines. This is highly encouraged, as it will help in the learning process.
In addition, for each style there is a short list of artists we recommend for listening. This is only a fraction of the available material, but if you want to learn more about Latin, check out these musicians!
The styles are divided into two groups. The first group is Afro-Cuban, traditions coming from the Caribbean and Cuba. These styles are mambo, cha cha, bolero, nanigo, songo, and merengue. The second group is Brazilian, and consists of samba, bossa nova (4/4 and 3/4), baiao, and partido alto. After studying the material from this book, you will have a fundamental understanding of the Latin bass style. Keep in mind that this is only the beginning. These styles evolved from numerous cultures and can only be fully understood by continued study. It is in your best interest to listen to as many recordings as possible to hear the complex variations that the musicians from these cultures use in their music. Keep practicing, listen to the records, and have fun!

TUNING
TUNING TO THE CD
To tune your bass, adjust the tuning pegs. Tightening a peg will raise the pitch
of a string, loosening a peg will lower it.
On CO Track 1, each string is played four times. The first string you'll hear is
the G (1st) string. Check your string with the CD; if it sounds lower than the
recording, tighten the tuning peg until you get closer to the pitch on the CD. If
your string is higher, then loosen the peg. Once the G string is in tune, repeat
this process with the 0, A, and E strings (2, 3, and 4).

USING AN ELECTRONIC TUNER
Electronic tuners have become very affordable, so it's a good idea to have one.
There are generally two types available: a "bass" (or "guitar") tuner, which will
only read the open strings of your instrument, or a "chromatic" tuner, which
will read any pitch. Either will do the job. Plug your bass into the input of the
uner and play your open G string. The tuner will read the pitch and tell you if
he string is sharp (too high) or flat (too low). Adjust the tuning peg until the
tuner indicates you are in tune. Repeat the process with the 0, A, and E strings.

TUNING TO A KEYBOARD
Use the appropriate key on a piano/keyboard to check your open strings.

G 4th string
D 3rd string
A 2nd string
E 1st string

RELATIVE TUNING

Here's another way to tune your bass. It is less accurate, as it assumes that your starting string is in tune-and it is harder for
he ear to hear the low pitch of the bass as well as a tuner can-but this method works when there are no other alternatives.
It's also a good way to check your tuning.
• Start with your open G string. If there is an accurate G available, use it; otherwise, assume the G string is tuned to
the correct pitch.
• Play the 0 string at the 5th fret, and see if that note matches the open G. Tune the 0 string up or down until the
two notes match.
• Play the A string at the 5th fret; compare it to the open O. Tune the A string up or down until the two notes match.
• Play the E string at the 5th fret; compare it to the open A. Tune the E string up or down until the two notes match.
nut 5th fret
This is called relative tuning because the strings are tuned relative to one another.
