As a child I was always going to my brothers rehearsals.. he passed away and I inherited his 60s Ampeg AEB-1 and BB Bass. I enjoy your lessons and bringing me the memories..
The Ampeg BB-4 baby bass was a staple in every orquesta salsera I ever saw and now it's extremely hard to come by. Most I've seen online are in bad shape....at least cosmetically. Ray Ramirez has been the saving grace for Latin bajistas everywhere with his traditional designs.
Mr. Ramirez, thank you so much for this and your other videos. For a gringo like me, it helps a lot learning this music to hear the bass without the other instruments. It trains my ear to pick out the lines I hear in the full mixes.
Thanks Jimmy for your comments. Yes I decided to play them alone to help the bassist see the actual fingering and positions that I use to play the exercises. Then you can choose any fingering or position that you find more comfortable for you.
Hi Dat, Thanks for your correction. You are completely right. I hope that apart from the dot, the workshop had been of interest and instructive for you.
Estoy siguiendo su labor musical con mucho interes y admiracion, tengo una duda en el 4º compas del ejemplo nº 4 descarga & rumba, parece que hay un eror de impresion? ya que el cifrado es D7 no coincide con las notas escritos, por favor me lo puede aclarar?, gracias por compartir
Hola Gabriel, Muchas Gracias por tu aclaración. Hay error de impresión en los acordes de los ejemplos 2, 3 y 4 . Lo pase por alto y no lo había notado. Todos los ejemplos en esta sección deben ser con el cifrado del ejemplo # 1, C7 en las cuatro barras. Gracias nuevamente por tu aclaración.
Very helpful as a white guy trying to learn the distinctions between all the different Latin styles
same boat but I also need to learn to play the bass lines
Thankyou for all the work that you put into this project, this lesson helps tremendously and will be a great resource for life!

Por qué tienen por costumbre llamar a esos ritmos latinos aunque por cuestiones re región lo sean? Deben decir que esos ritmos son todos de Cuba.
