The Latin Solo Workout for Guitar gives guitarists the opportunity to practice improvisational techniques while playing along to rhythm tracks of keyboards, guitar, bass, drums in various different Latin styles including Calypso, Mambo, Salsa and Songo. There are 20 different "grooves" consisting of 1 Calypso groove, 8 Mambo grooves, 6 Salsa grooves and 5 Songo grooves. Each track is approximately 2 and a half minutes long, giving the musician enough time to practice improvising over each groove. The 20 grooves consist of a variety of tempos and keys. The book contains over 200 riffs or improvisational ideas, so that the musician can experiment using many different permutations and should be used as a starting off point for one's own improvisations. Also, these musical phrases may be interchanged throughout the different grooves and should be learnt in as many keys as possible.
