Salsa Piano - Keyboard Style Series Book/Online Audio (Hal Leonard Keyboard Style) Paperback – May 1, 2007

this book has helped me gain insight into the son riff, the Bo Diddley beat. And it is set aside now while I become a better player so I can make my way through the exercises. The CD breaks it down into bite-sized lessons...but I haven't got the chops yet to properly go through much of it. I think I will, because I love these rythms.

Excellent deliveryGood bookGood contentRecommended

Great tutorial! It also comes with a CD which made it much easier to learn the music. I probably would not have used it as much if the CD was not included.

I suppose it's good.

Great book to advance your music ability

If you can go through this material you should be able to play almost any latin gig.........Hector is an awesome player ( check him out on U Tube)once you get past chapter 7 he really takes the gloves off

I love this book. I am not a professional musician, but after a few years learning classical piano, I wanted to explore the world of salsa music. I do love salsa music, and learning about it with this book is definitly a lot of fun. I would not recommend this book for you if you just started playing piano. But if you have played for some time, you should be able to play the piano sheets on it.The only reason why I give this book 4 starts instead of 5 starts is because I find the book a little bit repetitive. The author basically uses 4 examples, and he builds up from them. I think the author should have used a little more variety. It's good for learning, but it becomes kind of boring to play the same thing over and over again with simple variations. He could have included some famous songs, or more different examples to make the book more entertaining. But I do think the book is fun to read, learn from, and play its music sheets. Definitly worth it for the price.I just bought the Latin Jazz Piano book from the same editor. I'll write a review about that one when I get it and read it. But what I expect is a similar book to this one, but with more variety. We'll see.

A pleasure to work with these people!! They were very attentive to all the questions I had, Thanks again!! -
