Welcome to LGM!

I guess two sources would be (1) your local music store, who may have instructional books and CD's, and (2) You Tube.

I'm sure there are some bass players here with the Latin feel. You may want to be more specific in you post titles. Some people will over look it if it just says help. :)

I guess for Bass players the Root of each chord is the starting place. If he can cover that on most tunes, good.

But Latin music tends to have lots of bass movement. scales, 1-3-5 arpeggios on chord tones, etc.
So I second the emotion on YouTube - there might even be some Bass tutorials on your favorite songs...

I also recommend "The Latin Bass Book".  I LOVE it and its a great resource for anyone looking to delve into Latin.  Other than that, listening to it and playing along with it helps.
