Default Western Swing Rhythm Guitar Book Recommendation

I'm interested in a good book to help in learning Western Swing rhythm guitar playing. I know some of the common three and four note swing chords already, but am really interested chord charts and tips to help in weaving baselines into the chord changes to propell the song. I really love that sound!

Thanks in advance!

mellowman,

This isn't exactly what you requested, and is rather basic (don't know your level) but here are 20 walking baseline chord transitions as demonstrated by video: (Another forum member posted this link recently.)

They are simple and concise, leaving how you stylistically incorporate them up to you, but may be helpful.
