      @@greenrobot5agreed, they all fulfill their egos based on them wanting to play their favorite bands. It’s not just the band or artist but the vibe and aesthetic, it’s ok to be inclined in the fashion n vibe of it but don’t get too deep into it because that’ll make you a try hard, and I’m referring to those bands that try to bring the 70s/80s (thrash metal)/90s (grunge, nu metal, death metal)

    One of the few Woodstock generation musicians that's still musically relevent today. I interviewed him at length during the promo for the Shamen album. Always a hero of mine he was brutally honest about how unhappy he was as the Haight scene imploded and drugs darkened his life. Embracing spirituality has totally changed him and his art is infinitely better for it. One love Carlos. Keep shining baby!

      @@joe22589 when I say circles around him I am not just talking about dexterity. I am also speaking of bringing more musical ideas to the table. Carlos Santana's playing is so predictable that just about anybody who can play the pentatonic scale can sound like him. I am telling you as a musician who's played in a lot of bands there are a lot of unknown players better at the craft. I will give you that at a certain level there is no such thing as the best guitarist because everyone brings different things to the music. Carlos Santana is not on that level.

    I have played guitar for 35 years and I draw the soul of my playing from Carlos, he has been the greatest inspiration, his tone his heart his philosophy. I had heard about this masterclass so I was looking forward to it, I know most of it will be about attitude, tone, connection with your audience, and really meaning it when you play so you can make that connection. Music is a magical thing that is a privilege to play, it has the most amazing effect on people, never question it just channel it as best you can. Carlos has a wealth of knowledge to impart about this as he has a wealth of experience. Carlos you have come to this place after the longest of journeys, you have many thousands of followers both musicians and music listeners, please think again about the cost of imparting this knowledge as many people won't be able to afford it.
    Peace my brother, keep the music coming.

    Also Carlos, Thank you for our Beloved PRS Guitars. Which yeah they are so good they would have eventually gotten out, but you were the one lighting a fire under this great guitar. Funny in 1973 I purchase A Gibson L6S a couple weeks later saw the poster with you playing one. My only complaint I guess is the nut could have been wider, I have big hands and I felt that neck a little narrow. But that guitar introduced to me all the options of hyper wiring a humbucker.

    Santana's first statement, about light into the darkness, makes me think of some words of my own. I dismantled a CRT monitor recently and there was a piece like a bulky cone around the electron generator, with wire coils that direct the electrons toward the screen, it looks like a speaker cone and I called it "speaker for images". You know, because it gives off images instead of sounds.
