    Santana has written such timeless music which has also helped latin music be listened to by a global audience. In my opinion he has one of the most recognizable guitar voices ever, he's one of those few players whose solos you can actually sing...

      @@MikeWiest research. I read it some years ago. I thought as well he would have played P90s. - So far as I know Les Paul and a EHX triangle Big Muff just on one to add sustain. In the transcripts there is a rotary pedal symbol which you can hear in the recordings but I don t know which model he used.
      Later he played those expensive custom pedals (Cornish).

    I was in high school when Smooth came out. There wasn't a lot of Latin music on mainstream radio from what I recall, and as a trombone player at the time I enjoyed hearing the horn parts. Also, your Rob Thomas impression sounds kinda like my Scott Stapp impression.

    I was about 10 when Supernatural came out. I bought it right away and probably listened to that album every day for about 4 years. Santana is one of those guys that he could be featured in a totally different genre unannounced and you would still instantly know it was him playing X part. I can say that about very few guitar players.

    I went to an art school and in my senior year we played jungle strut off santanna 3 and it was the craziest thing ive ever had to learn and play with a band it was so much fun quoting famous santana licks in the call and response solo and people really digged it bc I nailed his tone perfectly like it's the one time I felt gear mattered not because it made me play better it gave me a mood that inspired me to practice relentlessly so that when I stood their in that small bar with my whole family watching me hit that feed back sustained lick from Europa everyone knew I'd loved what I was doing with myself

    Cool video! 😃 one of the things I find interesting about Carlos Santana, is that he was somewhat involved with two of the biggest names in modern music. Mesa Boogie, and Paul Reed Smith, it was Carlos that gave the "Boogie" in Mesa amplifiers and Carlos was one of the first famous guitarist to purchase a PRS guitar. Helping the two companies establish themselves. Thank you! Peace! ☮

    Santana, from origin Mexican goes a long way back. In latin music the harmonic minor is often used to highlight the dominant going back to the Tonic. Over E7 (-9 -13) you could use the phrygian dominant ( the 5 of Ami harmonic) E F G# A B C D E. Certainly one of my favourite scales with nice alterations.

    Of course, he played *Woodstock* the week after their debut album was released and *Black Magic Woman* is still probably his most played song on radio. My favorite Santana album is *Blues for Salvador,* but I'm just discovering (even after all these years!), his more jazz-fusion collaboration with artists like *Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter* and *Tony Williams* on *The Swing of Delight,* which I ordered tonight. Also, he teamed up with fusion pioneer *John McLaughlin* for "Love, Devotion, Surrender," another incredible release that shows the more jazz-rock fusion side of Santana (my favorite side). After decades, I still think *Samba Pa Ti* is still one of the most beautiful guitar instrumentals, up there with *Gary Moore's The Loner.*

    I love Carlos and his music. Listening to him talk can often be an adventure in itself also. Sometimes I ask myself why he always' seems to wear a hat.
    Does he have a going bald issue? For the record I'm bald, well, I cut it all off so my growing bald spot is less noticeable. Man, you sound like Carlos? As usual, I learn about guitar through you. Finally I think that Latin feel really distinguishes him from many guitarists here in the US especially. I have 3 images of Carlos that come to mind. 1, Prince loaning him his guitar and Carlos getting down with it. 2, Carlos at Woodstock 3. Carlos and John McLaughlin each dressed in all white standing next to each other jamming on some TV show back in the day.. Love Black Magic Woman. Oye como va....

    So here’s my origin story - my step father is Spanish, and owned records and CDs a while ago - when I was 5 I would listen to “the west side story” record and play Maria Maria (which had Santana in it). My step dad told me to listen to Supernatural because it was a Santana record. Couldn’t stop playing smooth over and over and over again. My first memory of being like “Hey… THAT.. whatever that is… that’s what I like”
