Where's Carlos? (Santana Challenge)I've been enjoying listening to everyone's response to the Santana Challenge and thought I would do one. This is a song I first did in 2004, and was the first real instrumental (as opposed to a jam track) I ever wrote. I dedicated it to my wife, Kathy. I no longer have most of the original version, got lost in a hard drive crash years ago. What I do still have is the percussion track, which was built with ACID Loops, and also the bass track, which would have been midi. No idea what I used to render midi tracks back then. The rest of the track I built this morning and then recorded the guitar: ~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 1903:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Bolero Ev 090 Original bass and percussion track I used EZDrummer2 for the drum track.EDIT: I got EZDrummer3 installed last night and liked it so much I redid the drums for this song.

Very cool Dave. Love how you slide off the held note and the amp break-up catches. Excellent melody and of course well played. Well done

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Man, you got that tone that goes right through ya, Dave. You definitely captured the spirit of Carlos and wrapped around every finger. I really love that Evening In Brazil album. I've listened to on Spotify several times. This version seems a bit faster or at least more powerful. It has the sultry sound of Santana all through it.

Dave, your guitar chops are second to none
You really captured Carlos's vibe
I think the mix is just fine
Two thumbs up
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Ai, now the master entered the contest...
What a great performance this is, Dave.
I think you are the winner!
However, it was a very close call... :))

Hi Dave ..
Agree with all that has already been said. This is a splendid write and performance. Really, really sweet and captures the Santana sound so nicely.

I've listened to on Spotify several times. This version seems a bit faster or at least more powerful. It has the sultry sound of Santana all through it. I think you must be my biggest fan, Marty, I'm sure no one else has listened to that album in years I kept the same tempo as the original, but the drums are more aggressive. Plus my playing on the original was more laid back I think. I see you uploaded your latest, I'll be along on Friday to give it a listen  Dave,
Beautiful tone.
Beautiful playing.
Beautiful tune.
Cool drums.
Excellent mix.
Captures Carlos well.
fj Thanks as always, Floyd, very much appreciated Dave
Was hoping you'd post one. Not disappointed. Excellent work and great tone and feel.
Peter Yeah, was a fun little project. Hopefully we can all do something similar in the future. Thanks, Peter!

I listened to Santana a lot back in the day, and in the 80's was in a band that covered a few of his songs. Thanks for the kind words, Mario, very much appreciated! You've got some good stuff here. Caught the vibe very well. It was fun to listen to. Thanks for stopping by, Brad! Hi Dave, glad that you jumped in. Great tone and production all around. Great playing as usual.
Cheers
Mike B. Yeah, it was a fun little project. Thanks, Mike!

Santana in his sultry mood!
As others have mentioned your tone is very nice and Santana is represented well.
Now we want to listen to your original song for Kathy!
Enjoyed it,
