Cita:

Basic Santana style primer for the noob:

*Pentatonic Minor scale patterns.

*Dorian mode.

*Fingers making sustain by "violin" bowing of the string on the fret.

*Get and use a good guitar compressor. Compresser should always be the first thing after the guitar, ahead of all other effects, if used.

Add this: *finally, connects your soul to a device that amplifies divine universal love inside you (not on guitar stores).


Good one Mac! ...thas is a fine summary, are you sure you didn't miss your real instrument? ;-) . Santana near of rudimentary technique on guitar is not on the top 'shopping list' for most today guitarist. From my personal perspective the solely fact of pursuing Carlos ability is even silly if his 'touch' and musical spirit is leave aside, a mistaken view of the real importance behind one of the most transcendent figures in rock history.
