If he doesn't belong in the top ten guitarists, nobody does.

One thorn of experience is worth a whole wilderness of warning.

Actually, he's good enough to be in the top 3 IMO.

I've played guitar for 50 years, I understand how difficult it is to establish your own "style" and then refine it to where your playing is instantly recognizable. Santana pulled this off in his twenties.

As far back as the early 70's Santana was referred to as "The father of sustain", known for holding those loooong lead notes. His signature.

When I was a new d.j., Santana's Abraxas album was just released.I remember getting requests for virtually the entire album.Good times.

"Keep cool.Face piles of trials with smiles.It riles them to see you perceive the web they weave.And keep on thinking free".

After struggling with the wrapper, I finally have it ripped. Evil Ways is playing and I'm dancing in my seat.

Carlos Santana with Rob Thomas

Smooth - Song Lyrics

Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone,
But you stay so cool
My Muï¿½equita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason, the step in my groove

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth

And it's like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

Well I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name, calling me out
Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round

And it's like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

Then there's:

Corazon Espinado with Mana

Esa mujer me esta matando
Me a espinado el corazon
Por mas que trato de olvidarla

Mi alma no da razon
Mi corazon aplastado
Herido y abandonado
Aber aber tu sabes dime mi amor por favor
Que dolor nos quedo

Chorus:
Ah ah ah corazon espinado
Ah ah ah como me duele el amor

Como duele como duele el corazon
Cuando nostiene entregados
Pero no olvides mujer que algun dia diras
Hay ya yay como me duele el amor

Como me duele el olvido
Como duele el corazon
Como me duele estar vivo
Sin tenerte aun lado amor

Corazon espinado

I believe these two releases are on the Supernatural CD.

Both tunes are outrageous examples of how far Santana has evolved as an artist.

Check out the part where the lead singer for Mana says "Hay yay yay!" and then Santana plays the same notes on his guitar. = p

Weak in the knees, I could dance to that all night.
