    Love how Carlos has always acknowledged and embodied the spiritual aspect of music. Duane Allman has always been a favorite of mine, and he also had the spiritual aspect to his playing. From around '68 until Duane's death in late '71 they must have crossed paths. I wonder if they jammed? Never heard or read Carlos discuss Duane (or Dickey). Bill Graham ever book them together at Fillmore West or East. Always thought Carlos' rhythm section and Allman's had similar, perculating rhythm.

Carlos also has his distinct sound because he made the journey inside and pulled out his music and sound, ofcourse influenced by the blues and latin ( african) rhythms.

Since then, I am always searching for his vinyl. I wish he was my tio 😢😢

I play a PRS Tremonti and another PRS copy with Santana II pickups. Carlos has always been a great inspiration both in his style and personality. Read his autobiography!

    That's right. You listen to it, and you feel instantly connected with everything in Universe. It can make you jump in joy, or break into tears. Only talented artists can move people's feelings like that. It's like some people say: they just have the gift. You can learn to play an instrument and actually come to do it awesomely, and that's great; but some musicians will stand out from the crowd. Those are the ones who are blessed with the gift.

    Having researched the History of Paul Reed Smith guitars and their import copy PRS recently. I find it amusing when Wyclef here asked Carlos 'This guitar is what kind of model? .... and Carlos turns his head to the headstock of his guitar as if to read it, and then answers 'Yeah it's a Paul Reed Smith ....... NOWHERE on HIS Signature model USA made Paul Reed Smith guitars ..... Does it actually have a logo that says Paul Reed Smith on it .... anywhere !!!! .... a little known fact. Edit: Paul Reed Smith is written on the back electronic pot cover, on the Production models.

    This is the first time in 30 years santana doesn't sound like he's playing through 6 compression pedals. I don't know when he decided sustain is more important than anything else, but it definitely isn't. I listen to Samba PA Ti and wonder where that guy went. He has so much touch and feel, I don't know if it's the Boogies, or the PRS with the short 24 1/2" scales, but his tone has gotten so overly round and compressed, that there's no life to it anymore. People say you can tell it's Carlos Santana within the first couple bars of a song, and it's true, but only because it sounds like everything else he's done. He should go back to the Dumble and an SG with PAFs or P90s for a while, get some dynamics going again.

    He doesnt want to take his $15,000 origin as l Dumble on the road anymore. He has been using Mesa and prs way longer than he used fender and gibson. Supernatural speaks for itself in its accomplishments. The man has serious soul in his playing. ALL guitarists have similar scale patterns and modes they use that make them kinds sound the same. From blues to metal that is true. Santana is a blues guy so he is always using blues scales to improv.

    Definitely the majority of the magic is in the way he plays, it comes from his hands and his spirit... but Carlos never sounded better than when he played a Gibson L6-S or especially a Yamaha SG. Those PRS's just do not hit that glorious blossoming tone... been a fan of his for over 50 years, but the PRS's just sound "deadened & muffled" and not in ANY aspect in a good way - his playing was still amazing, but his tone became dull like someone threw a quilt over the amp. This is the reason I've steered clear of the "jack of all trades" guitar.
