Happy 2021 AM people !!!!
This time I’ve chosen a lesson that initially, I was not sure to be able to play due to the speed (I’m not a fast-finger)
anyway, I’ve had a LOT of fun playing it (my wife hasn’t) and I think that finally, I’ve got something acceptable.best regards from Barcelona

Hypnotic guitar tone, very Santana-like
I can feel your fun while you play this tune.
Well done.Blue

That’s a fun lesson. Well done, especially in the speed department. Apologies to your wife, I’ve tortured mine on more than one occasion.

Well David, more than acceptable, damn good in fact. Loved the tone and vibrancy of it all. On the subject of Wives, I always practice way out of earshot before the insults start.

Hey David. Who said you weren’t a ‘fast finger?’ Any faster and you’d get a speeding fine. 😉 Very impressive playing from start to finish. Great sound you’ve dialled in also and spot on for the style you’re playing. Really enjoyed this. All the best and a Happy New Year!

David, that really sounded like Santana, I am very impressed. Greetings to your wife. Mine is also not too happy with me. Not because of me playing the guitar (well, not only because of it ;-). It is because I spend hours before my Mac and listen to this fantastic tunes you and the others are playing. And of course she should not miss anything, so I called her over very often 🙂
Now, she is in bed – so I’ll have to wake very early next morning to present her your tune…Bluesige Grüße

David that was pretty fast and close to the tone of the man himself. Take pity on your wife, get her some ear plugs! Great playing.

Oh yeah!! I love it! I’m going to definitely go find that lesson and try it out. Very nicely played. I think you nailed it! Maybe you can get out of the dog house now with your wife. LOL! 🙂 … key word here “maybe”.. sometimes it takes time.

Nice playing, David. That was plenty fast enough for me and some great Santana tones out of your PRS. Way to rock!

Excellent, that took off and flew and flew. Great tones. Terrific rendition.

For sure that’s a tough lesson; like others, I’ve tried it but couldn’t get up to speed. Your PRS really caught the Santana tone. Well done.
Happy New Year to you and yours. -

Dave,
I enjoy your posts and your passion… great job on this… you got the ‘tough’ spots down! I can relate to how learning a tune can be ‘hard on the family’. Too funny. Thanks for sharing and happy new year.John

I love that I get to hear the end result. I can only imagine. You did that soooo good.

David, I disagree with your self assessment. I think you kept up really nicely. what a sustain. So Santana! You were beginning to look like him… Very soulful.

Carlos is in the house, really tricky lesson to take on and I thought the whole thing was superb.
Made me want to get out some percussion and join in

Smoking! That was fun to watching. That fast picking around :25 lend up to a super cool and bang set of bends. Nice to see hard work paying off. Cool stuff!

Great speed playing, and accurate too. I’m not sure who got more notes in the one minute, you or Larry. Either way, that was terrific.
-

Yep I think you’ve reached full speed with this the note separation and detail are there , you certainly dialled in the right tone for this piece ,mission accomplished .I’m with you on the wife thing I just get a certain look when I sneak off to my guitar room!

definitely has a Santana vibe with that tone! amazing man.

My wife and yours have something in common. And, despite our playing, we both seem to still have them. Anyway, you got the Santana vibe perfectly.

David Santana, that was superb! You’re really digging into all the lessons and holding up so well and becoming better and better with each one. That’s not an easy lesson but you nailed it!

Hi David, that sounds like Santana with an edge. It sounds like you mean it.

Very enjoyable to listen. It really captured the Santana sound and took me back a few years.
