  It’s snowing outside for the first time this season. I’m still in the flow of the November challenge. This is not a lesson from Brian but his lesson inspired me to do some more Santana stuff. For the people who are interested, I attached the Tablature and backingtrack.

  Ricardo,
  
  That tone has gotta be real close to Santana’s… Sounds really good.

  Ricardo,
  
  Thank you. Great post, loved your playing. What were your Tone settings? Nice easy speed. How many bpm were you playing at?

  Hi Gene,
  
  Thx. My hearth-rate was approximately 80 BPM I think :-). But the song is around 68 BPM but with 16th notes in it. Played with the neck pick-up and the last 6 bars with the bridge pick-up.
  For that Santana sound I use a MXR Shin-Juku drive and some reverb and delay (modulation) from my Boss ME80.

    I assumed you wore it to match the bird inlays on the PRS fretboard.

  Very cool, Ricardo. Sound is very authentic and well played too. When I close my eyes I feel like Carlos plays himself.
  Lights.

  Richie, that’s damn close to our Carlos; if any difference. You are in a good mood.
  I watched your guitar playing several times. Wonderful!

  Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.

  Hey Ricardo
  I’m having coffee with your “Santana Mood” this morning… we got about 4 inches of snow overnight and I’m just chilling’ and really enjoying your solo again… thanks for sharing the tablature as well. It’s very evident that you have Carlos in your soul… your feel, touch, and attack are spot on. Your videography is awesome as well. Keep on!
