Hi GMC-ers! Welcome to my first Santana style lesson. Carlos Santana is a well known and highly respected guitarist with a distinct Latin style.

This bossa-nova style lesson is in D minor with a simple modulation at the middle to C minor then back to D minor. In the first part I'll play a D minor scale at the tenth fret, next a C minor at the eight, and then a D harmonic minor back to the Dm.

If you have any questions:
* Give feedback (upper-right-corner)
* My Personal Board
* General Forum

Chord Progression:
Bm7- A- E- E- Bm7- A- E- E- Bm7- A- E- E- Bm7- A- E- E- Bm7- A- E- E- G- A- B- B

Techniques:
* Bends
* Vibratos
* Hammer ons
* Pull offs
* Slides

Scales:
* C minor
* D minor

Have fun!/ Laszlo
