Hi! We like same guitar players!!!
So I have created a few licks for you in style of Carlos Santana some are simple and some are a little complicated! When you are practicing make sure you do it at a slow tempo and using a metronome!!! E |--------12------------------------------------------|----|

QUOTE (Dieterle @ Apr 5 2012, 09:57 AM)  Thank you Alex ! I start right now Perfect! In a few days I will post a chord progression in style of Santana so you can practice those licks! Also we will start analyzing chords and notes he is using! Just let me know when you will get comfortable with the licks I've posted! -------------------- |

Hi Alex ,
i have real fun with your exercise licks for me and i am getting into it - right now working with speed 80 - next view will be 100 a bit later the 120  at this time , i still sometimes , have to think in between, what gets me out of rhythm actually i like to play them all together - lots of fun and a good feeling to me . Have a good day ! |

Have a good day ! Great! I would suggest to take your time and really get them down at a slow speed! This way you have a full control over it! I am glad to hear that you like it!  There is more to come!

You did a very good job with videos! Looks good and you got it to work!
About licks: You did good learning them but I would suggest to spend more time practicing at a slow tempo even slower than 80 BPM I want you to take control over your hands and slower you practicing better results you will get! -------------------- |

Hi Alex ,
here all the licks together - i tried to play them in 80 i posted that you can see all of them together. I still exercise each of them in slower speed to recognize whats inside and i know it takes time.....  Anyway - have a nice day and greetings to your dog from mine |

Hi! Nice take! I can see the big difference between licks you were practicing and licks you started learning not so long ago!
Licks 2,5,6 still need work! Try to practice them more and maybe break them on to short phrases? The rest was much better and I can see your progress in only a couple of days! Very nice! -------------------- |

High Alex !
Could you do me a favor and give me 2 or 3 chords to play with my licks !? I still keep exercising them slow and fast but in between i like to play around and would be interesting with the right chords too. Something Santana like i can built on that

Sounds very good! Getting better and better every day!
I wanted to give you another exercise that will help you develop picking and timing at the same time! You have to practice it at a very slow tempo! Slower is better ALWAYS USE METRONOME! Here it is: E ||---------------------------|----------------------------------------| Guitar Pro
