  You wont beleive this Gabriel. The rain was pouring outside today and all roads were flodded so my dad had to come to school to pick me up since buses were cancelled due to flooding. I turn on the radio and i hear some pop/ rap song with Santana with it (it wasnt the Nickelback one, it had a rapper). I liked the phrasing so my goal today was to practice a good some santana licks. I scanned UG and only found some songs, so i came back to GMC to request a Santana lesson and guess what? I found it on the main page. I really like the way you divided or paused between licks instead of just putting things to flow at once.
  
  If i can save $100 (doubt it) i can see Santana next month.

  Thanks for the comments! That's great Jammer! You know.. The Uncreator started a Santana request tread in my personal forum and many other GMCers said that it would be great... so here you have.
  I really like Santana's playing and feeling.

  Excellent impro Gabriel! I play that song with a blues band, and the solos in the song make you feel soooo soooo good on stage! Gotta love the bends!

- Reaver15th January 2008
  VERY nice. Thank you!
- Joey15th January 2008
  I thought i was listening to Black Magic Woman for a second there but then all of a sudden there was a Gabriel twist and it went to a dead on santana style composition
  very nice!
- Man0waR15th January 2008
  This , as a lesson , is super But it does remind me again how much subtlety there is in Santana's playing .... I just love guitarists that you can keep learning licks and songs from for ages and STILL not be able to get all the feel down I've been waiting for Santana lessons here for a while hope MORE will come cause the guy deserves lotsa study and restecpa
- Nick32515th January 2008

  JUst Amazing...
- rokchik15th January 2008
  I've been listening to a lot of Carlos Santana over the last few weeks, thanks to all the talks about him lately on the forum. He has such a distinct style that you instantly recognize one of his songs. Gabriel you have definatley captured his style here with lesson. Great job
