Note; I have tabbed what I think Santana has played as
accurately as possible for reference. Sometimes its best,
I think, not to try to reproduce exactly what you hear
or read,it can get way too complex.
Anyway, to the song.
Tech notes: Start off with a clean sound selector on middle
position if its a stratocaster or imitation of one,
then during the solos change the selector for emphasis,
if directed to, as Carlos often does.
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
v - vibrato more v's=more vib
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping
