Now who can play guitar like this guy...

Not in the current repertoire with my band (we don't have keyboards), but I've played it before. Santana is one of the greats indeed.

The keyboardist in that video is Greg Rollie, who also played with Journey. I saw him last year in concert with the Ringo Starr All Star Band. The drummer on that tour was Gregg Bissonette, a good friend of a one of my best friends. (Her brother played with Gregg in several bands. I was at the concert with her and her husband, one of my old bandmates.) The Ringo Starr concert was outdoors at a local casino, and it was delayed due to rain. They told the audience to go inside the casino to wait for the rain to pass. While we were waiting, we got a text message from Gregg letting us know that they were getting ready to play. I thought it was pretty cool getting a text from the band minutes before the general announcement was made in the casino that the show was about to start. :thumb:
 
Always loved Santana for sure. SRV, David Gilmour, Billy Gibbons, and Mark Knopfler weren't bad either! ;-) Many moons ago a friend of mine wanted to go a local club and hear Jose Feliciano play....I wasn't crazy about the idea, but went, and was really impressed with what a good guitar player he is....all we ever hear is Feliz Navidad!
 
Santana Abraxas was I think the very first music I ever bought. Back in ????? - I think 1970 or 71. I bought it on cassette. I SERIOUSLY wore that one out.

MAN - O MAN - that entire band is just INTO IT - feel it.

YES YES - I DO have that and other Santana in my digital collection

BTW - Tony Emmanuel is another great

Charo - (coochi coochi) - is a very good Spanish guitarist

YES - my hat is off to those that play any instruments.

MAGICAL - music

And THANK YOU - for the morning music

VOLUME UP - UP - UP

Two times - good coffee - then out to the shop for me

Again - than you - for the morning sounds
 
Supernatural is the first album of Santana which I've listened and then did a bit of digging into old records to find some beautiful pieces of music. :) Worth it
 
For me Carlos is good but Peter Green is Great

Back in the early '80s when I was playing nightly in the bars around Albuquerque, there was an old (to us 20-year-olds) British drunk who used to come around to all the bars and try to convince whatever band was playing that he was Peter Greene, and then try to get himself invited to come up and sit in with the band. We humored him a time or two and let him play a song with us (before we knew his game). He was a decent player, but he was no Peter Greene, lol.

Just as a point of discussion, I respectfully disagree with your comparison of Peter and Carlos. Peter was indeed great at playing classic blues-based riffs, but he was heavily influenced by many great blues guitarists before him. (As were a bunch of others like Clapton and Page.) But Carlos' greatness comes from the ground that he broke. He introduced a whole new style to modern rock music of the time.
