[imii70]

very nice!

[Binndaify]

Hi mark I've been watching quite a few of your videos and they are ace! Really was just wondering what the technique you use at 3:16 is? That like a chord structure with hammer-ons based around it in the scale? Can't quite see whats happening there? Heard you use similar techniques across your videos but i really want to master that little lick (not necessarily that same one) for my own cover of 'pride and joy' by SRV

[sherrillwallace]

Wonderful and all the other other acolades I can think of. ***** May I ask what kind of guitar that is? The writng on headstock seems to say Martin but I have several Martins so that can't be it. Sherrill

[markgalloway]

@sherrillwallace May I ask what kind of guitar that is? The writng on headstock seems to say Martin but I have several Martins so that can't be it. Sherrill

This is an Australian brand. It is a Maton, Tommy Emmanuel model.

[confessionsofagasman]

[MrNorthernmike]

This has been one of my favourite intstrumentals since I first heard it in 1971. You've done a remarkable cover of this song Mark, I cannot see how one could improve upon it. Seeing this will help me improve my version of it. Thank you and keep up the great work!

[selaznog1]

Very well done; in your interpretation you capture the emotion of this classic. Keep on playing and posting for us.

[mrnirvana1000]

Nice job!!



[jehnnamia1]

wow brotha.....you did awesome.

[lizardking3]

This is awesome man. What key is this song in? I use a slightly modified version of the pentatonic minor A.

[markgalloway]

@lizardking3 This is awesome man. What key is this song in? I use a slightly modified version of the pentatonic minor A.

Thank you for your comment,

The song is actually in the key of G. It starts in Am. The solos are played in G major.

[lizardking3]

@markgalloway thanks! I just looked up the G major scale and thats pretty much how I have been playing it. I only really know the pentatonic scales. I guess I gotta learn some others. 

[pacoblancosmith]

@markgalloway

Holy shit!!!! Pardon my French but I can't help myself.........superb job and, I'll tell you right now, I plan on copying your version for my live acoustic show.... GREAT job!!!! Now do Europa so I can steal that too......Peace.

[TokyoCannabal]

Thank You Mark, and special thanks to santamara for sharing this with me.

[santamara]

My Lord!!

Just fabulous!

[euceph]

Amazing...the "feel" you put in it. By the way, are you related to Roger Daltrey of The Who? LOL... I'm sure you've been asked that before!!!

[whyowhyo1]

This is stunning...what a great interpretation of this song.

[TL160]

sounds awsome mark

[nicoleverde]

ESta muy buena..te sale sensacional!!!

pUedes poner un enlace del video sin el microfono?

[3andez]

One of best versions I've heard - Shame about the Mic!

[markgalloway]

@3andez

Thank you,

I did another edit I did of this song without the microphone in the way.

[yusenbonley]

Saludos, an honest try !!!!

[lhggdf]

hell yeah man killer sound

[zsam19zz]

I love it !I'm a beginner and this is one of the songs I'm planning on learning. What is that called what you do throughout the song. It seems as if you hit the string with your pick to make a beat

[AntonioGantares]

realy nice with filings. great

[Jwarink96]

wat's the tuning?

[markgalloway]

@Jwarink96

Standard tuning. EADGBE.

[56panhead]

@markgalloway Mark,...you must be fed up with all these numbnuts asking you what key it's in? It would be different if you were playing Little Martha,..or Guinnivere,..or anything NOT in standard 440 tuning!

Hey,...I got to meet The Man(Tommy E.)before his concert a few weeks ago in Montgomery, Al. He signed my Martin(don't have an 808 TE Maton yet!),...he blew us away,...awesome show,...a true entertainer!

[amariluna]

Mark that was absolutely AMAZING!!!! Pure bliss...

[56panhead]

That's it Marko!,...I'm breaking that Digitech JamMan out TODAY and plugging it in for the 1st time,...it can't be that difficult to figure out,...the possibilities are endless and can do nothing but improve your lead riffs/skills,...especially my LACK OF! :-(

Thanks for the inspiration man,...you're a hell of a player!,..Tim, Hurricane Alley(FL)

[troiannus]

Very nice. Did you come up with this on your own? If you did, you are very talented, my good Sir.

[RevolutionNewz]

GREAT SOUND!

BEAUTIFUL!

THANK YOU!

[hjoelm]

Hi Mark, what a beautiful song and what a beautiful rendition of that song, I've always loved that song and the way you play it's beautiful, thank you.

Henry

[nancyl2]

Yes markgalloway, truly soothing to the soul. Thanks for your lovely reply. I am trying not to attach tooooooo tightly to a precious guide on my New Path for a year, His Love and compassion two of his greatest qualities among many, many ones. He too composes and plays his guitar with mastery. Something that pulls those strings even tighter. Peace and Love for your words of thanks. Each one I give truly from my heart. :-) Keep strumming those Santana Licks. :-)

[MrBrewtastic]

this is really awesome.  thank you

[markgalloway]

Thank you.

[Boxer73]

awesome...but get that mike out of there...

[markgalloway]

I did another version with a front on camera view.  Thank you.

[doneaster]

Wonderful, very expressive.

[markgalloway]

Thank you.

[markgalloway]

Thanks

[jameshewett123]

[markgalloway]

I learned it by ear from listening to the Santana version. No tabs.

[MrBrewtastic]

[Callehero1]

[stephen25uk]

[nancyl2]

Mark this is so beautiful. So glad I spent a little more time clicking. Peace and Love for your joyfulness and spirit. 1:56 the harmony is just fantastic. Chill-time. :-))) Thanks again for sharing your talent and gift with the world. We need this vibration. It does so much for Humanity. You have NO idea Just how much. I am learning. :-) A FAN. :-) Love my Santana You do his music very much justice. Truly.

[markgalloway]

Thank you.

[estcurl]

[markgalloway]

[jimincairns]

GREAT! Now, do it again, and please shift that danged mic so we can swipe the chords!

[markgalloway]

Thanks.

I'm using a Rode NT3 on the guitar.

[stefalien]

coooolll  bravo.....

[homicidde]

[bisho5000]

Absolutely great! The best cover I've ever heard

[lobeone]

legendary*

[lobeone]

legendry status

[groovemonzter]

So nice to see someone not rushing the beat. Cool and easy ... subscribed.  Thanks.

[captbanjo1]

Impressive! You somehow caught the spirit of the tune on acoustic. Didn't thinki that could be done, let alone so well! Nice looper use. Guitar model? What effects of guitar?

[markgalloway]

Thanks.

I'm using a Maton EBG808TE. It is an Australian made guitar. Besides the loop sampler the only effect is reverb.

[F3FisGoodforYou]

Absolutely WON-DER-FUL !

Any tabs by chance ?

[markgalloway]

Thank you.

I don't have any tabs. I learned this song by ear.

[LOBOGRIS2OO8]

Man, you should publish the tabs in some page. That's, by far, the BEST cover i've ever seen (and hearded) of this song, i congratulate you.

[TheCrazyfaith]

nice cover

[manuel4563]

wow

[MrLarryJet]

Excellent arrangement and feel. Loved it!

[Rontaz123]

[LovingFather1983]

[classicrockhahaha]

it not just any food its m&s food lol

[chrisberkvens]

I wished i could play like you Mark. I love the genuine concentrating moves you make. Great!

[Waffl3Pr0ducti0ns]

B-e-a-utiful. I started on an acoustic like most people, and played it for a good amount of time. I've been playing only electric for over a year now, and this convinced me to dust off my old acoustic just for old times sake.

[uprazor]

Mark....simply amazing. forget that golf game guitar is where it's at for you. thanx for the post and a great arrangement.

[markgalloway]

Standard tuning.

[eaidk]

whats the tuning for this cover?

[Fr3derick]

Excellent!!!

Grandma mary

[2SLipo]

Sir, you called him young man, but he looks older than my dad. May I ask how old are you?

[markgalloway]

I was 52 when I recorded this song.

[violent2039]

how play this song..for tablatureS?

[sonac32]

muy pocas personas con ese don de transmitir la musica, sin duda esta cancion es una de las mejores obras de santana, y esta versión es una de las mejores que he escuchado, es usted una persona admirable...

[whiskycompass]

wow .....that was beautiful, well played

[Meshoow11]

AWESOME!...taps anyone?

[markgalloway]

Thank you.

I don't have tabs.

[SouthWindFromGermany]

wow. *-* It sounds great !!

[datsepmet]

es cabron viejo...very good.... : )

[19explosivo88]

hell yeah! you're the man

[TheGuitarMax]

Mark ... Thats so beautifull <3 I love it !

[jvernezze]

I'm sure Carlos Santana would even enjoy this beautiful rendition.

[langtonart]

Is't music wonderful for the sole... Thank you for posting this great acoustic version.. It's always nice to listen to a professional... Thanks!

[feedervisser]

wondermooi,wonderful!!

[socrates777]

que hermosa version te felicito fue sensacional escucharte MUCHAS GRACIAS .

[jimbutton]

great song, great acoustic version, echo was a wise choice, makes it sound full and gives more impact on your "drum" love it!!

[theoutlawstave]

Bravo my good Sir!!! BRAVO!!!! Simply Amazing!!!

[TheCreativeCause]

And by the way, the day that Carlos Santana leaves us, it will be one dark and somber day for me. Probably the equivelent of the effect that JFK's passing had on a lot of people.

[cuervodigital]

Good!!!

[stratobiker]

Mark,

Just Excellent that. Well played.

SB

[r5b5m9]

if only i could play like that... it great =)

[hmurno]

The best performance I've seen around. Looks you put your soul into it. Congratulations Mark!

I'm going to share your vid with some friends...

Keep posting vids.

[factsnotopinion]

awesome ...mark..do you sample the rhythm section as you go into the lead...halfway thru the song.... what equipment do you use for that ...what would you recommend ...and it it hard to do that mid way thru the song.... you are great my freind!!!

[Nunsweepit421]

factsnotopinion.......

Something like a Boss Loop Station should do the trick.

[nacki612]

magnificent!!! ...someday i will practice this. thank you.

[Tamerigo]

Anytime I'm feeling low I come to this place and turn the volume up. It's my fix for the day. Thank you

[jairosteel]

[migueldiaz922]
