[rushyeskansas]

Bob, that was really smooth!!!! Well played and absolutely perfect tone. Awesome job to make a Marshall sound like a Boogie ... Merry Christmas ... Richie

[stratocasterbob]

@rushyeskansas Thanks Richie ! happy New Year 2012 !

[MajesticSuperiorHen]

Alright, Bob. I have to admire your ability to cover so many different guitarists. Very cool.

Have a great Holiday!!!!

[stratocasterbob]

@MajesticSuperiorHen Thanks man ! For me, its the "so many, so little time " thing! :D

I am trying to do at least one cover of all my guitar greats favorites. Some work out better than others, but at least I've tried!!

[FailDoctor]

Your videos never cease to amaze, Bob. Your tone is the closest to Santana's of any cover I've heard. What are you doing to get this tone?

Thanks and happy holidays,

FailDoctor

[stratocasterbob]

@FailDoctor Thanks for the kind words my friend ! Carlos is well known for use of Mesa Boogie amps. If you can set your amp or pedal....that's the start. Santana's tone is basically wide open gain, moderate treble, and lots of reverb.You just have to play with the amp settings untill you hit it. It took the Zoom G2.1 Nu pedal along with that to get what you hear now!

[tinman3012]

Very nice cover Bob.  The whole album is great. Merry Christmas to you and the fam!

[stratocasterbob]

@tinman3012 Thanks Ron ! Rock On !

[FORSATKEY]

@FT53Malcom Arigatou Seiji ! ^ ^

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

great cover, but wtf are with that one pick up?

[stratocasterbob]

@AmonOfTheSahelijos Thanks! You are probably not familiar with the late 70s Gibson LesPauls. They were made with two "minihumbuckers"! Look closely under my right hand. The bridge pickup is there! When you see me push the switch down, I'm switching to the bridge pickup under my hand!!!

[Projoiner1]

Nice Bob, and no whammy bar required.

[stratocasterbob]

@Projoiner1 LOL....thanks, Carlos probably snuck one in somewhere ! :D

[5150RDH]

Great job and very awesome Santana tones bro :D Rock on Bob!

[stratocasterbob]

@5150RDH Thanks Ray ! I'm thinking about a Van Halen cover, I'll have to watch more of your playing!!!

[TheDrumChannel]

Cool intro You have the same tone as the master and play it just great. Merry christmas

[stratocasterbob]

@TheDrumChannel Thanks Joe! Took me awhile to get Carlos's tone right ! Rock On my friend...Merry Christmas!

[ARGbass86]

same tone!!! i love it. well done Bob!!!!

[stratocasterbob]

@ARGbass86 Thanks Jose ! You are very kind !

[fredthejunkman]

Allright Bob! Super tone on the axe dude!

[stratocasterbob]

@fredthejunkman Rock on Dave ! My search for Carlos Santana's tone is like the search for the Holey Grail !!! This is my fourth cover of Santana and I'm just starting to nibble at the edges of his sound! This one is turn the gain to ridiculous, turn the tone down to crazy, and then raise the volume! :D

[Lesattridge]

very nice,one more like
