Hi M.R Willie.....you are really Humble and Unselfish. i must tell you,,now i can play Via Dolorosa cover like you. and i am so happy abouth that.when i play this song , i can cry and i think to God and next i think to you, because first time i saw your cover and every time i can remember you :)....
I'm glad you really like my playing! Please..i only ask you please, please realize that there is only one GOD and HE sits at the right hand of the FATHER!
HA HA! Perfect and that just the thing ...! You know the difference between we guys who do covers and the original artist is that the stars have to repeat the same tunes night after night after night! That's enough to drive the average musician insane!
So the star tends to take chances with the tune just to break the monotony and screw up a few times where as we who cover them try to play it perfectly. LOL!
A great master of the guitar. He doestn't play guitar but makes music with the guitar! That's the diffrent between soloing and this. I don't say Santana can't solo! But he really makes music! And you do great covers of it. A little bit fatter with the Les Paul. And really your own sound. You don't imitate. That's the diffrent between a cover and a copy. This is a great Cover! I look this vid many times. If it was a copy i would watch the original Santana version.
Because when you copy, you can't be better as Santana. But if you do a cover like this it is diffrent and is a other version. And that improvisation makes it really your own!
willie brother great job!!!!!! you always the best!!!!! hey let me know if you still want me to play and if we can work out some rehearsals with your band ok.
Very nice feel and taste, fantastic sound, specially adding &fmt=18 to the URL at the top of this page and click find, will open the video again in stereo.
Best rendition of Santana I ever heard, even better than the original, for me. Great sound in stereo.
Thanks to Rumpep for sharing this worthy video.
And many thanks to willieguitars for this unique quality playing.
This is truly an example of OUTSTANDING musical art! Emotionally very strong and when it ends, you can't forget what you experienced. 5 stars isn't enough,ivmar,...but it will have to do!:) ~ Patty
Beautifully romantic... love everything you play! I got this video twice, once from my subscription to your channel and as a share from ivmar1. Baskets of stars...
Very fine playing Wil,what I like is that you've put in some nice melodic ideas of own while still maintaining full respect to the composer,it remains a beautiful composition,greets Victor.
Please be kind to say to us which pedal u use on guitar for the over drive or disto.
I'd like to know because i'll need this kind of disto sound very soon...

@paradoxdhl
The effects were later added from plug ins using Adobe Audition. Some reverb and expander.
The amp was recorded dry except a little distorted.
