Wow, this is absolutely amazing. You nail everything about his tone and playing style, with your own uniqueness to go with it. This is on my favorites list!
Hi Willie,this song ,wow you play it better with more feel and compassion!!
Really good Will.
I didn;t hear this song from you before.wonderfull!!!
At this moment I almost sound like you,I mean the sound,I need to practice a little more years to play like you,but I make progress.thanks to your advise
I had to bring back the 2C,that thing is unbelievable!Now i'm playing with my 22+ again.Hope to find one 2C or Mark 1 for my own.
How can anyone dislike this? they must be tone deaf,or Trolls.
Brilliant rendition,well done.
I have a PRS custom but can't play it because of a bad back, you name it...having to resort to a nice Tanglewood electro acoustic,as its a great melody its pleasing enough but nowhere near this tone.
Hi Willie, I love your playing. I can feel Carlos deep into those licks of yours. This is one of my favorite instrumental song by Carlos. It reminds me of my father that past away this year. I was hoping to ask where did you get the backing track and would be thankful if i can get a mp3 copy from you. I greatly appreciated. You are awesome.. thanks Will from Sacramento
Really amazing track there Willie - keep on listening to it over and over. You've really captured the true essence of Carlos, and more. Is that an old MK1 Boogie or one of the reissues? I was considering one of the newer models, but I'm still not convinced it would be a wise choice! The backing track really complements your playing, and it would be good if you had a link to it, rather than the heavily manufactured version I put together. Thanks for this track

I am just an ordinary working man and a poor guitar player. But this has uplifted my soul. I would just like you know that sitting in a lonely hotel room with no shortage of troubles, your performance has given me joy, tears and some hope. Out of such small things many great things can be born. I offer you the thanks of my heart. God bless you.
hi,willie man, you're good!!! very good!! i wish i could play like you all i had to do is close my eyes and then boom! i'ts carlos WOW! you got it down brother to the bone.
anyway, how could i get a backing track for this song? please help ! i want to learn it
and the melody. i want to dedicate it to my brother frankie,past away last year of cancer. i know he would love it. please help.
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C - just as emotional as Carlos' and Chester's original song. Great playing, WillieGuitar - you are truely gifted an one of the few guitarist who get the same tone and feeling in every note as Carlos does.
@willieguitars hello willie what boogie do you recomend me to get that santana's tone ? if i go for a mesa lonestar what version do you recomend me ?? thanks in advance :)
@losapolice With or without a Mesa Boogie and PRS, Yamaha, Fender or Gibson guitar, Carlos still sounds unique. The equipment is only part of his sound.
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L - this is truely a beautiful version of the Santana Classic "Somewhere in heaven" - you have the extact phrasing as Carlos has. Lots have tried but few have gotten even cloe to the sound and phrasing of Carlos. You are there, man ! I am a huge fan of Carlos and have been for years. Closing my eyes this sounds just like Carlos himself. Keep posting !!!
Fully agree - few good versions here in youtube (currently best version is by Jetpogs). But would like to hear willieguitars giving his interpretation of the Santana Classic "Song of the Wind".
Roe!!! I have looked EVERYWHERE for this song!!! I just got on here to look for it again, and here you sned it to me!!! Thank you sooooo much!!! Thank you willieguitars for postin'
Carlos en tu Sangre Amigo, Carlos in your Blood but I mean it very positive, you absorbed that style and it will certainly brush off when you do your Improvisations in other Tunes,great playing,greets Victor.
This song as many of his collection is just beautifull... it pulls your heart out from your body and you have done justice to it. Superb tone, playing feel and effects.
Can you please pm me the settings for this beautifull "space reverb", really well timed.
WILLE!! NO1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
