any jackass that says ry cooder is better than carlos santana has no understanding of music at all. Neither are better than each other they have different styles that equal in their own personal interpretation and how they deliver it. Learn your music or better yet feel your music! asshole comments from jackasses!
@ryreinhardt The thing is, Lightnin Hopkins only played in two keys and most of his songs sound the same. John Lee Hooker also Albert King only played about 5 notes.. But that is their style and they are still legends.
Minimalism can be effective.
But Carlos did some seriously intricate things with John McLaughlin ..consider "Flame Sky".
Terrific performance. I really can't believe the petty sniping comments going on here about this number. Carlos Santana a 'one trick pony'? Really. Ry Cooder is one terrific guitarist and a musician's musician. Carlos Santana invented a new genre. I heard him play in '68, 69 (small crowd in Bethel for that one) '85 and again in '88. He can tear the roof off a concert hall or have you crying with the notes he puuls out of that guitar. One trick pony. Indeed.
Yeah ,I guess everbody does it better than 'poor ol Carlos' but then here's a man who broke latin into rock mainstream and plays the groove-always rather than worrying about shredding his ass off every night.I 'd go for a groove player first anytime.
@oceanplanet602 c`mon guys, be wise! both santana and cooder are the masters of their fields and unique each one in his style. Not everyone must be a Henrix or a Clapton, though that`s the matter of taste too))
@omerthekat I couldn't teach cooder anything ... he can play just about anything unlike the one trick pony that is Santana....he has not progressed one bit in 40 yrs.
poor ole Carlos only knows how to play in minor keys - hardly ever plays a chord can't sing, never touches an accoustic guitar and all his stuff sounds the same - stuck in rut!!
@ryreinhardt carlos is the only guy who won 8 grammys for one album except michael jackson , and if you think his playing always sound the same you should listen some of his early stuff(abraxas,moonflower etc.),and don't talk trash about him,he is the reason i've decided to start playing guitar 6 years ago
@johnydeltablues Totally agree, he's a legend, I have all his albums and I listen to them every single day. I like Oneness : Silver Dreams Golden Reality, this album comes from the sky.
@johnydeltablues CARAVANSERAI, BORBOLETTA, SWING OF DELIGHT,WELLCOME ETC ETC ETC AND ETC!!! THANKS!!! CARLOS SANTANA IS THE ONE!!!!!!!UNIVERSAL MUSIC!!!!!

@taildragger53 It's what's called a pentatonic scale. Great for blues but you can't play the melody for Mary Had a Little Lamb with 5 notes.
BlundeePoocus 3 months ago
@BlundeePoocus Yes, thank you.
I'm familar with the pentatonic scale/mixolydian mode plus all others scales modes..
I teach jazz guitar in the Wes Montgomery style. Have played guitar since 1968.

Ry cooder shuts the stage down!!!! What taste! What technique! What a guy!
Santana really shines though when he gets that shaker out. I think he missed his calling there.
