May be in western music playing very near to the original makes a lot,but in the case of real music its always the many variations that one can bring that counts,so it would enhance the pleasure of the listener !
beautiful!!! it's so fun to see somebody playing with such a pleassure! I'd like to share my video with you brother, just put Santana Tribute band Jose Alvarez on guitar, that's me, you have a wonderful live bro'!!!
Modern day musicians would give a testy to play like this, too bad our modern day musicians can't appreciate beautiful tunes such as Bella, from Santana. Raised on Santana; untouchable!

Your obviously a very good guitarist... do you write any of your own material? What makes Carlos and other top players great is the fact that they are the ones others try to copy, without people like him there would be no new music around. I sincerely mean no disrespect to you, your rendition is outstanding and very enjoyable, i would just like to hear you.. your own style, that would be nice, after all, you do have the talent...much respect.
No one can out do a legend. But thanks for the your kind words! I deeply respect and admire the man because he proved that music is everything to him!!! Peace...Wil
I also used Santana picks to get the whole 9 yards but it's not easy playing with picks like that, but it does produce that special attack on the strings.
The secret in the Tone and Melody is the PASSION of the performer. Willie is such a performer. To close one's eyes and listen with your heart is to hear that PASSION resonate.
I never had the plasure of seeing Mr. Carlos Santana playing live but you are the best guitar player for his music that I ever seen and listening to. Wow, what a treat!
This is a really EXCELLENT COVER. Superb effects, great timing and Spot-on tones. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR BIG TALENT my friend.
