@santanaincubus Carlos has been playing latin rock since 1960's ;-D but I agree with you that since the successful "Supernatural" album he has been stuck on the "let's invite a few semi-famous people along for some mainstream, radio friendly jam crap" instead of pursuing his own style. "Shaman", All that I am" and "Guitar Heaven" are examples of that. Carlos, stop being mainstream and pursue you own style like you used to.
Oops. Take 2...Was jazzed to see McLaughlin playingbw Santana, so I went to Amazon to order the DVD only to find that he's not on it!! Guess I won't be buying it after all.
@santanaincubus I maybe worng and I think this was recorded at the concert itself. I know that the sound quality sounds a bit off. Maybe its just the camera.
@251dog I think that this was recorded from a television 1:19 shows it. But Im glad Carlos went back to his jazz roots. He kept playing the same repetitive latin rock style in the early 2000s but Iam not saying its bad.
Total Rubbbbishhhh...we are now in the 21st century check out Fractal Audio. Dweezil Zappa uses 2 Fractals live and has done away with all the amps etc that he used to re-create Franks incredible tones from the 60`s /70`s/80`s--Gregg Howe uses one. John Petricci. etc etc.. the list goes on and on and on...
@251dog Wrong! Depends on your style. No electronic device or even solid state amp can rival the tone that comes from vacuum tube saturation. A jazz player that plays 100% clean can get away with not having tubes. But for distortion as in blues, rock and fusion tube amps are the order of the day.
@q2w3bn876 You`l find that John is not using any synths, he has just got his guitar plugged in, and no Synth access.But he runs his guitar through a computer to do away with amps etc With all the tech around these days, like Fractal Audio, there is no need for an amp either in a bedroom or in an arena. BUT what he does have is an incredible muso..
