Santana Style Latin Rock

Me playing a Latin Rock song on electric guitar in the style of Carlos Santana. This song is comprised of two tracks - rhythm and lead. Recorded using an Axe-Fx Ultra multi effects processor through an M-Audio ProFire 2626 into my laptop. I used one of the presets that included Carlos Santana's name for my tone settings. Feel free to express your thoughts on the song and my playing, thanks!

Way to go Karl

[KarlMarkis]

@guitarguy10000 Thanks for the feedback Jay, yea I am still working on avoiding sharp and flat notes when I play chords and bend strings. I've been experimenting with using a hair scrunchie on the neck, near the nut to mute strings when I play lead lines on a high gain setting to avoid unwanted noise, and then sliding the scrunchie past the nut to allow me to use open strings for rhythm. Have you tried this before?

[timmyguitarmoore]

nice ideas but your rhythm isnt quite there yet :)

[KarlMarkis]

@timmyguitarmoore I've seen your videos and you have a nice sense of rhythmic phrasing, it is clear you draw inspiration from jeff beck. Thanks for the feedback!

@KarlMarkis - I've never used a hair band myself. I can see it's use for lot's of tapping passages, but not for lead playing. If you look at my video from 1:05 onwards /watch?v=bH9tEmv5RNY you'll noticed EVERY note is picked on the long run that ends with a whammy dive. I cover all six strings, and there is no string noise. It's a combo of half palm muting, and 1st finger muting that occurred naturally from practicing so much.

need to be a bit more accurate on your bends as they are a bit sharp or flat. nice overall. you did ask for comments ;)

[KarlTeachesGuitar]
