Solo section #1

Take note of the scale patterns being used, and also the bent notes..  Also take note of the chords written above the leads.  Those chords represent what guitar 1 is doing as you solo, which of course as I always say is equally as important as the leads...

Rhythm break

This is just a rhythm section for practice.  After all these are lessons, and there's more to playing guitar than just leads.  This rhythm break along with the interludes should be get you used to the Latin feel used on this example track..  This is a similar riff to what the bass plays in Black magic woman blended with the general vibe of the verse riff in a classic VH tune off of the Balance CD.

Solo #2

Same scale in use, but this time it's more traditional to a later era Santana..  Also note that for the jam track this one comes right in out of the riffing below..

The Club Tropicana interlude and breakdown

I talk about feel and timing on the video lesson.  This is here not unlike the other rhythm sections to get you used to the Latin feel of this piece...  See video for help with the accents, and remember to be very loose with these chord hits and riffing...

 

         

**Treble or Bridge pickup was used....

Outro

We revert back to our song opening for this outro with the exception of the ending riff..  3 guitar parts are in play again.  Only the lead part is tabbed below, since the rhythms are the same as they were in the song intro...  See video for added lesson of course...

*Muted trem picking trick...  See video for tips..  Be sure to mute or deaden all strings, and alternate between muted hits and non-muted on the pitch indicated below in the tab...

//// = Trem or speed picking..

Ending Riff

This again will be good practice on the JAm TRack for Latin feel and timing..  Watch the ending two chord hits.  They're not straight eighth notes..  They're two 16th note hits with an eighth note rest. 

In other words instead of counting the final ending two chord hits as (1) (&), and hitting on both the 1 and the & of 1.  You count the final chord hits as (1) (&) (uh), and you hit on the (1) and the (uh).
