A Guide to Santana's LEGENDARY Guitar Sound

[@5finger4head53]

Carlos Santana has recently become my favorite guitarist. He is who I definitively want to play like

[@Bostoncrocus]

Makes me smile! Great teaching style Marty. You just start playing then tell us about it. You respect our time. Thank you.

[@deanmoloney5059]

Thanks Marty appreciate you brother

[@d3w4yn3]

I don't know how you do it, but you make it look so simple that I'm starting to believe that I can play the guitar! GLORIOUS!!!

[@FenceJumper87]

That's the sign of a good teacher and the sign of someone who has played for a long time

[@Marcellio82]

Gotta love the Katana’s versatility! Great video Marty 👏🏼

[@rabcarroll691]

Awesome as always Marty. The story Carlos tells about Woodstock is hilarious…Anyone that hasn’t heard about the time he wrestled a snake while on stage should check it out 😵‍💫 What a performance it was🤘

[@DodsonDodsworth]

Wow this really helped me playing lead. Till now I was just noodling but this video really helped me. This channel is, and has been one of the best and easiest ways to learn guitar in all aspects....great work. I love this channel..

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks so much

[@GoldtriggerDude]

Great lesson, Marty! That's two things you've done for me recently. 1. I bought a Katana Mk2 100, 2. You taught me how to mix Dorian with minor pentatonic. Muchas gracias!

[@rf9606]

I have been a wanna bee guitar player for years.. have all sorts of guitars and was only able to play single note songs.. I bought a very intense lets just say "Gibson" course that takes you through 18 months and it was difficult at times. Since I have bought and listened to Martys courses for whatever reason I seem to get it now.. Thanks Marty keep up the great work you are inspiring! Ron from GA!

[@btbb3726]

I used to practice the pentatonic positions by putting on music (e.g., Roy Buchanan) and improvising to play along. I started doing this with some Satana music and I found I had to go outside of the pentatonic to play some of the riffs. So I found where the two additional notes were for a seven note scale and found what Santana was doing. I started printing out the pentatonic scale and then added the additional two notes to be ready to go beyond the pentatonic when improvising. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 👍🏻

[@bryantcochran5065]

Carlos likes Dorian and harmonic minor scales. Eas 4:26 y to blend the two, and you can change keys anywhere you desire.

[@itsnick5082]

Only Santana can sound like Santana. He's THAT good

[@ronvalley1973]

Great video. Hey, I'm 68, playing guitar since 72, and recently found out, jimi hendrix, which is heard on he radio every day, could not write or read a stitch of music. I can can read and write tunes, but I've always kind of, been like jimi in my playing, taking it wherever it goes, like garcia did, cheers😂🎉!!!

[@shannonmoore8525]

Man I keep hoping to run into you in San Diego. Please post your next local gig.

[@nickteach757]

bro your camera and lighting in this is fire

[@jcburger733]

Hey Marty, thank you for the latest Santana guitar sound. Greatly appreciated!!!

[@James-ou9hc]

Man , I would love to see the amp setting you used on the Katana

[@joshnorko5586]

Great lesson Marty! Sweet playing there

[@juice5397]

Thats some damned tasty playing!!

[@carpingdownsouth7082]

Where are the amp setting, please do a follow up on how to create the sound !!!

[@davidsawyer6784]

Marty the Master. Thanks for the knowledge and link to Santanas new single. Good stuff.

[@splashesin8]

Love this! Thank you Marty!

[@capndreadful2241]

"Hey what's up guys Marty Shawrts here" believe me I will have these words engraved with me

[@crmolnar1]

I'm sorry, when the title was "A guide to the legendary sound of Santana, I was expecting a guide on amp settings and effects used to actually achieve the sounds. Maybe you could do a follow up video for that. 🤷‍♂️

[@saint.vitus.7775]

Me too. How does he get that creamy sustain id what i wanted to know.

[@normanratliff8683]

Just be happy we have Marty !

[@normanratliff8683]

He’s a tremendous teacher

[@wyattc.]

Yes Santana Marty you’re a goat

[@Alex_Doesnt_Exist]

My own grandfather just hit me with a Marty vid…I ain’t mad

[@jaredgibson7462]

When i was first discovering my love for music at 9/10 years old, Smooth by Santana ft. Rob Thomas had just come out and was a big hit. Still love that song to this day. I've always wondered how Santana makes his guitar sound so Mexican! Would love to hear you speak on that. Maybe touch on Henry Garza from Los Lonely Boys! Thank you for everything Marty!

[@ProbableCauseBluesBand]

It’s Latin influenced, not “Mexican.” 🙁

[@Ficarlos]

It would be awesome if you taught “ Do you remember me” by Santana

[@javiercazares3095]

HI Marty,,turns out that i had the looper pedal order wrong, i saw the Video you did on Home Sweet home Alabama where i can see it, looper at the end (before the Amp) overdrive before the Looper, Thanks Marty for all you .Javier

[@YoureapwhatUsow]

❤❤❤❤

[@waynegram8907]

MARTY, try to make a TOP 10 Santana trademark HABITS lesson.

[@PhillipJackson-rl5ty]

Cool 😮

[@bigtonemalone2921]

SANTANA ❤❤❤

[@jogmas12]

Marty “Carlos” Schwartz

[@carlbaumeister3439]

Nice! BTW, beautiful Epiphone. Is that the 335?

[@MartyMusic]

Yes, it is!

[@riyaaz2089]

Nice lesson Marty, as always, but what settings is the amp on Thanks

[@javiercazares3095]

HI Marty, great lesson on Santana licks + Dorian scale, question how to you separate the looper playback (clean) from you lead playing, do you have the looper on the FX channel? guitar in front of the amp? Thanks Javier

[@MartyMusic]

I'm using an overdrive pedal before the looper in the chain and the amp is on the clean channel the entire time

[@javiercazares3095]

Thanks Marty, @@MartyMusic we love loopers for practice .

[@BlungesBOAH]

Stupid question but can you please make a lesson on the song "i feel fine" from scott pilgrim takes of? (Yes i know that there's a beatles song with the same name)

[@hig4s]

1, why the Epi, where's your Gibson, although for Santana you should be using a PRS. 2. What's the difference, why is it b#7 not a7?

[@jleman8]

Dope flannel what brand?

[@ericgraham8975]

Where's the PRS?? 😊

[@HankIsEsl]

Hey Marty, I know this video is old but i would love to know something, do you know if the p Prs Santana Se is a worthwhile purchase? I’m in the market and would love to know if it’s a smart investment :)

[@ronvalley1973]

I never did get into a band, so my 1972 gibson SG is getting dusty, looks like a jerry garcia guitar, any buyers let me know, I hardly ever play it and use acoustic guitars only. I'm in illinois, up north. cheers!

[@fabianmorales7210]

Santana toma la pua con del dedo pulgar indice y medio el ataque es diferente cuando tomas la pua de forma tradicional

[@4vinylsound]

You need a solid body sg.

[@colinpadley1897]

Nothing like it

[@Mishanindaniil.]

Where i can find backing track?)

[@alex.ortizz]

Tone settings?

[@akwamarsunzal]

Just one word.... Dorian 🙂

[@johnk7147]

Thought you would have dialed in your mark V…???

[@vitulis617]

Not as legendary as the sound of your voice Marty

[@giuseppemartino9783]

I agree with you bro lol 😅😊

[@tiaragoodman2439]

amp settings????

[@roccosantino208]

Dude!! “ A guide to sound like Santana” sorry but that sounds really bad. There is no guide to sound like Santana. Hope you get some views and likes but you don’t make it sound like Santana from any angle.

[@Brinzinator]

Video idea: you should make a video about your favorite solos to play 🙏
