Flor D'Luna (Moonflower) - Santana cover by Xavier

(c) fair use. All the rights derived from this recording belong exclusively to its authors / right holders.
This is my take on "Moonflower", which is possibly the first song I ever learned on guitar. Carlos Santana was the reason why I first got a guitar !
As usual, I have also made the backing track , since I hate midi files !!
Last year I bought a Yamaga SG2000, that you can see me playing in the video, so now I have a Yamaha SG like Carlos had back in the day !!

Yamaha and Mesa.... Best sound ever Great job maestro

Excelent cover and great sound. I got a SG2000 myself. Best Santana piece of gear ever.

[@miguelnava3911]

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks.

[@juanjoseespejo5589]

The most beautiful cover I have ever heard. Congratulations

[@carl_anderson9315]

For a long time I thought the songbook was wrong. However, after watching Carlos Santana playing live I realized it was right. Anybody who plays guitar will assume the notes of the main riff should be played using an extended scale, moving up and down from the 7th to the 15th fret. However the awkward hand placement, between the 12 and the 15 frets, makes me notice Carlos avoids playing the 1st string and and opts for the warmer sound of the 2d, 3D, 4th and 5th strings.

[@dannycar25]

whoa interesting

[@sergiomolina2625]

Excelente, el sonido si no igual, casi el mismo. Técnica depurada, un respeto total por el tema original. El mejor sonido de Santana es el de esa época.

Excelente ejecución de guitarra la que hace este cuate, y nada mejor que interpretando ese gran tema Flor de Luna del gran guitarrista de rock mexicano Carlos Santana. Saludos desde Jacó, Costa Rica, aunque soy cien por ciento nicaragüense.

[@DaveDickens]

Excellent!

[@Jkaterchannel]

You play fantastic. Great chops. Can it be that you tweaked your compressor a little strong on the attack? It’s pumping a bit but that’s maybe a matter of taste.

[@antonio.cappelli]

Great!

[@devadiponeness]

Good cover ! Xavi, please, is this guitar a SG2000 reissue or one of the first models of the 1970-80 years ?

[@MalcaratMartinez]

2008 reissue bought in Verona, Italy !!

[@devadiponeness]

@@MalcaratMartinez Oh! I live in Rome.....so...did you change the pick ups or they are the original as bought? I'm going to purchase a reissue 2010 but I would like to know the main differences between the reissue and the first models ..Do you know ?

[@devadiponeness]

Anyway I know that it is difficult to play the SG standing up due to its weight (4,2 Kg)....even if a PRS Santana is 5 Kg !!! And Carlos changed the SG for the PRS.... mah...

[@michaelwong1705]

Wow soooo grovvy sound! What scale are you using? Fantastic voicing. Keep the good legend music coming. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀

[@MalcaratMartinez]

I just tried to play like the original....no idea, but Carlos tends to use the Dorian mode a lot....thanks !

[@pakulon]

YAMAHA SG very nice

[@velvettongue]

[@pedroamaro7784]

ERES UNA CHUCHA CUERERA.... BIEN EJECUTADO....

[@musichouseguitarsarnoldsmi5384]

Very nice playing The sg 2000 was on my wish list for years and a few months ago i got one in immaculate condition! Now,next to my custom shop strats its my favourite player!

[@MalcaratMartinez]

Same here...... all my life wishing for one.... 2 years ago I was in Italy on a business trip and I went to this store in Verona...they had 3 of them !! (A 1000, a 2000 and a 3000 !!). My jaw dropped to the floor..... one week later I had the 2000 home. Yes it's a keeper !! Changed the pickups though. Didn't like the stock ones and put Duncans on it.

[@andreamuchetti4932]

What pick up did you put on it? 59 and custom or what?

[@azizbelakhovski7763]

Yes good music....can you tel me please wich pedal effect you use ?

[@jeffwisener1378]

[@jorgeluiscisneros9815]

Great. Please, set up?

[@alessandrocerioli2151]

Is that a Yamaha SG 2100 with Spinex pickups?

[@MalcaratMartinez]

No, it's a 2000.... I changed the pickups.

[@alessandrocerioli2151]

@@MalcaratMartinez thanks, what did you chooseI have a 2000 with stock alnico V humbuckers that I like and a 3000 woth Spinex that I don't like much.
