SAMBA PA TI - Guitar lesson (with tabs) - Carlos Santana

[@mikeanderson1316]

Thanks!

[@raymondlepage1078]

Wonderful tab and video demo... thank you so much for putting this out there. As I will soon turn 70 later this year, I finally get to learn this wonderful tune and take it off my bucket list. It's never too late, as long as you're still alive... and young at heart. Muchas gracias!

[@PlaythatGuitar]

Hello and thnx a lot for your visit to my KZbin channel. You are so correct. It's never too late to start learning. I'm learning every day new things and I've been playing for a long time now. I hope the videolesson and the tabs are clear enough to follow and to learn this great song. If there anything you would like to know about the playing, just ask. All the best. PtG

[@davelackey5943]

I would like to reiterate that, it’s a great song it’s held up this many years for a reason

[@kirklapilio451]

Thats me too always wanted to learn this song iam. 64 years old and still going, besides there may be no guitars in heaven

[@sonkegrewe4111]

Thanks for the wise words. I am sitting here at 37, kicking myself that I didn't put more effort into it for the last 10 years but you are absolutely right. Work with what you got and enjoy the journey!

@ 2:44 - 2:45 that "13-12-13" on the G is actually a "12-11-12". Playing is correct, tab is off by 1 fret.

[@MrTennis88]

Fantastic. I was at Berkeley (Boston) in the late 70s and it was thought by my friends that I had this piece down. Well not quite, and I decided to clean up my act on it a bit tonight on this, you made it much easier for me, this is great. The one comment I can make is that you have oversimplified the somewhat repetitive figure between 3:48 and 3:52, there is actually more going on there, he varies it in a very pretty way in true Santana style there. Other than that its spot on as far as I can tell. Great tone and phrasing.

Very accurate transcription, thanks a lot for sharing. I'm thinking of playing this song on my wedding. That index and ring finger bending is killing me though. Any master tips, besides practice practice practice? Thanks !

[@PlaythatGuitar]

Hello and thnx a lot for your visit and kind comment. Much appreciated. :-)) About the bendings, try bending with 2 fingers. The ringfinger for the note and the middle finger behind your ring finger for additional support while bending the string. It gives you more stability and also helps playing a vibrato better while bending. Good luck. PtG

[@PlaythatGuitar]

Hello A P and thnx a lot for your kind comment. I've been playing since I was a little kid. Then join ed various bands and now I'm ready to share everything I've played and learned through the years with you and the world. Let me know if you have any trouble with playing this song. Perhaps I can help you out if so. In the meantime I'm working on Santana's "Europa" in the same style as I did with "Samba Pa Ti". It will be finished in a couple of weeks from now. All the best. PtG 😀

[@AZ-FPV]

@@PlaythatGuitar .. i have all kinds of problems playing this song but none have anything to do with your video LOLOL .. your video actually both helped and inspired me to learn it .. you make it seem effortless! Keep it up - i just bought a guitar and it has been a lifelong dream for me to play Santana - i figured since i am halfway through life already i better get started, right? Anyway, thanks - those rolling tabs are awesome!

[@PlaythatGuitar]

You are correct! I always say to others that it is never too late to start playing the guitar (my channel name's motto haha) Consider this. If you know absolutely nothing at first on the guitar and you start with chord playing, in one year you will be able to master the most common chords and play a whole lot of songs. If you start to jump into the soloing, and you give it enough practise, within 2 years you can play solos. If you do nothing now, over two years you still can't do nothing so you are on the right path with buying that guitar. To make this long story short, perhaps you can start practising my "Black Magic Woman" intro video. It's a shorter piece and especially the slow part is easy to follow. All the best with your playing and practising.

[@PlaythatGuitar]

I meant "still can do nothing". Typo. 🙃

[@AZ-FPV]

@@PlaythatGuitar .. I will go check Black Magic Woman -- Santana is tough to play (much harder to master) but yes, let's see what happens in a few years from now. I am also interested in 12-bar blues -- chord progression: E7-A7-B7, how to play shuffle, how to solo using the Em pentatonic, boogie woogie (lol) and things like that .. in case you are looking for things to post !! Keep playing that guitar and keep posting those videos ;)

[@bh8365]

Awesome. I will be happy to just (attempt to) play a tiny fraction of this. Tabs. Yes.

(my channel's name and motto) 2. it would be awesome, once one have learned the music part, that he/she can also pass on the knowledge about that part to others who want to play the guitar. So it contributes to greater joy in the world. 3. to stay active here on KZbin for a very long time and be able to play the guitar every day.
