The Origin of Carlos Santana's Guitar Sound - The Living Room Tour: Episode 1 | Bang & Olufsen

[@Alfalfa_Male]

People are flowers, music is the water, I am just a hose. - Carlos Santana

[@warefairsoda]

When he said that I totally lost my farts.

[@yaguarete79]

He described how I've been perceiving music all my life. Truly genius and humble.

[@azizguessab8448]

He just don t want to answer to question where is the sound come from :0 so he said that

[@azizguessab8448]

He never anser to this question.....a secret

[@mattekudasai8249]

Very similar ideology to Robert Fripp, just different phrasing, 2 of my favorite guitarists

[@danielvitalis1858]

Definetely one of the most impressive guitarrists in the world

[@NisseOhlsen]

Definitely one of the most impressive commercials in the world

[@johnkenniff3506]

No he is not

[@philadelphian7814]

Lol yeah ok​@@johnkenniff3506

[@michaelthomas366]

When Carlos said: " Everything comes from God and returns to God." My eyes couldn't take it.

[@paydro248]

You will never get a simple answer from Carlos. Very poetic in his response.

[@charleshill9649]

Love how Carlos has always acknowledged and embodied the spiritual aspect of music. Duane Allman has always been a favorite of mine, and he also had the spiritual aspect to his playing. From around '68 until Duane's death in late '71 they must have crossed paths. I wonder if they jammed? Never heard or read Carlos discuss Duane (or Dickey). Bill Graham ever book them together at Fillmore West or East. Always thought Carlos' rhythm section and Allman's had similar, perculating rhythm.

[@motowngirl5891]

I never saw or heard anything about them meeting Been of fan of both of them since their inception

[@MrRRHHMM]

and May The Power Of God's Pure Love Bless Santana, and All Of Humanity.. ''Everything comes from God and returns to God."

[@jjinglenuts]

My favorite Artist since i was 10 yrs old.

[@rosemaryaldana6700]

From the gift of God. Love the music and sound Carlos Santana makes on his guitar

[@Renhjarta]

Wonderful to hear Carlos play with a deep clean guitarsound. Wish he would do that more often. It sounds beautiful! He used Fender amps a lot in the beginning. They have him a little less saturated sound and a little more dynamics. Which really suits his playing and voice.

[@timwhite5562]

Sebastian Öström Yeah, you van always tell it's him, because no matter what he plays it sounds so compressed that it sounds like everything else he's played for the last 35 years

[@domi8653]

Doesn't this saturation come from Tube Screamer?

[@daviddoyle4516]

Carlos played thru 2 Fender Super Reverbs in the late 60's and some kind of booster gizmo the size of a matchbox that plugged in direct to the Gibson SG ,,that was a gig at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino. Randy California of Spirit used the same booster,,,sorry guys cant remember the name but they sold millions and everybody had them,,,

[@dingalarm]

@@daviddoyle4516 Just a guess...was it the Electro-Harmonix LPB-1 (Linear Power Booster) ?

[@jimmymurphy7789]

@@dingalarm I was just going to say the same. I had one back then, too but plugged into the front of my Twin Reverb. Really gave it a good Boost, too. The little Match Box thing Randy used, plugged directly into to his guitar was a Jordan Boss-Tone (Fuzz Box). I had the use of one too, but opted for more of a natural "cranked amp" overdrive at the time.

[@krusty6246]

They make a great combo!

[@DoriTarta54]

Carlos Santana Grande cuore....ha influenzato molto il mio modo di suonare, Ciao Carlos!!!

[@chaseofori-atta2225]

This was a great interview with the original genius, Mr. Carlos Santana!

[@oscarsantanaoz]

"VIVA SANTANA"

[@stevemorse108]

Cosmic Carlos is so sincere it is inspiring.

[@AngSingha]

Carlos gets philosophical with every answer that you wonder if he knows how to be direct anymore

[@jacoboreyes3160]

What you can do is learn from those words of wisdom, you see...

[@notimetowaste1254]

A True Living Legend if there ever truly One existed!

[@smkh2890]

At 1:10 Wyclef says "two pickups, right? " pointing at the two knobs. But they are not individual volume controls, unless Carlos has changed things. One is volume,. one tone. I play a PRS Tremonti and another PRS copy with Santana II pickups. Carlos has always been a great inspiration both in his style and personality. Read his autobiography!

[@energyasylum997]

Wyclef: “How did you get your (guitars) sound?” (Usually meaning what type of guitar or gear a guitarist uses that create their sound.) Santana: (He could’ve answered… a this guitar or that amp.) “(Instead he recites poetry. LOL.)……………..” BUT CARLOS SANTANA IS NO MERE MORTAL, THE MAN IS SUPERNATURAL!!! Y que vive Carlitos Santana!! El maestro de nosotros guitaristas/musicos de todo el mundo!! Viva Mexico, Viva la Raza, God bless us all 🌎 🙏🏻🇲🇽🤘🏾✊🏿💪🏽👌🏼✌🏼!! From the words of Ol’ Carlos:LET THE MUSIC SET YOU FREE

[@michaelallard2640]

Yeah, I was waiting to hear about a Mesa Boogie or some pedal ... maybe it's a secret LOL !

[@StephenOshea]

lovely video indeed

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

Well as usual nine of this tells us how he gets his sound .... ie Amps, guitar playing, pickups, effects etc ! And I've been a fan since 1969' 🎶

[@leodorian]

love the song at the end!

[@dominiquepicot6402]

whats is the song?

[@matthewsantana4995]

My last name is Santana, I play the guitar a bit, my moms name is Maria and we’re from the west coast (his song Maria Maria), I wish he was related I wish so badly. I always have been a fan but i became obsessed when I went to a flea market and found his vinyl “Shango” album and it’s been my favorite out of my entire collection, and I have quite a few. Since then, I am always searching for his vinyl. I wish he was my tio 😢😢

[@mikechagpya8287]

San Francisco's Music scene in the Early sixties was very inspiring for Carlos as a young teen , downtown you could see Miles Davis around the next corner was the ventures or Tito punete and his group , every weekend was a listening sensation that absorbed in his DNA

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

Carlos is right, those blues guys where pure and authentic, muddy waters, Budy Guy, B.B.King all had their personal sound and knew how to jam and fit in. Carlos also has his distinct sound because he made the journey inside and pulled out his music and sound, ofcourse influenced by the blues and latin ( african) rhythms.

[@winaung7799]

Everything comes from God and everything returns to God. I love that. 🙏🙏🙏

[@mecagoenlaluna]

Yeah, Carlos, That's great and everything, but in what number do you set the knobs?

[@catewalton6204]

OMG...beautiful. 😊

[@Garigatzu]

Bien espiritual Carlos Santana... ¡Me gustó eso! Gracias B&O.

[@bcancun123]

Goosebumps at the very end

[@zovalentine7305]

❤ Carlos Santana ❤ 🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏

[@TheTaterCowgirls]

The GK growl of the amps he uses is part of the sound, definitely, the long lasting ringing of the guitars. Nobody could build an amp like that in 1968 except Bob Gallien.

[@harryr3ful]

If Carlos can play Delta blues as well as he did at the beginning, why hasn't he made a blues CD?

[@EarlSundance]

or a acoustic CD?? haha! Viva la Santana

[@joshuajarod1909]

Look up Blues for Salvador.

[@renatosarabia9574]

Wow what the hell did I just watch bro!!???? This should be the biggest thing people watch on the internet right now.... inspiration, musical vibes, it's the essence of everything that's vibration.....if people only thought like this again.....wow he's just a blues hippie with a mission to love and free the world....where the hell is part 2?

[@carljunel6322]

everything comes from God , evething returns to God . that gives me more motivation in serving God

[@frantecar]

I liked to hear that... it is my feeling about the music of Santana!

[@yaguarete79]

That's right. You listen to it, and you feel instantly connected with everything in Universe. It can make you jump in joy, or break into tears. Only talented artists can move people's feelings like that. It's like some people say: they just have the gift. You can learn to play an instrument and actually come to do it awesomely, and that's great; but some musicians will stand out from the crowd. Those are the ones who are blessed with the gift.

[@beleloy808]

🙏 amen

[@az-tuc]

When he says God he means Satan

[@flyingstratosurfer6285]

And God is a nice guy. He lets you enjoy music even when you don´t believe in him.

[@emgex]

"where does your sound come from?" Santana: "do you believe in god?"

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

..we sing and play our sorrows away.

[@kevinallison2227]

Santana’s mom saw me playing in a bar in Tijuana, and she brought him over,” says Bátiz, who was around 15 at the time. “She knew Santana wanted to play like me. I shared everything I know from my guitar to him.”

Does anyone know where I can get the top my man Carlos is wearing?

[@24AnVRodri]

Who would be the closer for a concert containing: SRV, Santana, Clapton, Hendrix, Mayer??!!?? Would’ve loved to see something like this!!!

[@trinacogitating4532]

Eric Gales. Or Kingfish. Or both. :)

[@moustachio334]

*shitty raspy voice* your body's a wonderland". Yea that would be a shit closer

[@moustachio334]

Ernie Isley is the correct answer

[@tabvalentino]

Carlos Santana is a poet even when he speaks.

[@JazzgutsVGvanKampen]

I really had to laugh with term " Disposable soundbite" a very consumer-like term just like throwing away an empty tube of toothpaste. And we all know exactly what the Godfather Carlos means with that statement.

[@Mexxx65]

Having researched the History of Paul Reed Smith guitars and their import copy PRS recently. I find it amusing when Wyclef here asked Carlos 'This guitar is what kind of model? .... and Carlos turns his head to the headstock of his guitar as if to read it, and then answers 'Yeah it's a Paul Reed Smith ....... NOWHERE on HIS Signature model USA made Paul Reed Smith guitars ..... Does it actually have a logo that says Paul Reed Smith on it .... anywhere !!!! .... a little known fact. Edit: Paul Reed Smith is written on the back electronic pot cover, on the Production models.

[@RVDL]

What is that last song Wyclef & Santana play at the end?

[@bangolufsen]

Hi R1ck, That would be Devine Sorrow - Wyclef Jean. We hope this helps! Kind regards, Bang & Olufsen Customer Care

[@dwayneaguiar1148]

The sound comes for God Amen brother and you.

[@andrefjbernardo]

1:30

[@timwhite5562]

This is the first time in 30 years santana doesn't sound like he's playing through 6 compression pedals. I don't know when he decided sustain is more important than anything else, but it definitely isn't. I listen to Samba PA Ti and wonder where that guy went. He has so much touch and feel, I don't know if it's the Boogies, or the PRS with the short 24 1/2" scales, but his tone has gotten so overly round and compressed, that there's no life to it anymore. People say you can tell it's Carlos Santana within the first couple bars of a song, and it's true, but only because it sounds like everything else he's done. He should go back to the Dumble and an SG with PAFs or P90s for a while, get some dynamics going again.

[@gregcorbett7126]

tim white the "Boogies"???

[@frantecar]

Ray Segura I have (Thnx God!), SG, Les `Paul Standard and a PRS and a DC2 Mesa Boogie. Until now, the Standard is still the definitely sound of Santana!

[@XMetalChefX]

He doesnt want to take his $15,000 origin as l Dumble on the road anymore. He has been using Mesa and prs way longer than he used fender and gibson. Supernatural speaks for itself in its accomplishments. The man has serious soul in his playing. ALL guitarists have similar scale patterns and modes they use that make them kinds sound the same. From blues to metal that is true. Santana is a blues guy so he is always using blues scales to improv.

[@NocyMusic]

Carlos does what he wants to do he knows what he wants he is in control of his life and music when you get to this level you are respected

[@pierrepierre8920]

Is God a pedal?

[@uiu510]

For me is Hendrix and Carlos.

[@NORMIES_GET_OUT]

How do you get your tone? *Proceeds to explain nothing about his tone* Love Santana though.

[@davidholden4543]

Sound comes from 3 main places: 1. The player 2. The instrument 3. The sound system The player in the case is a master. Much of that distinct sound comes from the fingers. ❤

[@cemalcakr5609]

nobody play guitar like him *, l like Gary Moore Ricky blackmore too very melodic

[@oskyperez4989]

In the world there were and are very good guitarists, call yourselves, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix, etc, etc, etc, but from there they did not pass, in several years they will to listen to a recording and they are going to ask, what good guitarist? Who is he? - But when listening to an album by Carlos Santana, they will immediately identify him, because C. Santana belongs to the small group of musicians who have created an inimitable and unrepeatable style, Carlos Santana stood out above all of them and that is why he is recognized worldwide En el mundo había y hay muy buenos guitarristas, llámense, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix, etc, etc, etc, pero de ahí no pasaron, en varios años van a estar escuchando una grabación y van a preguntar, ¿qué buen guitarrista? ¿Quién es él? - Pero al escuchar un disco de Carlos Santana, inmediatamente lo identificarán, porque C. Santana pertenece al pequeño grupo de músicos que han creado un estilo inimitable e irrepetible, Carlos Santana se destacó por encima de todos ellos y por eso es reconocido mundialmente

[@lastdaysguitar]

Definitely the majority of the magic is in the way he plays, it comes from his hands and his spirit... but Carlos never sounded better than when he played a Gibson L6-S or especially a Yamaha SG. Those PRS's just do not hit that glorious blossoming tone... been a fan of his for over 50 years, but the PRS's just sound "deadened & muffled" and not in ANY aspect in a good way - his playing was still amazing, but his tone became dull like someone threw a quilt over the amp. This is the reason I've steered clear of the "jack of all trades" guitar.

[@Rhythmicons]

Those must be some good sounding pickups if God wound them.

[@aaronbrown0417]

Carlos is very much a hippie lol

[@kevinallison2227]

Javier Batis had the original sound and Carlos took it from there. Many believe Santana does not give Batis credit. If you listen to Batis you can hear where Carlos learned his sound.

[@Ramsworldwidevolg]

Jai Hind Santana!
