For those who don't know, this kid could already play Pat Methany jazz licks at that age (7), so this song was just a warm-up for him by then. He is 16 now (in 2016) and is the youngest artist ever to be sponsored by Gibson Guitars. So for the many commenters who mentioned it: Yes, he now has an electric guitar. ;)

I have always maintained that Santana is the greatest and most original guitarists in the world. No matter where you are, or what you're listening to, you can always identify that unique Santana sound. I have never heard anyone else ever be able to make it.

U're so right, Santana has a "unique" stamp on his music compositions, which I love it! More over, it's a music for all generations to come! Greetings,

Music critics have all agreed that you can't whittle down the world's greatest guitarist to 200 people. It's like saying this one food is the world's best food. Sure Carlos Santana is great but have you heard Jeff Beck. The tone, riffs, phrasing, bending and expressiveness of Beck playing the song "People get ready." I could go on but it's like great foods. Beck is also master of the whammy bar. Andres Segovia is so fast he can make his classical guitar sound like falling rain. George Harrison is a master of slide guitar. Neil Young can make the harmonics on his Gibson Les Paul sound like crying seagulls on the song "Like a Hurricane." Eric Clapton is a master of the double stop and phrasing. Dave Gilmour can make you almost feel like he's playing on the shore watching a boat in the ocean in the song, "Comfortably Numb" I could go on. I hope this kid doesn't give up guitar as great guitar solos are disappearing in the world full of talentless DJ, rappers and autotune.

Totally agree with you on his fantastic, unique, original and distinctive sound! But you need to listen to more guitar players, there are others who have achieved and developed their recognizable style too.
