  • One of my favorite Santana songs. I play by ear and am considered a keyboard player that plays guitar out of necessity. Not trying to copy Carlos exactly. This is my version. I made the backing track entirely on my Yamaha MOXF6 keyboard. No software. I played every track myself directly onto the keyboard using a click track. I'm using my left handed Gibson 63 ES-335 block VOS guitar

      In the meantime, I will be posting some of my repertoire of songs. You'll never know what I will come up with. I have nearly 1000 songs that I've sequenced over the past 30+ years. Stay Safe. hopefully, we'll get back to business as usual.

      Yeah, I don't post much between November and April because my solo career is pretty busy. I wished I could sit at home and post videos every other day like all the youtube guys do, but it just doesn't pay enough for me to quit my job. I make too much doing my solo act. I use these videos mainly for advertisement for the people who are interested in booking me. That is why there is such a variety of style on my 2 youtube channels. Thank you for watching my videos. More to come this summer.

    Do you play all of the instruments on this song? Very well done.I know it takes years of dedication to get to this point.

    • @leftyjaysmith

      Yes, all the songs I post on youtube are my own tracks. I've been making backing tracks since 1987 when I started my solo career. I've created these songs on my Yamaha MOXF6 keyboard workstation. I dont use software. I just use a click track and lay down the drums, then bass, then piano/organ or whatever is needed. I make sure I leave a hole in the track so my guitar or keyboard playing fits and fills the song. Thanks for watching!

    That organ sound blends in well. Which preset was that? On The Road? And the bass?

    • @leftyjaysmith
      @leftyjaysmith  9 місяців тому +1

      I bought the Ksounds Organimation download that uses the internal organ voices in the motif/moxf and fixes the leslie cabinet sounds. I pieced the organ tones together to get that tone. Really, all my sounds I use has been edited a bit from the original. I'm also using an edited version of the finger bass with a slight bit of pick bass added. concert piano comes in when I take the main solo's so there is no drop out when I change from rhythm to lead.
