Dumble practice amp, now that's a flex
Yeah, but he's earned the ability to flex, for sure!
Carlos Santana single handedly brought PRS to the top of guitar masses !
The best amp of the world is the one you´ve got
@@janbrenner9488 exactly
Santana : "Sounding like a vocalist is the greatest compliment that a guitar player can ever get"
I couldn't agree more!
For a Lead player. Because a Rhythm player should sound like an Orchestra
@@fernandoreynaaguilar1438or a vocal quartet or sextet
Man, this is absolutely A W E S O M E
Look who it is ahahah
Right?
Oh my....
If my brother saw this comment he’d totally be losing his shit right now lol
"Is that a Dumble over your shoulder?"
"Oh yeah."
He really is heaven and didn't die.
Are you in your studio?
No - this is my living room.
Marco Barosi and what an amp
Holy shit balls. What a score.
I mean, sure. It is. But lets not kid ourselves here too much. Paul Reed Smith certainly helped hook this up and the reason is because Andertons is a major PRS retailer as well as a major musical instruments retailer around the world. I love Lee and those guys Andertons. They've done great things growing this UA-cam channel and in the process getting people inspired to play a lot of musical instruments. However, they sell those instruments and they sell a WHOOOOOOLE lot of them, all around the world, including PRS'.
My mother met Carlos with his band in the 90s when they were touring in Finland - my mum was a guide for the artists at a festival here.
Carlos is the most humble and down-to-earth, just a fantastic guy. The other legendary artists at the festival were always a bit late, just to be diva, and the "main stars" always had limousines whilst the band travelled by bus. Well, Carlos Santana was always on time (usually even before his band) and travelled with the band (a very big band) in the same bus.
He was the total opposite of the stars, of which some treated the backing band like work colleagues and the guides like servants - for Carlos the band were his friends and the guides he treated as equals, as work colleagues.
So if anybody is wondering whether Carlos is only a nice man for the camera - well, I can tell you, he is the most nicest man outside of it.
Thanks ..great story and I believe every word 🙏🏼✊🏼
Oskar And you are probably between 25 ans 30 years of age with a dark complection
@@edigabrieli7864 w...What?
i also choose this guys mom
@@edigabrieli7864 Are you ok dude?
"I like to stay in tune". So do I Carlos, so do I...
Life is a spiritual journey, and every art form expresses that fact in great detail. Carlos is the best guitarist of all time. Long live Carlos.
I was once very fortunate to be checking into the Beverly Hills Hotel for the Grammy Awards and looked over my shoulder only to see Carlos Santana standing there with his guitar slung over his shoulder. I introduced myself and you could not meet a nicer, more open, friendly and genuine guy. He is the real deal. One of the highlights of my life.
That's a sentence I will never be able to say: "I was once very fortunate to be checking into the Beverly Hills Hotel for the Grammy Awards." I don't even go that big in my DREAMS. What an awesome moment!
I was very fortunate to be checking into my email and saw this video posted
Reminds me of when I did stage security for the Grateful Dead for two shows at the Philadelphia Civic Center in 74 . Jerry Garcia was totally down to earth and I had a short exchange with him . Fun memories. I’ve seen Carlos several times over the years and it’s always a great time 😊
One of the last heroes alive. Right up there with Miles, Hendrix, and SRV
Yep, unique sensual sound Samba Pa Ti , Europa , great cover of Peter Green's Black Magic Woman , the Moonflower live album is rapturous.
Lee truly is a superb interviewer. Navigated that “acid” minefield like a consummate professional!
I agree, at the end of the video the vision of mr Santana is complex and can be misunderstood.
But Lee is really great and without correcting Santana he just floting around the subject...
🙏
Acid shouldnt be a minefield
Yeah it’s tough, when a superstar starts recommending trying acid it’s tricky ground. I’m an atheist and have never taken acid, I worry for my playing 😂
one cannot overstate the importance of training......
@@naylor2006 I needed a closeup of Lee's face when he started talking about acid tours 😂😂
I was the chef of the Foundation Room back when Carlos first started his residency in Las Vegas. I had meetings with the chef from House of Blues downstairs and we both smoked so we'd hold our meetings outside the back door, right next to the theater. So our meetings were scored by Santana rehearsals ;) (and 5 minute meetings would last an hour). I was told he loved tuna fish sandwiches and to have them on hand should he pop in after a show looking for a tuna sand. So I slow poached sushi grade ahi in olive oil and made the absolute best freakin tuna fish you ever saw, but he never came up.....:(
His band did though and I tried to get them to eat it so they'd tell him about it but they were too scared to eat his tunafish! So me and my staff ate the best tuna fish sandwiches ever until he went on break. Making new batches and eating the old one every 2/3 days. I still use that recipe and while I don't sell tuna sands, everyone who does try it can't believe tuna can be that good. So thanks for making me create that recipe, Carlos!
Just cover the tuna in basic or Pomace, olive oil. (use any Ahi you can find but not one giant piece, cut manageable sized chunks for your baking dish)
Add a Tblspn Kosher Salt (or not and put the salt when you put the mayo)
Sprig of Thyme, Rosemary, Marjoram and a bay leaf (laurel),
Cover with tin foil and bake at 250*F until the tuna is just cooked through (145*F)
Remove and let cool under wrap, as is.
Make your tuna how you like it once its cooled completely
Break with your hands wearing gloves and finish with a little extra virgin olive oil after the mayo.
you should do a "the captain meets Brian May"!!
That the episode I'd want most
Yeah would be great
Captain meets clapton
Everyone needs to like you're comment
I have a long wish list. Would love to see interviews with Brian May, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.
What a living legend this guy is. Crazy to get your head around the fact that he played Woodstock and is still alive during the 2020 pandemic!
He just emanates chill vibes
capt lee has achieved legitimacy as a interviewer with carlos, congrats youre major league now bro, don't get any better than this sir.
Damn! Next step Jimmy Page. This is fantastic!
His Woodstock performance contains the greatest guitar face of all time. (During “Soul Sacrifice”)
Checked it out. Can only confirm.
High on LSD
@Istvan De Jesús 😎
It is EPIC!!!!!!
Lmao... I can still see his high on what ever it was he had taken that day Face.. 😆 classic
As soon as 'Inner Secrets' was released Carlos instantly became a guitar god for me!!!! It also made me go backwards through his catalog and discover Oye Como Va! Just brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Captain is such a great interviewer. He always humbly asks the question I didn't know I wanted asked.
"I can make a living with my imagination alone" Carlos Santana. When you can say that and back it up....you ARE Carlos. Be Carlos.
When Carlos talked about chills from just one note, I got chills. Music from the heart and soul has no equal. This was an incredible interview!!
Mr. Carlos Santana has traveled the planet, then went through the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere, into the cosmos unknown and came back to us with a wealth of knowledge and insight . We need more people like Mr. Santana, of course that's impossible, so let's all enjoy this GREAT interview and take away many positive vibes. Great job Capt. !
Man, the way he explains his vision as an artist is unbelivable, that is the reazon of why he became a legend, he is just inspiring and he is able to transmit his voice through his guitar. I think that's the most important thing if you're going to make music of any sort, to be able to speak through your music and forget about the tones, money, amps, guitar, etc. just worry about the message you are delivering. I bet that Carlos can grab a bullet strat throug a line 6 spider and make it sound totally magnificent. (sorry for bad english, i could go to google translate but it would be worse).
Thank you Carlos for all the beautiful music and joy you've given us all! Cheers!
without a doubt, the best interview the Captain has ever done! As for Santana, there is no-one better.
This is awesome. Abraxas to me is one of the greatest albums ever. I love Caravanserai, Moonflower and Lotus and the likes of those. And particularly Incident at Neshabur is just some of his best stuff live and has itself massively inspired me as a guitarist.
OMG, I never heard of Sonny Sharrock, but after this interview I spend all day listening to him, WOW so great. I recommend Sonny Sharrock Band at Lucerna Hall Prague.
Thanks, I didn't know how to spell it
That black, purple, and neon Abraxas guitar is insanely gorgeous!
Wow I love how Carlos is not afraid to express his spirituality
Every human from every walk of life should watch this video.
Carlos is a deep, spiritual person. He did a great MasterClass.
Thanks to this interview I have discovered The Doors and Albert King playing together..... wow
That's a good session right there
I discovered Sonny Sharrock - and that Jazz Jam sessions are very strange.
This interview, having seen it for the first time tonight, after the night iv had has literally changed my life in ways I can't even explaine. I wish so badly that I could meet him. iv never heard someone comect with my soul like Carlos Santana has when it comes to music. Just I have no words
Amazing interview! Carlos Santana is one of the guitar heroes in contemporary history and the Captain has done such a fabulous job. I enjoyed every second of this. Well done!
Lee taking notes on how to get Santana's tone 📝: Custom built PRS guitar, Dumble amp, acid.
Actually made me laugh out loud this! 😂
Sound Like Carlos Santana by busting your mind wide open
Carlos has an amazing level of detail in his earlier works.Unparalleled phrasing.
I loved the bit where he was bigging-up acid and other halucinogenics... I can image Lee's arse was giving it beans.
What in the hell does "giving it beans" mean, lol?
@@davecarsley8773 Overly excited. Twitching with nervousness.... He's producing a commercial channel that is watched by all ages and probably didn't want someone advocating the use of psyhoactive drugs so vehemently and repeatedly
A very insightful interview. Carlos is an open soul. Lee is maintains his composure so well in the company of modern musical masters, keeping the conversation flowing ; without the dreaded video conferencing talkover that still plagues that technology. Andertons is building quite an archive of important musical history , with the creators as analyst. In Carlos' case, the creator and the preacher. Well done .
If you're into John McLaughlin and can appreciate a bit of wooden music, then you have to listen to "Friday Night in San Francisco" - an album where John complements Paco de Lucia, a flamenco superstar, and Al di Meola.
Seeing Carlos Santana talking while hugging his guitar just seems so right. Great interview, Captain!
He is my guitar hero growing up. He is such a humble man. Dang it now I have to have that guitar. 🤠🎸
Anderson’s new mushrooms line starting to sell in few weeks 😀. Man Carlos is one in the human history. Got a love the man and the legend. He was and is a man with the vision and the insight. He is the preacher.
Thank you so much for allowing Carlos the opportunity to speak about things most interviewers would consider taboo.Wonderful interview.
Absolutely fantastic to hear such truth, such authenticity from this master; a real true MAESTRO. I'm grateful for Carlos Santana Life, Opus, Music and light . Thanks Captain for making this interview happen!
Wow, what an amazing interview. Can you give yourself chills with one note? Words to live and play by. Love it!
This is just too cool , I've been so depressed lately, this has cheered me up no end , I have tears in my eyes , tears of joy , this man is what you call a legend, thank you for all the cool music , and lee thank you
yeah man, stuff like this is a real picker-upper for me too!
Wow! I remember him after his set running all around backstage with a cowbell being worked on like a maniac during Eric Clapton's set. Was In Vancouver 1980ish. It all makes sense now. This was when he was all in white. What a performer.
As I look out upon the red/grey skies of Marin County, CA - used to be Carlos' home - life has never seemed so bleak...surrounded by fire & ashes...what a treat to see two such superb human beings engage...thank you both...
definitely did not expect to see this in my UA-cam feed this morning!
What brought me out of the devastation of The Beatles breaking up was Santana!! Thank you Captain!
And he made me another one... what a talent Carlos is. Such a genuine man. Giving young guitarsts a platform to develop is key.
The words of Mr. Santana brought me to tears. We talk so often about people being inspirational, but the place Carlos describes is where I want to go. Thank you.
Incredible interview. Eye opening as Carlos is being open and honest...love him so much as his music has carried me thru some hard times. Thanks Captain for this.
he is only guy that i can stand hearing about religion and spirituality from
It's amazing how important the PRS SE line has been to so many thousands and thousands of guitar players,, and we have Carlos to thank. Thank you, Carlos! I'm not going to drop acid, but thank you!
He is not promoting acids, he is talking about indigenous sacred plants like peyote or ayahuasca.
I'm assuming there's only two ways to go from here, John Mayer or Eric Clapton.
Alex Lifeson???🙏
Well John Mayer and Eric Clapton are Capt's two guitar heroes, and as he now seems to have worked his way up the fame ladder to genuine guitar legends, it would not be unfounded to ask either of those two for an interview.
I’d swap out John Mayer for Joe bonamassa
@@Tomekkplk Definitely
@@Tomekkplk So would I, but then again I don't have a studio with a cardboard cutout of John Mayer behind me.
Well you’ve really outdone yourself this time
Love to see captain meets tomo fujita
I stopped the video right after Santana's recommendation, checked this song "Sonny Sharrock - Who does she hope to be?", and what an amazing guitar player!
Goodness me, I can't believe Lee just moved past the fact that Santana said he emailed Clapton to talk about Albert King playing with The Doors. I wonder if that's a common occurrence. Just Santana emailing Clapton lol. Do guitar heros have email threads or group chats?
From what I've read, yes, they do!
Imagine the WhatsApp group chat 😂
Apparently they've been friends a long time. Carlos considers him like a brother.
@@joemorris4424 guitar heroes have 30 messages to read 😂
It reminds me of when I heard that Captain Beefheart and Tom Waits had regular telephone conversations
Top shelf interview by the Captain. Amazing insight into someone that clearly lives and breathes the world into his art
“SANTANA, SANTANA, SANTANA” Magnificent, Majestic and Eternal!!!
This guy is a genious, besides all the spiritual stuff and love for humanity speech he really knows what he is doing in terms of music and all the aspects around it, including how to manage the industry.
I should get a Dumble for my living room
@Greg Heidt like the Dude's rug in the Big Lebowski!!!!
You might have to sell the house to buy it 😅
Ask Robben Ford for his :)
You gotta get one built like mine for much cheaper !
Mines got a tweed fender clean channel with Low gain pre amp tubes and vox's higher gain clean channel with regular modern 12@x7 pre amp tubes and no matter what tubes it's got the dumble over drive channel for the over drive channel ! It's awesome and I paid less than $500 used for mine ! 112 alnico speaker and dove jointed pine cabinet tweed covered freaking tone monster !!!!
Early Santana really was a thing that will never happen again. Powerful powerful stuff.
Living room sounds BIG like the tones he must get in there.
Wonderful ! Thank you Carlos , for tonight , and all the joy you have given me in my 68 years !!! What a great interview !
A very insightful interview. I’m glad Lee didn’t side step the drug references and gave Santana the chance to fully explain, in the most thorough way, how it effects music. I was worried that in these politically correct times Lee may have felt obligated to steer the conversation in another direction. It just goes to prove that this channel is big enough to not be pressurised in to conforming with small minded do gooders. And for the record, I’ve never tried LSD.
Lee is english. No need for PC in Europe.
I took a pile of acid and mushrooms back in the day. We smoked huge hash pipes too. We played all of Santana's records too !
@@carpetcrawler79 Europe is the most PC place there is.
@@51MontyPython maybe you mum
Well said, Iron Guns T!!
I m 65 THAT "IS" the best Carlos Santana interview E V E R ......EPIC.
Thank You. You asked Most Intelligent Musical questions.
Unreal....Lee has gone "Parkinson" level with having Carlos on. Awesome on every level X
I noticed he’s become a twitchy stuttering sweaty boi as soon as he introduced Carlos
I'm just waiting for him to offer my nan a free Parker pen for enquiring about life insurance
Exactly 😂
It's 2023
This interview/conversation was absolutely beautiful and loving. Sometimes humorous
8:00 now thats a good observation, captain nailed it
What a guy, we had tickets for his concert in Amsterdam this year, unfortunately cancelled due to COVID! His music is magic! Than you captain for this interview, loved it
I heard 48% of people didn't get a refund for all those canceled concerts, did you get your money back !?
aunt jenifer we got a credit on our ticket master account, yet to decide fo another event
I have two of the first-gen Santana SE guitars, a blue and red one. I paid $500 for one and $300 for the other on closeout, both brand new. The blue one has been my main player since I bought it in 2001 up until just a few years ago, and I kid you not, I have never touched the setup on it and it's still perfect. I did put locking tuners on it, but it was just for convenience of faster string changes, not because it needed them. I even changed the pickups once to much more expensive boutique ones, but the stock ones sounded better so I swapped them back. It's not flashy, but it sounds fantastic and is rock-solid. It's so solid that it's almost boring -- it just always works, always plays great, stays in tune, never any surprises. The red one is still like new because I bought it as an inexpensive backup but it's never been needed!
Watching Lee's smile at Carlos passionate way of speaking, makes me smile. Carlos ya pelameeeeee moriré en paz el día que te conozca!
They say never meet your idols. So back in the day i played on a mates dance track as a favour and it just happened to get in the charts top ten - fast forward we are on Top Of The Pops and because of the embracement I agree to do it providing I’m in disguise. So there we are and I’m dressed as a Blues Brother miming to this track and Santana is on the sound stage opposite playing three live tracks. Post run through he walks up to me and says “ Great guitar Player”. My gut instinct was to qualify myself and say “ No, Really, I can play!” But I hold my nerve look up at him and say “ Nice hat” he walks off. Crushed! Anyway at least I have the quote! 🤣
he speaks about chills, Europa gives them to me, everything single time.
Me: Oh wow, Andertons got an interview with Santana, how'd they pull that off?
My gf: I hope it went "smooth."
Carlos is a true spirit ! Not everyone can or will understand the journey.
Beautiful interview...I love to hear and learn the background behind great musicians. I love Carlos. May he be healing well from recent heart surgery. Prayers to Carlos. 🙏🎶♥️
Head, chest and belly tones.
That’s why his music is perfect to dance to. 😊 OMG the Gabriel purple guitar is gorgeous.
Thank you both for this extraordinarily beautiful conversation.
It doesn’t go any higher than Carlos! 🙌🏻
A true musical icon of the world. We are blessed with his presence. Great interview.
Adam Lee don’t leave out joe satriani
Captain Lee, the BEST interview I have seen you do. Brilliant to hear!
Thank you very much Captain for that interview. Any interview with Carlos Santana is a master class not only in music and guitar playing but in life itself. He's so much more than just a musician and/or a Rock Star. If you notice, he's not known as a Jazz musician but on basically every interview he never fails to mention two of the most important pillars of that genre, Miles Davis and John Coltrane as his biggest influences.
From the world of Latín music he also mentions two of our biggest stars, band leaders and huge influences on his music. Percusssionist Tito Puente, composer of one of Santana's biggest hits, (OYE COMO VA) and pianist Eddie Palmieri.
In that sense, I suggest you get in touch with Eddie Palmieri (Puente already died) and interview him too. Like Santana, Eddie aside from being a great musician is also a very spiritual human being, a thinker, a well read individual, a historian, a philosopher and a very nice guy too. With a career of more that 50 yrs, between tropical music and Jazz,
Eddie has been an inspiration for generations of musicians.
Check him out. I'm sure your audience will enjoy hearing from him.
this is the most down-to-earth interview with Santana I've seen in awhile...such a likable guy, and a long time hero of mine.
he's certainly given me chills quite a few times in my lifetime!
Awesome! Congratulations Captain!
This was exactly what I needed today. Absolutely beautiful discussion. Thank you.
Wow! Carlos Santana!!!! Total legend! Best interview so far! Carlos is light! Very inspiring! Lee is a great interviewer!
Two months from this, still came back to it. What a great interview. I meet Sonny Sharrock here, it´s amazing. Thx Captain!
Fantastic interview I’ve loved Carlos & his music for years & years. But to get the chance to really hear him talk about it at length is so interesting & inspiring. I’ve just found Sonny Sharrock on apple. He’s right he is amazing if not for this interview I’d never have heard it. Great stuff thanks Captain keep it up . Cheers 🎸
Bukky Leo is good, afrobeat visions is an interesting album.
The greatest Santana album of all time is… Lotus… Jazz fusion… 1973… The sound is awesome it’s recorded and you could hear the natural reverb of the venue they are playing… Everybody listen to the three record set of Lotus
I have the quadraphonic pressing of this album and it’s amazing. I want to score a mobile fidelity pressing. I found a video from that tour here on UA-cam that was really good as well.
He's an amazing man his talent just oozes from everywhere, God Bless
Really great interview, very personal with even stories of usage of substance in music and other artists, great conversation with a living legend.
Thank you for asking all the uncommon questions, this is probably one of the best Santana interview in a while !
Wow! Impactful! Thanks, Lee, for doing these interviews. You're so good at it! Please extend my thanks to Carlos for sharing his heart.
As someone who has experienced psychodelics, I loved how responsible was Carlos's recommendation of doing it with someone you trust, an experienced person. Yet not discarting it
I can’t think of anyone who could have handled this interview with such a great balance of awe and cool. Well done Cap!
Well done Lee, and thank you Carlos for all of the music! Great show in ABQ NM a few years ago, great Masterclass!
Great job Lee, not an easy task interviewing one of the greatest guitarist ever
I LOVE CARLOS
Thank you Carlos for sharing your wisdom. Great interview Captain.
I began listening the Andertons podcast just before the pandemic, and I have yet to listen to a "The Captain Meets" episode without becoming profoundly interested in the conversation. Can't recommend them enough.
