    Carlos Santana, meticulously thumb-picked on four nylon strings with supreme agility & accuracy. You certainly are a great talent, Kris Fujichami. The backdrop mountainous green nature compliment the environmental acoustics and your natural skill on your instrument. You are much admired and respected. With humble gratitude for sharing your talent with us.

    Great shift to electric guitar sound towards the end as you paid homage to Carlos Santana, without overpowering the earlier sound of the ukelele. Fantastic performance.

    I also think the backing musicians did a fantastic job for the piece. Their names and instruments deserve to be mentioned in the "about" section. This should be a policy for all HiSessions recordings. I love this recording initiative and look forward to seeing more. You have a very keen fan of HiSessions here!!
