Wonderful tab and video demo... thank you so much for putting this out there. As I will soon turn 70 later this year, I finally get to learn this wonderful tune and take it off my bucket list. It's never too late, as long as you're still alive... and young at heart. Muchas gracias!
Hello and thnx a lot for your visit to my UA-cam channel. You are so correct. It's never too late to start learning. I'm learning every day new things and I've been playing for a long time now. I hope the videolesson and the tabs are clear enough to follow and to learn this great song. If there anything you would like to know about the playing, just ask. All the best. PtG
Thanks for the wise words. I am sitting here at 37, kicking myself that I didn't put more effort into it for the last 10 years but you are absolutely right. Work with what you got and enjoy the journey!
I am another old codger (67) also would love to learn this, I still have the Abraxas album on vinyl and love it. Another superb tutorial/demo, thank you so much.
You have the magic , you sound like Carlos himself at his best , so clean and clear. Your a harmonic link to the soul and you gift us all with satisfying emotions
Just beginning to learn this classic Santana track. I think I have the original vinyl album in my loft from about 1970 I think when I was 21. Excellent guitar playing sir I only wish that I had learnt when I was 21 but hey it's never to late.
I totally agree. It's never too late to learn the guitar or a song. Wish you all the best with learning this great Santana song. Carlos Santana is one of my favorite guitar players! Thnx a lot for your visit and kind comment. Much appreciated. All the best. PtG
Just wanted thank you for this. I've wanted to learn this song since I was a kid, and being able to watch the video and practice during the pandemic has made my life easier. Except for the blues lick at 3:58, I've almost got it all down! Great job and thank you for the video!
Hello and thank you very much for watching my vid and for your kind comment. I'm very glad to read that you can play this great song too now. That lick at 3:58 is indeed a bit tricky but give it some time and I'm sure you'll get it down. All the best. PtG :-)
Very informative and easy to learn, i m 64 now, start learning this it has been 2 weeks and i practice an hour a day and i manage do till 02:08. Hopefully i can finish it end of this month.
Very good playing, I had such a smile on my face watching/listening to this. Been hearing this song on the radio/record/tape/CD/Download for over 40 years and you do it justice. Well played! ✊🎸
I have been watching your video for a couple of years and now I can play the first 3 minutes of it - the rest i just follow along with G - Am chords .. Your skills being able to play this to the end are unreal. Thanks for posting this video with the running tab 🤘 It really helped !!
That's awesome! Thank you very much for your kind comment and I'm glad that you can play along with this great song a large part now. :-)) All the best. PtG
This way you have created this format of playing and showing the music at the same time is very appealing to me as a student of guitar, I subscribed to your channel, thank you!
Thank you. I dig your youtube lessons. I am 62 picked up the Guitar at 55. i have not learned any songs yet.my new years resolution is to learn some songs this year. you are my new guitar teacher . i also became a patron
Hello Mike and thnx a lot! Your support is much appreciated. If you have any questions about the lessons, just let me know via Patreon. All the best and have a great 2022 with lots of guitar playing! PtG :-))
Thank you so much for this lesson. This is a wonderful song. I already have Europa in my busking set list, but one Santana song is not enough. I'm about two minutes thru this one, and I look foward to performing it outside.
PtG,YOU PLAY THAT GUITAR WITH PASSION,FEELING,AND LOVE OF THE GUITAR,PLUS THE LEARNING OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER. YOUR A CREDIT TO EVERYONE WHO WANT,s TO LEARN THE ART OF GREAT GUITAR PLAYING.THANKS FOR KEEPING THOSE 6-STINGS SINGING.😎🎸🔊🎶☮️ BOB.
Now i started learn to play Samba Pa Ti (from beginning to end) and i know its gonna take a little while to play like you PtG. But by looking at you, i will dio it.Thank you for showing us.
Fantastic. I was at Berkeley (Boston) in the late 70s and it was thought by my friends that I had this piece down. Well not quite, and I decided to clean up my act on it a bit tonight on this, you made it much easier for me, this is great. The one comment I can make is that you have oversimplified the somewhat repetitive figure between 3:48 and 3:52, there is actually more going on there, he varies it in a very pretty way in true Santana style there. Other than that its spot on as far as I can tell. Great tone and phrasing.
Hello and thank you very much for your visit to my UA-cam channel and for your great comment. Much appreciated. Hope my lesson will help some things out. All the best. PtG
I have to say that was as good as the original. Brilliant . I have dabbled for the last 23 years with samba pa ti and got nowhere. It is a very difficult piece to play. 👍👍
@@dtownhuztla Thanks for your reply. I do know the Pent scale, and positions. But as of now haven't related this lesson to pentatonic. I thought it might be Dorian, which I know zero about. This lesson is a fun challenge.
I've been trying to learn this classic song for awhile now. I believe that this video will help me to finally conquer it. Thank you my friend for sharing this beautiful song and putting tabs on it. Great performance too! 😎👍👍💯
Hello George and thank you for your visit to my UA-cam channel and kind comment. I'm glad to read that my vid will help you to play this great Santana classic. All the best. PtG 😀
PtG ,EVERYTIME I WATCH AND LISTEN TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL GUITAR PLAYING, IT TELLS ME HOW GREAT OF A SPECIAL MUSICIAN YOU ARE. DON,T EVER STOP PLAYING ,YOUR TOO GOOD.THANKs FOR YOUR TUTORIAL,s.😎🎸🔊🎶☮️ BOB.
Thank you for doing a tremendous job of Santana!!! You are fantastico! I’ve wanted to play this song for at least 20 years. Again I thank you so much for the perfect example of how to play it. I’ve become a subscriber to your sight and will be checking daily. Magnificent
@@PlaythatGuitar You are welcome my friend!You deserve it.Not only are you a great musician you are a true gent!Just think off all the people you have helped and inspired to play better,that must feel great in itself.Hope all your dreams come true!
In relation to UA-cam I have 3 big dreams: 1. to make other (aspirant) guitar players get ethousiastic to pick up the guitar and feel joy while learning and playing the song or solo that they like. (my channel's name and motto) 2. it would be awesome, once one have learned the music part, that he/she can also pass on the knowledge about that part to others who want to play the guitar. So it contributes to greater joy in the world. 3. to stay active here on UA-cam for a very long time and be able to play the guitar every day.
Been watching this for a week -- you got amazing skills -- thanks for sharing and for that TAB .. how many years have you been playing to be able to do this?!?
Hello A P and thnx a lot for your kind comment. I've been playing since I was a little kid. Then join ed various bands and now I'm ready to share everything I've played and learned through the years with you and the world. Let me know if you have any trouble with playing this song. Perhaps I can help you out if so. In the meantime I'm working on Santana's "Europa" in the same style as I did with "Samba Pa Ti". It will be finished in a couple of weeks from now. All the best. PtG 😀
@@PlaythatGuitar .. i have all kinds of problems playing this song but none have anything to do with your video LOLOL .. your video actually both helped and inspired me to learn it .. you make it seem effortless! Keep it up - i just bought a guitar and it has been a lifelong dream for me to play Santana - i figured since i am halfway through life already i better get started, right? Anyway, thanks - those rolling tabs are awesome!
You are correct! I always say to others that it is never too late to start playing the guitar (my channel name's motto haha) Consider this. If you know absolutely nothing at first on the guitar and you start with chord playing, in one year you will be able to master the most common chords and play a whole lot of songs. If you start to jump into the soloing, and you give it enough practise, within 2 years you can play solos. If you do nothing now, over two years you still can't do nothing so you are on the right path with buying that guitar. To make this long story short, perhaps you can start practising my "Black Magic Woman" intro video. It's a shorter piece and especially the slow part is easy to follow. All the best with your playing and practising.
@@PlaythatGuitar .. I will go check Black Magic Woman -- Santana is tough to play (much harder to master) but yes, let's see what happens in a few years from now. I am also interested in 12-bar blues -- chord progression: E7-A7-B7, how to play shuffle, how to solo using the Em pentatonic, boogie woogie (lol) and things like that .. in case you are looking for things to post !! Keep playing that guitar and keep posting those videos ;)
Wonderful. Love this song. I don't know how you remember all those notes but I guess if you know the song well enough. Too long for me even though if love too. You are a great guitarist, thank you.
Hello and thank you very much for your visits and kind comments. Much appreciated! Just start playing a few notes and repeat that. Then step up to the next line of notes and repeat that again from the start. Before you know it you can play a lot of this great song. Thnx again. PtG
Thanks!

I would like to reiterate that, it’s a great song it’s held up this many years for a reason
Thats me too always wanted to learn this song iam. 64 years old and still going, besides there may be no guitars in heaven

Your video and TAB are really helpful for an old guy like me. Thank you.
I saw Carlos play this long long time ago and this is one of the best versions I've ever heard..
Appreciated. :-)
Just saw your Samba Pa Ti video and tab. Both are great. The tab is very nicely organized and easy to follow. Thanks for sharing.
I have been returning to this amazing tutorial. Working on little bits at a time. Struggling with the two string bends. Very inspiring.
Hey thnx a lot and appreciated. Good luck with the two string bends. PtG 😀👍
B H me too, I have arthritis in my hand so I either go higher on the fret or just bend one string .
This song is so hard for me to learn yet so easy would love to play it for my mom this is her favorite song
Thank you for posting this. This is a perfect song for a beginner like myself. Thank you!
Thank you very much for all your tutos. They are clear and easy to understand.
Best I've ever heard besides Carlos !!!!
Thank you very much! Appreciated. :-)

You most definitely can. Just practice the pentatonic scale first

@ 2:44 - 2:45 that "13-12-13" on the G is actually a "12-11-12". Playing is correct, tab is off by 1 fret.
