Speaking of Dumble Oldslowhand, if I recall correctly your last post O so many moths ago was agreeing with me that Boutique Clean model on the VOX AD**VT is a great model.
It's good to see you post again.
How do you fancy a lesson or two from Carlos Santana
http://www.santana.com/frameset.html
You need to click on the tab players -click tab musicians corner -click tab interactive lessons -click Carlos Santana
Gives one some idea how to approach playing some of his tunes, still wish I could just play so effortlessly
Whilst your on the site check out his gear Massa mk1, Dumbel Overdrive & a Dumble Special + a Tubescreamer and Wah

Wow, thanks for posting that. I've always admired Santana's playing. He was one of the first guys that I tried to emulate by learning his songs, and trying to mimic his tone, etc. He's one of those players who you can recognize after only a few notes because his style is so identifiable. There's very few guitar players like him who have their own sound.
I really liked watching those lessons he has posted on his site because he tells the story behind the songs, etc. It would be great if every artist would do this.
Thanks again for posting that, -- Jim

Very cool, one of the first things I noticed was even at living room volume. Santana sounds "like" Santana. Possibly that tone be in the fingers concept at work again.

I use the boutique OD for my Overdrive and just by using the volume and tone controls(I have the Jimmy Page wiring in my LP)I can get just about any lead sound I want. Cool amp for £300 !!! about 3% of the real dumbles and they give you two of them

The solo's are just variations of the intro so it's not to hard to make up your own using the notes you've already learnt (mostly from the pentatonic scale) so have some fun with that. If I remember rightly there are a load of videos on Carlos's site and Black Magic Woman is amoungst themOriginally Posted by sunvalleylaw
