Carlos should have taken some time to practice the tune. He is mostly
in the way of the groove. What is the geet the George is playing?

at the risk of being pounded by some I still feel compelled to say that
Carlos is not a jazz guitarist...not really on GB's level.....
I think that has kinda been implied around these parts on many occasion...


You do not have to be a jazz guitarist - he could have done his own
latin-pentatonic-singin Mesa Boogie stuff just fine. I do not expect
Santana
to play jazz. But it seems he had very little clue how to structure
the solo on
that piece - as if he did not prepare himself. And I am not dissing
Carlos -
I like his music. Just on that particular piece - he cannot seem to
find his angle.
