Soloing Secrets - Carlos Santana

Here's the next episode of Soloing Secrets with Carlos Santana. I've had a number of requests to feature more of Santana's music, and aside from a Chordplay and Three-For-All episode devoted to him and his music, I figured it was finally time to really tackle his legendary soloing skills and fretboard secrets - which is exactly what this lesson is all about!

This episode features an overview of Santana's playing style and focuses on those specific areas that pop up a lot in his solos, licks, fills, and lead guitar moments overall. From a brief run-through of some of his favorite scales (including the ever-present Dorian mode/flavor) to a variety of melodic phrases/exercises that will really boost your melodic playing approaches and feel/energy. This lesson also shares an assortment of those fast three-note-per-string legato runs that Carlos employs frequently, not to mention a brief glimpse into his chord-form soloing style, and much more!

Needless to say, if you're a fan of Carlos Santana, Latin Rock, modal playing/music, intense melodicism, rhythmic excursions, and much more - this lesson is totally for you! Give this episode a view, leave some comments/feedback, and please subscribe to Late Night Lessons - THANK YOU!
