Jam con Carlos Santana (partitura): Black Magic Woman (Guitar Play Along sheet music)
Carlos Humberto Santana Barragan (Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, July 20, 1947) is a Mexican nationalized American guitarist. In 1966, he founded the Santana band, a pioneer in fusing Latin music with rock.
Santana ha vendido más de 100 millones de álbumes en todo el mundo (contando las ventas de su banda y su carrera en solitario). Ha ganado diez premios Grammy y tres premios Grammy Latino. Está casado con Cindy Blackman, conocida por ser la baterista de Lenny Kravitz. Su hermano Jorge Santana también fue músico, reconocido por ser uno de los fundadores del grupo Malo.
En 2003, la revista Rolling Stone lo colocó en el puesto 20 de su lista de los 100 mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos; Posteriormente ocupó el puesto 90 en su prestigiosa lista de los ‘100 mejores artistas de todos los tiempos’. ‘
Además, con Santana, sus discos Santana (1969) y Abraxas (1970) forman parte de los 500 mejores discos de todos los tiempos, fue productor y compositor principal. También forma parte de la lista de los 100 mejores artistas de todos los tiempos, ocupando el puesto 90.
Santana nació en Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, México. Su padre tocaba el violín en un mariachi. De joven Carlos aprendió a tocar el violín, pero se interesó por la guitarra a los ocho años, influenciado principalmente por el músico Ritchie Valens.
En 1955, su familia se mudó a Tijuana, Baja California. Carlos se dedicó a estudiar guitarra, emulando los sonidos de B. B. King, T-Bone Walker y John Lee Hooker bajo la tutela de Javier Bátiz. Mientras tanto, tocaba en bandas locales como Los T.J.’s, de la cual era bajista, un grupo en el que agregó su propio toque y sentimiento original a las canciones populares de rock and roll de la década de 1950.
Al principio, se quedó en Tijuana para mejorar su destreza musical en los clubes locales, cuando su familia se mudó nuevamente, esta vez a San Francisco, California en 1961, pero pronto siguió, se encontró inscrito en la escuela, aprendiendo inglés y con ganas de reproducir música. Al mismo tiempo, Carlos estaba inmerso en el ambiente pintoresco de San Francisco, con sus diversas influencias culturales y estilos musicales.
El destino llevó a Carlos al lugar y momento correctos, colocándolo en medio de la enorme y floreciente escena musical que era el Área de la Bahía de San Francisco, el lugar de nacimiento del movimiento hippie. En 1965, recibió la ciudadanía estadounidense.
Influencias
Desde muy joven, Carlos Santana desarrolló un gusto por la música de B.B. King, Javier Batiz y John Lee Hooker. El trabajo de guitarra de jazz de Gábor Szabó a mediados de la década de 1960 también influyó mucho en la forma de tocar de Santana.
De hecho, la composición de Szabo ‘Gypsy Queen’ se usó como la segunda parte del tratamiento de Santana en 1970 de la composición de Peter Green ‘Black Magic Woman’. El álbum instrumental de Santana, Shape Shifter, incluye una canción llamada ‘Mr. Szabo’, interpretada en homenaje a Gábor Szabó. Santana también ha mencionado a Jimi Hendrix, Mike Bloomfield, Hank Marvin y Peter Green como influencias importantes. Considera a Bloomfield como un mentor directo.
Santana se mudó a San Francisco y, en octubre de 1966, fundó la Santana Blues Band. Para 1968, la banda había comenzado a incorporar diferentes tipos de influencias en su blues eléctrico. ‘Cuando entraba en la habitación de cualquier chico’, recuerda el guitarrista, ‘escuchaba a Sly Stone y Hendrix, otro chico a los Rolling Stones y los Beatles. Otro tipo escuchaba a Tito Puente ya Mongo Santamaría, otro a Miles Davis ya John Coltrane… Para mí era como estar en una universidad’.
Guitarras y equipos de música
Las guitarras favoritas de Carlos Santana son las Paul Reed Smith. Otros que ha usado incluyen una Yamaha SG 2000 y una Gibson SG con las que tocó en el famoso Festival de Woodstock. También se le vio durante los años 70 con las famosas Gibson Les Paul, Fender Stratocaster, Telecaster, y también en 1992 en un concierto en Japón, interpretó ‘Blues for Salvador’ con una Yamaha RGX que entonces era un prototipo. Hecho especialmente para el músico. La Gibson SG roja que Santana usó en Woodstock ahora se exhibe en el Hard Rock Café de Marbella.
Guitarras: PRS (Paul Reed Smith) Modelo Santana SE, Santana I, II, III y ahora la MD, teniendo siempre la Santana I y II como favoritas del público.
Amplificadores: Cabezal Marshall de 100w de los 70 con una sola cabina de 4×12”, Blackface Fender Twin del 65, Mesa/Boggie Mark IV y cabezal Dumble Overdrive Special de 100w a través de una sola cabina Altec-Lansing de 1×12 (esta última para solos).
