"We tend to look for greatness in always in somebody else rather than yourself - go inside and find your sound" "you can only go into the heart, by you being vulnerable yourself."

0:46 if you don’t stand like that it ain’t gonna sound like that! Salute maestro!

"When you play music, you're bringing light into the darkness" - Carlos Santana That hits the nail right on the head and is the best quote I've ever heard about music! Thank you Carlos! :)

I love u santana

“The real musicians make the ugliest to create the most beautiful note.” John Mayer Jimi Hendrix Carlos Santana SRV Alex Lifeson John Frusciante Carlos is the man.

"The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace." - Carlos Santana

One of the few Woodstock generation musicians that's still musically relevent today. I interviewed him at length during the promo for the Shamen album. Always a hero of mine he was brutally honest about how unhappy he was as the Haight scene imploded and drugs darkened his life. Embracing spirituality has totally changed him and his art is infinitely better for it. One love Carlos. Keep shining baby!

I have played guitar for 35 years and I draw the soul of my playing from Carlos, he has been the greatest inspiration, his tone his heart his philosophy. I had heard about this masterclass so I was looking forward to it, I know most of it will be about attitude, tone, connection with your audience, and really meaning it when you play so you can make that connection. Music is a magical thing that is a privilege to play, it has the most amazing effect on people, never question it just channel it as best you can. Carlos has a wealth of knowledge to impart about this as he has a wealth of experience. Carlos you have come to this place after the longest of journeys, you have many thousands of followers both musicians and music listeners, please think again about the cost of imparting this knowledge as many people won't be able to afford it. Peace my brother, keep the music coming.

You my mentor Carlos. I will play this clip every morning as my day begins...I saw you play in Sydney Australia in 1972. You were the first guitar player I ever saw who played with body and soul. I didn't need to watch your fingers because the music came to me through your entire body. Respect.

0:00 when you play music

Carlos...a beautifull storyteller on his guitar..thats why we all love him.

0:00 he really be playing music doe...

The legend himself!!!! This class should be worth millions!!!!

Carlos you are the BEST!!!❤❤❤❤

Listening to Santana’s first three albums back-to-back to me out of a pretty bad place a few years back. Those albums continually take me to a happier place ☮️

Like Caravaggio and Titian, Carlos shows us through his music,the love and light that comes from '' the divine power of pure love and goodness'...

You are my hero Carlos I wanted to play guitar the minute I heard europa

Eres pura luz! Dios te bendiga Carlitos!

I love your guitar master class my king! Beautiful I grow up listening to your music in Africa, Mozambique, we love you here Love from Africa 🙏❤❤❤

Hi Carlos!, I'll never forget the 1979 "A Decade of Music tour", best concerts ever!, ( performance on "Transcendence" WOW! ) )big fan since 1969. Thank you for all these years of awesome! music. Peace!

In 1977 @7yrs old, i discovered a 1970 45 b-side called 'Hope You're Feeling Better' and i took notice right away; even more so w/'Black Magic Woman...thank you Mr. Santana!

YOU ARE THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER. B'COS U PLAY WITH THE SOUL AND PUREST FEELING COMING FROM THE HEARTH...

I would love hear you playing with David Gilmour;)

Carlos Santana I can't thank-you more. God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season. Happy New Year! Most sincerely Crystal elk

I saw your concert here in Calgary last March and you guys were awesome! Can't wait to sign up to your class! :)

Always love listening to you play

The master. My reason for playing. Viva Santana!

I love youtube just for that Carlos Santana❤❤❤ himself gives a master class to me personally and free!

I love you Carlos Santana 😍

I love how much he puts an emphasis on just really losing yourselves in the music. I immediately thought of Stevie Ray Vaughan when he said something like "the ugliest faces make the prettiest sound."

THIS TONE IS ESSENTIAL FOR WHEN YOU PLAY MUSIC

I have loved your music for so long! Please keep teaching! Young people need to learn this, it will disappear otherwise.

I never clicked faster in my life when I got the notification. Just as I was brainstorming ideas for my music career. With Santanas help it will be easier to succeed. Looking forward to this, Mr. Santana you're a huge inspiration to me and also all the other rock gods who came together at Woodstock. Wish I could have been there. Anyways I am ready to attend class maestro😂

You are my hero, Senor Santana

Grande este Méxicano 🇲🇽!! so proud of this great musician, and his teachings

You are an amazing vato, Senor Santana. Rock on!

That's the way to play: with heart and soul !

An absolute legend! 🇲🇽🔥

The best of the best.Living legend.

Also Carlos, Thank you for our Beloved PRS Guitars. Which yeah they are so good they would have eventually gotten out, but you were the one lighting a fire under this great guitar. Funny in 1973 I purchase A Gibson L6S a couple weeks later saw the poster with you playing one. My only complaint I guess is the nut could have been wider, I have big hands and I felt that neck a little narrow. But that guitar introduced to me all the options of hyper wiring a humbucker.

I'm so touched, made me cry...

That's great, greetings from Saltillo

Hermoso mi Carlitos tu rostro irradia mucha luz y tus notas son maravillas auditivas I love You Carlos VIVA CARLOS SANTANA!!!!

Besides being my very first exposure to the concept of a "guitar hero", Carlos also regrettably introduced me to the never-ending rabbit hole of PRS Guitars; every time I think "Nah, I don't really need one", I see a guitar, like the one in this video, that makes me go "Ramen for 6 months doesn't sound SO bad." Seriously though, this is probably more of an insight/interview and general tips for more seasoned and experienced players rather than an actual "class" -- this isn't aimed at players just starting out or even the fairly advanced; this is for Carlos Santana fans and guitarists who are trying to figure out what makes his style stand out. Looks cool for what it is, but it's not really a "masterclass" per se.

Ur the best, Carlos....

The true greats share their knowledge for those that follow ... Mr. Carlos Santana leads the pack in that philosophy.

you play the guitar amazing i love

The King!!!

Такой звук у гитары хочется послушать побольше... Создать такое звучание - это превосходное достижение!

Marcou minha vida!

my favorite player nobody sounds like him....the best phrasing i've heard....love to have those hands ha ha

Thank You !!!

Santana's first statement, about light into the darkness, makes me think of some words of my own. I dismantled a CRT monitor recently and there was a piece like a bulky cone around the electron generator, with wire coils that direct the electrons toward the screen, it looks like a speaker cone and I called it "speaker for images". You know, because it gives off images instead of sounds.
