When Carlos said: " Everything comes from God and returns to God." My eyes couldn't take it.

People are flowers, music is the water, I am just a hose. - Carlos Santana

Definetely one of the most impressive guitarrists in the world

You will never get a simple answer from Carlos. Very poetic in his response.

From the gift of God. Love the music and sound Carlos Santana makes on his guitar

Carlos gets philosophical with every answer that you wonder if he knows how to be direct anymore

Love how Carlos has always acknowledged and embodied the spiritual aspect of music. Duane Allman has always been a favorite of mine, and he also had the spiritual aspect to his playing. From around '68 until Duane's death in late '71 they must have crossed paths. I wonder if they jammed? Never heard or read Carlos discuss Duane (or Dickey). Bill Graham ever book them together at Fillmore West or East. Always thought Carlos' rhythm section and Allman's had similar, perculating rhythm.

Wyclef: “How did you get your (guitars) sound?” (Usually meaning what type of guitar or gear a guitarist uses that create their sound.) Santana: (He could’ve answered… a this guitar or that amp.) “(Instead he recites poetry. LOL.)……………..” BUT CARLOS SANTANA IS NO MERE MORTAL, THE MAN IS SUPERNATURAL!!! Y que vive Carlitos Santana!! El maestro de nosotros guitaristas/musicos de todo el mundo!! Viva Mexico, Viva la Raza, God bless us all 🌎 🙏🏻🇲🇽🤘🏾✊🏿💪🏽👌🏼✌🏼!! From the words of Ol’ Carlos:LET THE MUSIC SET YOU FREE

"VIVA SANTANA"

Wonderful to hear Carlos play with a deep clean guitarsound. Wish he would do that more often. It sounds beautiful! He used Fender amps a lot in the beginning. They have him a little less saturated sound and a little more dynamics. Which really suits his playing and voice.

Carlos is right, those blues guys where pure and authentic, muddy waters, Budy Guy, B.B.King all had their personal sound and knew how to jam and fit in. Carlos also has his distinct sound because he made the journey inside and pulled out his music and sound, ofcourse influenced by the blues and latin ( african) rhythms.

They make a great combo!

Well as usual nine of this tells us how he gets his sound .... ie Amps, guitar playing, pickups, effects etc ! And I've been a fan since 1969' 🎶

Carlos Santana Grande cuore....ha influenzato molto il mio modo di suonare, Ciao Carlos!!!

Cosmic Carlos is so sincere it is inspiring.

This was a great interview with the original genius, Mr. Carlos Santana!

everything comes from God , evething returns to God . that gives me more motivation in serving God

My last name is Santana, I play the guitar a bit, my moms name is Maria and we’re from the west coast (his song Maria Maria), I wish he was related I wish so badly. I always have been a fan but i became obsessed when I went to a flea market and found his vinyl “Shango” album and it’s been my favorite out of my entire collection, and I have quite a few. Since then, I am always searching for his vinyl. I wish he was my tio 😢😢

A True Living Legend if there ever truly One existed!

Wow what the hell did I just watch bro!!???? This should be the biggest thing people watch on the internet right now.... inspiration, musical vibes, it's the essence of everything that's vibration.....if people only thought like this again.....wow he's just a blues hippie with a mission to love and free the world....where the hell is part 2?

At 1:10 Wyclef says "two pickups, right? " pointing at the two knobs. But they are not individual volume controls, unless Carlos has changed things. One is volume,. one tone. I play a PRS Tremonti and another PRS copy with Santana II pickups. Carlos has always been a great inspiration both in his style and personality. Read his autobiography!

..we sing and play our sorrows away.

Santana’s mom saw me playing in a bar in Tijuana, and she brought him over,” says Bátiz, who was around 15 at the time. “She knew Santana wanted to play like me. I shared everything I know from my guitar to him.”

OMG...beautiful. 😊

"where does your sound come from?" Santana: "do you believe in god?"

love the song at the end!

❤ Carlos Santana ❤ 🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏

lovely video indeed

Goosebumps at the very end

How True my Friend!!

If Carlos can play Delta blues as well as he did at the beginning, why hasn't he made a blues CD?

Bien espiritual Carlos Santana... ¡Me gustó eso! Gracias B&O.

Carlos Santana is a poet even when he speaks.

Yeah, Carlos, That's great and everything, but in what number do you set the knobs?

Brasil Rio de Janeiro

Everything comes from God and everything returns to God. I love that. 🙏🙏🙏

Does anyone know where I can get the top my man Carlos is wearing?

I really had to laugh with term " Disposable soundbite" a very consumer-like term just like throwing away an empty tube of toothpaste. And we all know exactly what the Godfather Carlos means with that statement.

The master

Having researched the History of Paul Reed Smith guitars and their import copy PRS recently. I find it amusing when Wyclef here asked Carlos 'This guitar is what kind of model? .... and Carlos turns his head to the headstock of his guitar as if to read it, and then answers 'Yeah it's a Paul Reed Smith ....... NOWHERE on HIS Signature model USA made Paul Reed Smith guitars ..... Does it actually have a logo that says Paul Reed Smith on it .... anywhere !!!! .... a little known fact. Edit: Paul Reed Smith is written on the back electronic pot cover, on the Production models.

The sound comes for God Amen brother and you.

Who would be the closer for a concert containing: SRV, Santana, Clapton, Hendrix, Mayer??!!?? Would’ve loved to see something like this!!!

did anyone notice who it is represented on the beautiful shirt that wy is wearing; that says it all carlos; you are receiving from and giving it all back to Him. profoundly beautiful interview, as always;

I want to see the all thing and the link in the bio doesn t work. help

What is that last song Wyclef & Santana play at the end?

Santana!!! Who’s the other guy???

1:30

Carlos does what he wants to do he knows what he wants he is in control of his life and music when you get to this level you are respected

For me is Hendrix and Carlos.

Is God a pedal?

This is the first time in 30 years santana doesn't sound like he's playing through 6 compression pedals. I don't know when he decided sustain is more important than anything else, but it definitely isn't. I listen to Samba PA Ti and wonder where that guy went. He has so much touch and feel, I don't know if it's the Boogies, or the PRS with the short 24 1/2" scales, but his tone has gotten so overly round and compressed, that there's no life to it anymore. People say you can tell it's Carlos Santana within the first couple bars of a song, and it's true, but only because it sounds like everything else he's done. He should go back to the Dumble and an SG with PAFs or P90s for a while, get some dynamics going again.

nobody play guitar like him *, l like Gary Moore Ricky blackmore too very melodic

How do you get your tone? *Proceeds to explain nothing about his tone* Love Santana though.

In the world there were and are very good guitarists, call yourselves, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix, etc, etc, etc, but from there they did not pass, in several years they will to listen to a recording and they are going to ask, what good guitarist? Who is he? - But when listening to an album by Carlos Santana, they will immediately identify him, because C. Santana belongs to the small group of musicians who have created an inimitable and unrepeatable style, Carlos Santana stood out above all of them and that is why he is recognized worldwide En el mundo había y hay muy buenos guitarristas, llámense, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Hendrix, etc, etc, etc, pero de ahí no pasaron, en varios años van a estar escuchando una grabación y van a preguntar, ¿qué buen guitarrista? ¿Quién es él? - Pero al escuchar un disco de Carlos Santana, inmediatamente lo identificarán, porque C. Santana pertenece al pequeño grupo de músicos que han creado un estilo inimitable e irrepetible, Carlos Santana se destacó por encima de todos ellos y por eso es reconocido mundialmente

Sound comes from 3 main places: 1. The player 2. The instrument 3. The sound system The player in the case is a master. Much of that distinct sound comes from the fingers. ❤

Definitely the majority of the magic is in the way he plays, it comes from his hands and his spirit... but Carlos never sounded better than when he played a Gibson L6-S or especially a Yamaha SG. Those PRS's just do not hit that glorious blossoming tone... been a fan of his for over 50 years, but the PRS's just sound "deadened & muffled" and not in ANY aspect in a good way - his playing was still amazing, but his tone became dull like someone threw a quilt over the amp. This is the reason I've steered clear of the "jack of all trades" guitar.

Those must be some good sounding pickups if God wound them.

Carlos is very much a hippie lol

Jai Hind Santana!

Javier Batis had the original sound and Carlos took it from there. Many believe Santana does not give Batis credit. If you listen to Batis you can hear where Carlos learned his sound.

Ohhh soo just a commercial for b&o …. Dis iz dizapointing :/

Impostor

Everything was going well, till Wyclef started to sing.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalm 14:1.

Less philosofi, more blues, please mr. Santana.
