5.0 out of 5 stars Dream come true for learning guitarists and Santana fanatics, May 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Jam with Carlos Santana with CD (Audio) (Paperback)
Santana has always been my ultimate guitarist idol, and for a book like this to come out, I feel like I've actually had a workshop with Santana himself. It provides a number of easy to interpret tips and recommendations that have not only increased my confidence in improvisation, but also have allowed me to imagine during the play-alongs that I may one day meet a level of playing like Carlos'. My guitar techniques have without a doubt undergone significant improvements. This book includes all the classics, and is a must for any of the other Santana fanatics like me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jam with Carlos Santana with CD, May 12, 2007
The CD & book are very good to play along with, also the chords & notes are right in the book, only one thing they dont tell you, they are not the entire songs. Europa, Black Magic Woman, etc are all cut short & dont play through the guitar solos, so there are several minutes cut out of each song, so its not the entire song. If you dont care about the solos its fine, but this says its a jam, to me soloing is the best part of the jam & they are all cut out

5.0 out of 5 stars The solos are not missing!, December 5, 2008
By

This review is from: Jam with Carlos Santana with CD (Audio) (Paperback)
I just want to contradict the negative review that says the solos are missing. I think the reviewer only listened to part of the CD. Tracks 1-8 are backing tracks with lead guitar and vocals cut out so you can 'jam with', as the title suggests. So, of course the solo is missing.

I previewed Black Magic Woman, and the entire song is tabbed out, except that all three verses share the same tab. (No big deal)

If you don't have a CD of the song you are working on, tracks 9-16 have a version with lead guitar included.(Solo and all!) It is decent, but it isn't Carlos.

Also, you don't have to be able to read rhythms as another reviewer suggests. You don't have to know the difference between a quarter note and an eigth note. Put a sound card in your computer that allows you to record smaller chunks of the song with a time scaling feature. Time scaling lets me slow down a difficult section without altering the pitch. Now you just listen, play along, and speed it up a little at a time as you work it up to speed. You don't have to read the rhythm because you will hear it and feel it.

Hope this helps. I'd say this is a great value and a fun way to practice.
