This is the second lesson in a series for the A Minor Pentatonic Scale. This lesson covers position 2, and gives a few tips on how to get it memorized and begin creating licks with the scale.
I learned this song about an hour ago. I've been wanting to learn it for a little while now, so I sat down and figured it out. It's mostly easy, but I hit a few sour notes. It's new for me, so who cares. It can only get better, right?
Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

Standard tuning: EADGBE
One of the first songs I learned to play (without the solo). It's really easy so, to you beginners, eat it up!
Solo:
The solo proved to be a bit challenging at first, but with practice you all should get it fairly quickly. I'm not quite sure if it's completely the way it's played, but this is as close as I could get. I hope it's good enough.
As I always say, listen to the CD to get all the timing down.

Standard tuning: EADGBE Played mostly in C Aeolian mode of the D# Major diatonic scale. There are a few licks in C Minor pentatonic. It proves to be a nice mix of the two scales. The song pretty much stays in one area of the fretboard, so there's not alot of moving around, but it sounds like it's all over the place. Carlos Santana is a GENIUS! IMHO. Sorry it took so long. I have been working on this song for awhile (approx. a month) and it is 100% solo, so it wasn't easy for me.
