This is more or less a transcription of what I think
Santana has played.Feel free to mess around with it or simplify it
Intro: played in a bright stacatto way with feeling.
Technical Notes:
Add some moody reverb/echo and select a clean warm tone with the
pickup selector
towards the neck pickup on a stratocaster, or pointing down on
a Les Paul Style guitar.
