Carlos Santana - Mother Africa guitar tab

Song Title: Mother Africa

Artist/Band: Santana

Album: Welcome

Tab by JC Rea(jcrp_21@hotmail.com)

Symbols:

p=pull-off

()=let ring

Tuning: Standard

It's a little difficult to know if the melody is played with an organ or with a

strange guitar effect. Anyway, it sounds good with a guitar, and that's why I decided

to tab it out.
