Santana - A Samba For You guitar tab
"Samba Pa Ti"
by Carlos Santana
This is one of my favorite guitar songs. I have seen it tabbed out many times before on
all kinds of web sites... but other tabs seem too complicated. I thought that there should
be a simpler version so I give you this version
Key:
~ = sustain
^ = bend (half)
= bend (full)
h = hammer on
p = pull off
Tr = trill
/ = slide up
= Slide down
||: = repeat
Here it is the simple version. You're going to have to listen to a recording to get the
style down but here's the bulk of it.
