Here is another request! I’m sorry but I can’t remember who asked for some Santana. Here is one a three I cut this week. It has an infectious groove. And some nice breaks too!

Good morning 🙏 😊my friend 🥁 🪘 🛢 yedir classic ❤

[jimflys]

Cool, some double pedal action. Do you lead with your left or right typically? I was planning to cover this one at some point. I love the whole album. Just deciding.

Great job staying in the pocket. I have the hardest time staying in the pocket on this one because of all the percussion. I'm always trying to play it all and it never works...lol
