You've got to be kidding me! This is fantastic! Everyone! Instruments, vocals, production....and that lead guitar! Carlos Santana would be proud! I hope he's seen it!

[troylindley]

When I first clicked on this, I wasn't sure how it was going to go, because they are "little kids". 5 seconds into it... I'm blown away! Great job, very impressive for this age group.Keyboard solo great! Guitars, percussion, vocals all awesome. Happy day!😊

[RIEH]

Absolutely love this video. These kid sounded so great. The lead guitarist and girl on keyboards just killed

[GoBrits]

These kids are incredible. I have never seen such coordination and musicianship that early in life

[CamoDrako]

The bandana guitarist kills, couldn't imagine being that small with a full-size guitar

[askarjuna]

What is this? A prodigies show? OMGGGG!! Each kids performed like a professional!! Oh Boy!!!

[bsullivan]

WOW! I'm a 50 year music vet and I think these kids are Awesome! BIG KODOS to every one of them. 👍👍

[davidscott]

I love the grin on the keyboardist's face at 1:58, "My solo's coming up!"

[bigtruckbrad]

Wow! Has Carlos seen this? These kids did a fantastic preformance. Thank you for sharing these talented musicians with us.

[MrSkunk]

As a man of God these kids are unbelievable . Just look at the joy on their faces . amazing performance. The Almighty would have been foot tapping with a grin all across his face. Take a bow young musicians you deserve it. May God keep you all safe.

[TheDesertwalker]

Lead guitarist kid...YOU ROCK, Man. You kick ass!!! Organ solo is top notch also.

[muffsmercury]

A classic song that I still love 53 years later. Language is no barrier to a classic song. These kids don't look to be anymore than 11 to 13 years old at the most but they nailed this one big time. Amazing talent.

[michaelquillen]

A lot of raw talent and hard work are displayed here! Kudos for not abusing the voices of these young vocalists!

[ChicagoBeaver]

Pure WOW! I've seen Santana live 10 times since 1975, but I just wanted to say this guitar player here is so good. I also play guitar and this kid can play, he is smoking on this song. Amazed!!!

[RIEH]

Aside from the fact that the lead guitarist and keyboard player are fantastic, the band is terrific. Love this video. . This not an easy song to cover and they killed it

[ronaldrockwell]

ALL of the School of Rock groups do an outstanding job of covering the songs they choose to perform!! You can tell they are very talented musicians.

[smoorej]

I saw Santana live in the 60’s and you kids absolutely nailed this. Unbelievable talent. You are all amazing!

[HoneyForMonkey]

I am so impressed & encouraged by these students/performers. I am a musician and music instructor, and I'm so uplifted when my students give a perfect performance at a recital. The stress and tension of performing for an audience or for recording equipment & cameras can be immense. BRAVO! To all of you!!

[secretsquirrel]

Haters GO AWAY !!! These young men and women are to be saluted for their capabilities and what the give back to their audience. If you don’t like something - move on... Constructive criticism always welcomed I’m sure but hating just to hate - just GO AWAY !!!

[rhight]

Terrific! Thanks, kids. You're excellent musicians and vocalists, and you bring new life to an old standard. I always like listening to the School of Rock!
