Considering it's been 41 years since he put out his first album, you can only imagine that his guitar playing has gotten to god-like status. Which it has. He has such a unique sound, bringing together jazz, Mexicana and that bright-sounding blues-inspired guitar which is his trademark. Over the course of his career he's played and recorded with some of the best (Chad Kroger not included) artists of modern music. Just check out the last 15 years of his career: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Santana#Return_to_commercial_success
Come March 24th, I'll be grabbing my dad and heading to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre to see Santana's chops live, fulfilling a little boyhood ambition of mine since poring over my Dad's bootleg casettes on the old hifi.
Disappointed EDIT: This is the exact same night as Doobie Brothers. That's some bad organising on Chugg Entertainment's part (isn't it always with them?). The two will be competing for the same crowd, a lot of who will only go to one or two gigs a year. This will be a tough choice for me.
