It was my 13th birthday and it was around the time where i started learning to play the guitar. My olderbrother gave a cd with Santana and i fell in love with his music amidietly.
I listend to the cd constantly and tried to emulate his sound on my spanish guitar, which was the only guitar i had at the time. As time went by i started to look more into his music and i started listening to some of his early stuff like Abraxas and Moon flower and it was like a whole new world appeared. The thing that really hooked me was the pure emotion Carlos was putting into his guitar playing, he was the first guitarist i heard that had the power to make his guitar sing or cry. And this day today, Carlos Santana remains my favorite artist and my idol.
