Carlos Santana - Maria Maria

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2lsrbGkUcA

To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana


Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poorer is getting poorer


See mi y Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later


Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (east coast)


Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (west coast )

oh Maria Maria
She reminds me of a west side story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She's living the life just like a movie star


oh Maria Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana

I said a la fella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi cosa la esperanza


Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinking of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise


Ahora vengo mama chula mama chula
Ahora vengo mama chula (north side)

I know the song. I did not know Carlos played the Spanish guitar portions in it with a pick.I know those riffs but play them in the traditional flamenco style. I have the midi files storied in my keyboard and play it often because it is one of my favorites. Maybe he wanted that staccato sound but you can do that with fingers.

Damn! That kid is phenomenal!!
If you play the guitar you will notice he busted off on his own riff which was not musically complex but made it clear he has advance formal training as he easily broke across three modes of the pentatonic scale. He knows where every note is on that fretboard. He will be a phenomenal guitarist when he matures ( he is already amazing!)
