Having some minutes to escape somewhere work wonders in our souls in these pandemic times.
Could finally upload it to YT after several attempts - internet issues -.
Here I´m offering some escape minutes with one of my favorite classics: Santana´s Europa (one of my wife´s too). After practicing it again, I was able to do an acceptable performance – with all humbleness -, this is not the first attempt; I missed a couple of notes here and there, but I thought it was good enough to post. Tried to follow the original, but added some of my own flavor in some parts, as I always like to do with my covers.
Hope you enjoy it, and hoping the great enabler [mention]tobijohn[/mention] is pleased knowing that the guitar is being used and accumulating travel miles on its playing odometer. My soul saved!
Here´s the preset adjustments (Fender Mustang I). Bridge PU for the whole song, except for the soft middle part. I managed to switch PUs without making unwanted noises after some practicing; took me a while! Neck PU around 2-3, bridge PU at full.
Crappy celphone video, audio recorded through Mustang´s USB port.
Backing track modified by me, I added the final part so it doesn´t end fading. I also added my own composition for the final 25 seconds to end the song.
I think I left the sound some miliseconds behind when I was combining video and audio, but that´s gonna be it!
As always, better with a good pair of headphones.
You could not guess how many times I tried to get it done reasonably decent.
