I only listen to Santana when I feel like being annoyed.

So who is a good guitarist to you?

Carlos Santana was one of the first really popular guitarists to start expanding on the o-so-popular blues playing that was going around for so long. Yeah, he was really blues influenced but he was also very jazzy. His band pioneered rock fused with Latin music and jazz. He was one of the earliest jazz-fusion guitarists along with friend and collaborator John Mclaughlin.

It really surprises me that anyone could say anything bad about him, but no matter how good something is, someone is always going to come **** on it. From his melodic, jazzy lines to his aggressive speed playing (and he had some real speed), he was great. Don't see how he was repetitive. Sure, he had some licks that he used a lot, but most guitarists do.

Anyway, has anyone heard his new album? I read a good review of it in guitar player magazine. Any thoughts here?
