Santana * Song Of The Wind

This lesson teaches Carlos Santana's intro guitar solo 
licks to "Song Of The Wind". When analyzing the intro 
guitar licks to this solo (shown below) it may be cons-
idered that this solo is mainly based upon C major pent-
atonic (C,D,E,G,A)in combination with A minor pentatonic
(A,C,D,E,G). 

The rhythm chords for this song (C major7 & F major7) are
a good choice of chords to choose when improvising guitar
licks using these scales.

Note that these scales both contain the exact same notes.
It is the "tonic note" that identifies the difference 
between the 2 scales. For example: C major pentatonic
scale starts with "C note=C tonic note" and ends with the
note C, as A minor pentatonic begins with "A note=A tonic
note" and ends with the note A.
