Subject: Carlos' Latin Rock |
|
Fig.2.
Our second lick
is in D minor, is played
over a slower moody
Latin rock groove and
features a silky,
sustaining overdrive
distortion tone. The
slinky bends throughout
are familiar Santana
elements, especially the
opening articulated bend
line. Note the use of
the crucial ninth tone E
in bars 4 and 5.
|
This
is a perfect example of
the modal jazz influence
colliding with Carlos’
blues-rock background to
produce an uncommon but
unmistakable statement.
The held E note is
sustained with amp
feedback for a horn-like
effect. The rising D
minor 9 arpeggio in bar
5 is another jazz
mannerism thrown into
the mix. The concluding
line in bar 6 combines a
modal fragment with a
bluesy bend-and-release
figure.
