"Samba Pa Ti" by Carlos Santana This is one of my favorite guitar songs. I have seen it tabbed out many times before on all kinds of web sites... but other tabs seem too complicated. I thought that there should be a simpler verion so i give you this version Key: ~ = sustain ^ = bend (half) = bend (full) h = hammer on p = pull off Tr = trill / = slide up = Slide down ||: = repeat Here it is the simple verion. Your going to have to listen to a recording to get the style dwon but heres the bulk of it. Tabbed by A.
