Mother Africa Tabs

(ver. 1)
Carlos Santana
Song Title: Mother Africa
Artist/Band: Santana


Symbols:

p=pull-off
()=let ring

Tuning: Standard

      It's a little difficult to know if the melody is played with an organ or with a
strange guitar effect. Anyway, it sounds good with a guitar, and that's why I decided to tab it out.
