Carlos Santana is a magic man when it comes to guitar playing. He combines his Latino soul into the music he conjures, whether it's rock, blues, jazz fusion and salsa. Mystical and magical are some of the adjectives that best describe the kind of music Santana plays with his Gibson SG electric guitar. truly, he is an inspiration for other Latinos out there who wants to pick up a guitar and create music.
Another former Yardbird member, Eric Clapton knows how to whip up great music with his Eric Clapton Artist Signature Stratocaster. One of the most successful guitarist of all time, the guy with the nickname Slowhand has three inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and several Grammy awards under his belt.
