alright guys, lay off Santana

no, he's not the fastest (Oh god no, aguitar player isn't good unless they're fast)

but he's got such a smooth classy way of playing and he has one of the sweetest, creamiest, warmest, nicest tones of anyone out there

and he's written some some really cool music

he's not trying to be anything he's not, just a spanishy jazzy ear pleasing guitar player

I'd agree if he hadn't been doing the SAME DAMN EXACT THING for thirty plus years straight.

I don't think he should be complimented for his guitar playing so much as figuring out that if he sticks to doing "this" guitar style, lots of people will buy it.
