greghagger Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Black Magic Woman is an absolute classic that every musician should know. I heard the Peter Green version first but remember being blown away when a friend then played me the Santana version with the extended jam section at the end. Check it out if you haven't heard it. I love the mix of Blues, Rock, Jazz and Latin in Santana's music. But most of all I love the vibe and energy that comes across in all of his songs. The bass line to Black Magic Woman is fairly simple to play (apart from the Latin riff at the end!) but it does require you to lock into the groove and land accurately on each change of chord. Once you get it, this is a lovely bass line to play. I’ve made a video lesson on the bass line from this extended Santana version. You can also pick up a full transcription in standard notation or Tab for free under the video. Enjoy this classic bass line. https://youtu.be/5uyro1t_vks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
