Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Santana playing the blues?? C'mon. . I have my doubts as to Santana' music for quiet a long time- it seems that he loves his place and role as a rock icon too much and forgot to do music. Let me be more specific- I never liked his salsa last records and thought that this is no music. For a guitar player who invented new ideas and streams in the rock guitar-playing world, these records were an insult- no less. I am really sure that Santana himself admits- deep down in his heart- that he looks for better music. It can be that these guilt feelings brought him to "create" this DVD. Well, if I am right in my analysis, he did wrong in his music, again. Nothing connects Santana to the blues and he will not convince (at least me) that he was raised on the knees of the blues. C'mon, forty years of career and now he revels that he is rooted in the blues??  Sorry, I don't buy it. Now, as Santana is not a blues guitar player, and never was- this DVD cannot be good and there are a lot of reasons for it: Santana' playing the blues is loud and vulgar while all other three guitar players (Bobby Parker, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and Buddy Guy) have a small and unique sound, Santana' technique (which was always amazing) covers a lack of touch and feeling while all three base their playing on feeling, emotion and the right sound- Santana, on the other hand, covers his disadvantages in playing the blues with all lot of notes. Now, if you want to purchase good blues guitar playing DVD go for each of the three (meaning: Bobby Parker, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and Buddy Guy) for their own records. If you like Santana (past or present) go for his own but, don't mix between them as Santana did. One more thing- Santana relates to Jeff Beck in his words added to this DVD and I agree that this is a good example- anyone who wants to understand the meaning of the blues and rock/blues guitar should address to Jeff Beck, not to Santana whom we still expect, after so many years, to create real music.
