When learning to play the guitar in the 70s I always loved the tone of Carlos Santana. Here is an arrangement for C6 lap Steel guitar of Europa.....Santana at his melodic best. Hope you enjoy!

| Thanks so much for sharing that, Mike. I've thought that a number of Santana pieces would go well on steel, but I'm not yet at a skill level to attempt it. -David |

| Thank you david and Bob. I was thinking maybe I should have recorded it with more of the Santana tone......I was trying to keep it more of a traditional lap steel tone. |

I'd like to hear it with more overdrive, but playing-wise, you nailed it!
How do you like the RI Epi? I'm looking for a cheapish guitar for C6. The CC pickup has to make a big difference. |

Paul, After I recorded it I also thought the same. But I wasn't going to record it all again  !!!
The little Epiphone I think is a fine guitar but in my opinion you should budget to change the pickup. Not really sure why Epiphone did use put a better pickup as it probably would not have added much to the cost. The CC pickup is a massive improvement but to be honest I think any aftermarket pickup would be! |
