1. Europa

2. Start with the chords
Notice that there are only a couple of different fingerings.
Play the chords enough to hear them.
This song is in Cm. Which is the relative minor to Eb major.
Very common progression in music. Exactly the same as Autumn Leaves, just a different style.

5. Do in 8th position
Count & 2 & 3 (&4) &e ( ) & 2 & 3 (&4) &e

Santana plays it differently at the end. Will cover
This later in the handouts.

13. Solo Section. Whole thing is in Cm or Eb. Only one scale
Used the whole time for Santana’s solo.

15. Now Just Work On It Again start with the chords
Each page is one section
Learn one section at a time and memorize before going on to the next section.
This song isn’t difficult if you just take your time.
Listen closely to the original recording.
This is more of an outline than the exact thing that Santana plays. But by doing this you will learn the idea of the song and then can make it your own!
