Oye Como Va became a massive hit after Santana released it in 1970. But, did you know that the song was originally composed and recorded by Tito Puente back in 1962? Both versions are based on a typical cha-cha-chá rhythm and they are essentially the same, they just differ in style. Santana's version has more of a rock flavor with a lot of drive in the sound of his guitar while Tito Puente's version is lighter with a traditional Latin orchestra sound.

The song consists of only two chords, Am7 and D7 (D9), with a lot of different melodies and variations. I pretty much stayed true to the Santana's original and made a transcription of it, but I arranged/adapted it to the classical guitar. Beside Santana's guitar solo at the end of the song, I found the keyboardist's (Hammond) solo very special and interesting so instead of skipping it I decided to make an arrangement of it and include it into the song.

OYE COMO VA (but fingerstyle + tab)

🎼 TAB, scores, backing tracks at: https://www.patreon.com/guitarlogic This is my take on the great Latin rock classic Oye Como Va! I transcribed and adapted this cover for fingerstyle playing, as usual. Santana was the one who made this song so popular after releasing it in 1970, but did you know that it was originally composed and recorded back in 1962 by Tito Puente? Both versions are based on a typical cha-cha-chá rhythm and they are essentially the same, they just differ in style. 👉 If you would like to support my channel and get EXTRA perks such as tabs, backing tracks, mp3 originals and more, please visit my PATREON page: https://www.patreon.com/guitarlogic 🥇🏆 SPECIAL THANKS TO MY PATRONS: Eduardo Arguelles Nathaniel Willey Ryan Mitchell William e Thomas Patrick Mussari Anisur Rahman Arthur J Beaulieu Francis Kim Jim Jeffrey Aquila Ethan Bliss Galiay Sanginlee Dag Skarvang James Leonard Marco Antonio Carvalho Cruz Coconuts Delta1ster Daniela Vordermaier Bea Bach Наталья Jazz Darren Courville David MA Rudy Carrillo Cope-a-cabana Théo Buschendorff Bryan Eastlake 💡 If there is a particular song you would like me to do, be sure to leave a comment below.
