What is everybody's take on him? I like what limited things I've heard from him (pre-Supernatural). Where should I begin?
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Its like very bad music played really well is the best way to describe it in my opinion. Very talented guitarist obviously, but his music is so uninteresting.
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
he is a living legend and one of best guitar players out there, with a sound that is all his own.
Agreed. These or Santana's Greatest Hits (from 1990) are a great starting place.
I saw him live 7 years ago at Jones Beach, NY...he was still absolutely incredible, and his live renditions of songs from Supernatural shit all over the album versions.

new stuff = shit

his new guitar tone is over compressed and saturated and his playing has revealing nothing new for some time.
that's a good point...

The first time was with his classic early 70's band. In fact, I think it was 1970. He was great, the band was great, but he had a band member (not to be named) with an ego problem. About a year after seeing that group (great show, outdoors at Stanford University), I was working at an auto parts store in San Francisco's Mission District. This guy came in one day and was really pushy toward a buddy of mine I worked with at the store about wanting rapid service. My buddy told him he'd have to wait. The guy said, "Don't you know who I am? I play ***** with Santana." My buddy said, "I don't care who you are, a-hole, you have to wait your turn." They guy left, LOL.
