Notes: Carlos Santana's guitar doesn't start right away, there are 3 guitars total
in this song, Guitar 1 is Santana (Lead Guitar Standard Tuning "E A D G B E") and
the other 2 are P.O.D. backup guitars, To distinguish lead from backup, the backup
(P.O.D. Guitars tuned down 1 whole step "D G C F A D") guitars are alot lower in
volume than the lead guitar by carlos, Santana's guitar is alot fuller sounding, 
while P.O.D.'s guitars are more high pitched.
