“As a guitar player… my role is to be present with love and not step on his vocals. Everything I’ve ever done… I am part and parcel of a complete voice. I’m not anybody’s shadow—and I’m not going to disrupt their light. But I am part of the whole song. I learned that from my dad and from B.B. King. Never compare or compete. That’s ok for soccer or the World Cup. But music is just complimenting.”
Carlos Santana
