                            "Well All Right"
                   Original Album "Inner Secrets" 1979
               Taken from Santana "The Ultimate Collection"
              Written by N.Petty,B.Holly,J.Allison,J.Maudlin  
                       Performed by Carlos Santana
  
  Tabbed by Nick Wellings,   nickwellings@hotmail.com
  Tabbed on 11.8.00
  
  Note; I have tabbed what I think Santana has played as 
  accurately as possible for reference. Sometimes its best, 
  I think, not to try to reproduce exactly what you hear
  or read,it can get way too complex.
  Anyway, to the song.
  Tech notes: Start off with a clean sound selector on middle 
  position if its a stratocaster or imitation of one, 
  then during the solos change the selector for emphasis,
  if directed to, as Carlos often does. 
  
         h - hammer on
         p - pull off
         b - bend string up
         r - release bend
         / - slide up
          - slide down
         v - vibrato more v's=more vib
         t - right hand tap
         x - play 'note' with heavy damping
