My mother always used to tell me that Carlos Santana was a gifted Guitarist up there with so many other greats like Halen and Hendrix. I grew up with seeing him as some kind of string master and I loved his music.
Personally, I'd say he is up there.
Does public opinion of Santana reflect this?
(Edit: I'm loving the shared admiration of Santana rn)
Edit 2: 21/12/2022 I have come to the conclusion that Santana is indeed a brilliant guitarist.
