Maria Maria by Santana


tablature explanation: 
h=hammer on 
p=pull off 
^=bend full 
r=release bend 
//////=indicates rapid picking 
Jam key A minor (or D minor?) 

I finally got around to doing this one after having finished  
some others from Supernatural. I didnt want to do it at first  
because some of the classical guitar parts are hard to hear,  
but I solved that problem by using headphones.
