Notes

Studio recording for 'Necio' (2013), riff section. Gear based on Santana's known studio setup for this era and genre; no direct studio photo or interview for this specific track, but PRS Santana II and Mesa/Boogie Mark I are confirmed as his primary studio rig for featured appearances in the 2010s.

Difficulty

The riff requires intermediate technique with expressive bends, vibrato, and phrasing typical of Santana's style, but does not involve advanced speed or complex chord voicings.
