Notes

The solo guitar in 'Wild Thoughts' is a direct sample/interpolation of Carlos Santana's playing from 'Maria Maria' (1999), not a new performance. The sampled tone is from the studio recording, using Santana's PRS guitar and Mesa/Boogie Mark I amp. Year: 2017 (DJ Khaled release), but original guitar tone is from 1999 studio session.

Difficulty

The solo is technically straightforward but requires expressive phrasing, smooth bends, and a controlled touch to match the sampled Santana feel.
