I was listening to Carlos Santana's "Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile)" and it made me wonder how in the world did he do those two looooong sustains or bends in this piece? Was this an amp trick or something that can be done only in the studio? I mean, 4 second sustains are amazing. How did he do it?

And let's not talk about a player like Jimi Hendrix. What frets did he use in the beginning of 'Voodoo Chile'? Any? I know he just has to be very hard to emulate because he had a sound of his own.
Carlos Santana, like many other musicians, sold his soul to the devil. Yet that sound or note or bend or whatever it is in 'Europa' just grabs you and won't let go.
Oh yeah, I played the violin and bass very poorly. ;-)
