Song Title: Mirage Artist/Band: Santana Album: Borboletta(1974) and The Essential Santana disc 1(2002) Tab by JC Rea([email protected]) Symbols: h=hammer-on p=pull-off /=slide-up b=bend ~=left hand vibrato ()=let ring Tuning: This song has a strange tuning.It's not standard, but it's not a half step down.Actually, in order to play this song identically the tuning required might be "one quarter" step down. It's almost standard, but the original song doesn't fit standard tuning at all. Anyway, it sounds good using a Standard tuning.
