Does anyone know the intro to Santana's "Black Magic Woman"........there is one part where they bounce on the 1's and 5's.....I just need some help to straighten that part out...

Before PowerTabs was shut down, I downloaded Black Magic Woman. Here is intro that was posted, and it seems accurate to me.

Don't forget the glissando from the A to D. It's shown on the tab, but not on the notation.

E-mail Carlos Santanas bassist Benny Rietvald at Crazy88@bennyworld.com.

He has been Carlos bassists since 1991, he answers my questions and is a very cool cat. Go to the source !

WRBass and Munji have it right - Benny is great but the source of this bassline is Dave Brown.

Hmm, I am hearing some extra "E"! Highlighted in the transcription that I made below. Is that the percussion

?
