This is a classic Santana piece, but I have to say, the tab isn't doing it justice. While the standard tuning is great, missing some key nuances in articulation is a letdown for serious guitar players. The phrasing in the solo sections is where the magic happens, and it would be beneficial to see some fingerings or techniques detailed in the tab. Also, the transitions between sections could use more clarity—especially for those looking to master this piece. If you're learning this song, don't skip out on listening closely to Santana's tone and vibrato; they are crucial elements that the tab here overlooks. Overall, I think this could be a more comprehensive resource for dedicated learners looking to truly capture the essence of "Europa."
