Today let’s dive into a “Black Magic Woman” guitar lesson. "Black Magic Woman" is a song that has captivated music lovers for decades. It started with Peter Green and the British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac.
But the song found its true magic in the hands of Santana, becoming one of his most iconic and beloved tracks.
Who is Black Magic Woman originally by?
"Black Magic Woman" was originally written and recorded by the British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac. The song was released as a single in 1968 and was included on their album English Rose in the United Kingdom.
But Santana's cover of "Black Magic Woman" is undoubtedly the most famous and well-known version of the song. It was included on his 1970 album titled Abraxas and released as a single. Santana's interpretation of the song took a different direction from the original Fleetwood Mac version, infusing it with their signature Latin rock sound.
Carlos Santana's mesmerizing guitar work became the centerpiece of the track. His distinctive playing style, blending rock, blues, and Latin influences, brought a fresh and captivating energy to "Black Magic Woman."
Santana's rendition of "Black Magic Woman" received significant radio airplay and climbed high on the charts, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The song's success helped propel the "Abraxas" album to great heights, cementing Santana's place in the music industry and earning them widespread acclaim.
To this day, Santana's version of "Black Magic Woman" remains an iconic and influential track.
Black Magic Woman Chords
To play “Black Magic Woman” you’ll only need to know 4 chords Dm, Am, Gm, and A7. I would play each one of these chords as bar chord shapes.

Unbelievably, most chord and tabs version on the internet have an A or A7 in there. Thank you for setting the record straight...
Beautiful guitar!🎸
Credit for Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac who wrote it and his version is also phenomenal.
Thank you!
Grazie, ottimo insegnamento, Jon. (Non John?) Continuo a seguirti.
Very good informative video,it's just a pity I can't play any of it.
I remember learning this years ago and I remember when you go to the last Gm my teacher told me to lift a finger while in that Gm chord. But I can’t remember which finger.
Third string hammer on 3rd fret
to the 5 th fret and release , the timing is on beat "4 and a " returning to the Dm
Great song example of the C-A-G-E-D system moved up the neck harmonically, still trying to grasp this endless theory that essentially made power chords!🤯
It comes through practice dude
A lot of talking. do it by ear and maybe you can strum the guitar better than he is.
