A computerised Carlos Santana will be a playable character in the upcoming Guitar Hero game.

Santana will feature as what Activision calls “an in-game artist”. This means the Santana image will be seen on screen as you play along to the Santana music.

Guitar Hero 5 will feature Santana’s ‘No One To Depend On’.

“We’re thrilled to showcase one of the top guitarists of all time in Guitar Hero 5 and offer fans the opportunity to experience Carlos Santana’s signature sounds and iconic likeness first-hand,” said Tim Riley, Vice President of Music Affairs for Guitar Hero. “His accomplished career and breadth of musical style are a great illustration of the variety of rock experiences we have included in the game and we are excited to announce him as the first of five playable in-game artists.”
