How to Play "Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas

Hey, this is Joe Wiles with the Rock and Roll Conservatory, on behalf of Expert Village. Let's look at Kansas, Carry On My Wayward Son. Now this is a single note, riff based piece. It looks like this. On the low E, you play the 5th fret, 3rd fret, OK? A string, 3rd fret. Repeat. Then 5th fret on the A string. At that point, you slide up from the 5th fret of the A string to the 7th. 5th fret on the D string. We're going to do a pull-off here on the A string from the 7th to the 5th. Go down to the 8th fret on the E string. Then we're going to come back down, 5th fret A string, 3rd fret E string, 2nd fret E string. Slowly, that sounds like this. To speed, that sounds like this. That one is a lot of fun. It's a real easy pentatonic based riff. In our next video segment, we're going to do Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters. See you there.
