Kansas - Carry on My Wayward Son.
                                   Written by Ldvader.

        For those of you who have looked, there aren't many tabs out there for this song. 
There is one other tab for this song on this sight. I must say, though it is close, it 
does lack a few parts and the fingering is very difficult to do. So, here is my tab on 
it. It is complete, it is not only right on with the music, but it is quite easy to do.

Key: p = Pull Off
     <---> = special instructions. 
Tuning: Standard (GDAE)

     And that is all there is to it. I must say, this was a fun one to learn to play. 
The hardest parts I found to play were the Breakdowns and parts of the Conclusion.
Only advise I have on those parts is just take it slow. Get your fingering down 
and the motion. If you can do it slow, you can work on the speed. It is the easiest 
way I have found to do it. As for the Conclusion, that is lines 2 and 4 of the 
conclusion, I found that if you hit the E sting with your 1st finger, you can use 
your 3rd finger to get the 4th fret on the D string and rotate between your 1st 
and 3rd fingers to get D2 and A4 and then use your 1st finger on D2 again. The
Open strings A0 and E0 give you a rest, then do it again. You can also use your pinky 
instead of your 3rd finger. I find that might make it easier if your good with your 
pinky.
