Hey Aaron great video, very good playing. Man you really should make a tutorial of the solo part. I don´t know how many people already asked me to do it, because of my "Foreplay" tutorial. I hope to learn the solo from you soon! Keep on rockin´ greetz from Brazil.

@rushyeskansas Thanks for your comment! I downloaded a midi file that I thought sounded pretty close to the real solo. Then, I looked at the solo parts in the staff view from within Cakewalk. I learned the solo at a slower speed and brought it up to speed. I'm sure that the solo I played here is not note-for-note accurate. But, it works for what I need out of it. I probably play it a little differently every time. Your video tutorial on "Carry On My Wayward Son" is great!

Aaron, Very nice work. I am just working the song out to play in my band and it is a handful. And I am an accomplished pianist! I don't have cakewalk, but is that something you can get free on the internet or can files be shared? My hat is off to you on this solo. Your fingering is perfect. Thanks for sharing. Now if you could make a tutorial for accomplished hackers like me and slowed it WAY down we would love you. Thanks for the inspiration. Steve from Cal.

@awaken77 I'm mostly playing around with the A minor Blues scale and A minor Pentatonic scales. Thanks for your interest in my video and for your question.
