Do not buy!

This is NOT a note for note transcription. There are no solos - especially not the cool hammond solo in the middle of the song. The famous tinkling piano part is not written out either. This was a complete waste of money.

Sadly, I must agree...

...with the other reviewers criticisms. This is the "band camp" version of the song. Where a classic rock number is bastardized to the point that middle school bands can play it. Its fine if you dont particularly like the song. A fan of the song is just going to grit their teeth and wait for it to be over. I read the review before I bought it, but convinced myself that "maybe" it will get better after the introduction. It did not. No solos. Just the lyrics and chorus, over and over. If music-notes had had a longer sample, I would have never bought this. I would have selected one of the other versions. Run, dont walk away from this one.

Carry On My Wayward Son

Very basic. Wish it had the solo sections.
