Lockdown Licks no. 303. “Carry On Wayward Son” by Kansas. Signature lead riff and 5th chord riff in style of Kerry Livgren original. An iconic heavy rock riff used throughout the song and often repeated.
Played on a Harley Benton 35+ guitar set mid pu position, which uses both humbuckers… vol 8, both tones on about 7.
Into a NUX M8 amp set to ‘superlead’ with some reverb.
