I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I love it when you dive into Robbie Krieger's material. His was one of the most unique and authentic blues-rock styles, but he rarely gets mentioned for it. This is a great lesson, as always ...
Robby has a video where he shows how he plays it. It's a hammer on, not a slide. The 1st fret notes are like you said, almost glossing over them. Big fan of your lessons.
Hey man, I am 42 and a begginer at guitar. Your videos have been a blessing. Love them specially CCR. Cant wait to go home and practice this one. Doors are awesome! Cheers from Arizona 🍻
Can’t wait to watch this video later. About 10 years ago I was in a classic rock cover band in a music store in Nashville and this is one of the songs we did. I played the harmonica part on guitar. Lol.
What's truly amazing is that Roadhouse Blues was the B side to the You Make Me Real single. Morrison Hotel was recorded August-Nov '69, released Feb '70.
One of my favourite "The Doors" songs.... you nailed it.... I will have to take a long time to do this one, but, once again...Thank you, Thank you, Thank You...!!!!!
A classic tune from Morrison Hotel - excellent breakdown and instruction Doug. Really appreciate you profiling the talent of Robbie Krieger and his ability to play the blues while accentuating the sound of the other members of the band. Some other good groves off that album. Peace Frog?
One of my favourite Doors songs… I’ve always been a Rhythm and Riffiin’ player. I love doing songs with a hard driving R&B sound. Now I know I’ve been playing this song wrong for about the last 50yrs. 😉 Thx again for another great song tutorial 😎🎸 ATB
I always loved playing this live. Its a jam that grabs 'em up and puts 'em on the dance floor. You can easily extend the song too. Lots of fun. Appreciated.
Well done. Your comments about playing to support the vocal, not step on it, will be helpful to newer players. Playing dynamics are really important, especially with an open, sort of loose groove like this song. Not only does that let the vocal stand out when it should, it gives the guitar a nice perceived boost when you play where's there's no vocals, and pick a little harder.... or mellow it way out playing very softly.
Me too bro,, he had a very unique style ! He was a finger picker,,,which to me is crazy !!! But that goes back to his earlier years as a practicing flamenco player. It's a crazy combination, but he made it all fit perfectly!!!! When you think about it, the entire band was a crazy combination !!! Keep on Rockn Bro ! 😂👍🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thanks!….hey man…I have played this song many years ago..WRONG ,,,,lol,,,,well at least I knew it-- I was close… just needed to fine tune it….thanks again… a group of professional musicians in Chicago just pick me up to finalize their line up for a Chicago-based classic rock dance band…. I needed to make sure I got this song right.
He does teach it on UA-cam himself, and he uses hammer ons in the main riff, not slides. I agree that it's not a clean sound and the recording sounds like slides (which he MAY have used), but i thinks that sound also might arise from the fact that he's probably using upstrokes with his fingers on those triplets, whereas I notice you are using picked downstrokes there. Like you say, it's loose, as ones approach should also be, but I think it's interesting to attempt to discern how an artists approach affects the outcome. Your amp tone is spot on. Thanks for the lesson!
Really Great Video! Doors has always been a favorite! Your Sound on this is Amazing! Spot On! Looking forward to more videos on dialing in your sound.. Thank You from Colorado! Glenn
My friend here in Glasgow was touring as a guitarist with Simple Minds and spent a day with Robbie Krieger. I haven’t seen him since he got back to ask him about it.
Fantastic I was playing this with a band last year and as usual you picked up a couple of things I missed, absolutely love your channel for all those little details
So many great rock cliques in there that this makes for a great lesson, just for all the different little licks and styles thrown in there. Great lesson overall! Thanks!
Robby Krieger was one of the most underrated guitarist of the ages!! Back then you didn't need pedals to get your sound. It was always included in all your amps and gear. How about JH 'Love or Confusion' for a lesson??
I wish you’d do Frank Marino’s version. Or anything else from Frank. I’ve been playing since 1977 and keep learning that virtual everything I play is wrong. Thanks for all the lessons.
Thanks for this. I think the reason you hear Robby Krieger hitting individual notes on the verse licks is that he plays with his fingers and not a pick. There's a video of him on YT showing how he plays it and it's a thumb and fingers affair.
Luv the lesson my Brother and the SG !!! Been wanting to buy one for a long, long time ! They are not cheap ! But sooner or later I will build up the balls to part with the money !!! Lol !!! I am not cheap, but have 5 other axes, and one asks himself, do I really need another one ? Addiction is a terrible thing ! 😂😂😂✌️🎸🎸🎸✊️✊️✊️🎸🎸
Great tutorial!! Not sure if Robbie recorded the song with the SG. Much of his recording studio material was performed on his Black Beauty Les Paul Custom.
Love the video, thanks. Seeing as Robbie plays with his fingers, it would be perhaps easier (and certainly quite different) for him when working through the solos. Not sure if you are in the band, or just wearing the t-shirt, but please say hi to George!
Like I say within the first minute or so, all my videos have chapters in them so you can click right to the part you to see, so just know if you come back to visit again (and I hope you do) just jump to the playing parts if that is what you are after.
Saw him live in '09 front row, Robbie played right in front of me whole show was his marker. I was 10 feet from him. As a guitarist amazing guitar lesson from Robby Krieger first hand. To see Spanish Caravan played properly in front of you finger style is amazing.
I WANT Several Says, but I'll have to go with Epiphone, or Other - I have a Harley Benton, tuned to Open E for Slide - something that is gong to Take Time but I really want to EMBRACE, Duane Allman!! And, Tom Gray of DELTA MOON, an Atlanta based Band - his passed away about 2 years ago... after extensive battle with that cancer monster... , but He Never Quit playing and his 2nd Guitarist, Mark Johnson - ch😅 put their album version, first and then the Live version of, R.L. Burnside's, Goin' Down South!!! All the Best!!
Come on man. I bet it’s the only tune you can play ? Show off ? Don’t make a science of it just play. Did you know ? Most of hits of 70? We’re made accidentally?? Beeng drunk ? Or drugs ?
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: I love it when you dive into Robbie Krieger's material. His was one of the most unique and authentic blues-rock styles, but he rarely gets mentioned for it. This is a great lesson, as always ...
“I just happen to have a 1968 SG Special…”
So cool.
Listening to the beak-down of this song makes me realize what a true masterpiece this is way beyond the vocals I've always appreciated so much.
Robby has a video where he shows how he plays it. It's a hammer on, not a slide. The 1st fret notes are like you said, almost glossing over them. Big fan of your lessons.

Nice work 12Ft, as I have always been a Fan of Robbie Krieger & The Doors. Happy Easter ♪♫♪♫♪

It's such a great hook 12 foot. Keep um coming. You're lesson are the best.
Thank you!

great stuff wish i could do what you do ,
You get a lot of energy when teaching us The Doors music! We do to, many of their ideas are SO SIMPLE yet so musical and effective. Thanks!

Nice lesson, again.
That SG is gorgeous

Hi Alex greetings from up the road in Dundee, Doug’s videos are excellent cheers🏴
@@philipgolden8121 cheers mate.
Another Scottish viewer here 🏴
You nailed that tone...
Fantastic I was playing this with a band last year and as usual you picked up a couple of things I missed, absolutely love your channel for all those little details
Love the Doors , this is great !
Thanks!!! Another, Favorite!! I saw The Back Doors in Atlanta - they were Quite Good!!!
So many great rock cliques in there that this makes for a great lesson, just for all the different little licks and styles thrown in there. Great lesson overall! Thanks!
I Love the Official Musical Notation! I’m plugging in, mixing and a matching! Thanks!
You are awsome my brother from Warren 😎
Great jam!! Thanks for the lesson!

Gonna have a real good time. Great lesson! Thank you.
Simple minds waterfront
Intro always reminds me of roadhouse blues ...
I wish you’d do Frank Marino’s version. Or anything else from Frank. I’ve been playing since 1977 and keep learning that virtual everything I play is wrong. Thanks for all the lessons.
3 whole minutes before I hear a single guitar note played. I was thinking this lesson better be bloody good
So, turn off the video and learn it yourself…
Absolutely love these lessons but they could be edited down in half for sure.
Fantastic lesson.Love this. Have an SG plus Lyre and just had it cranked as I type....
You rock master greets from Mexico
Greetings
Thanks for this. I think the reason you hear Robby Krieger hitting individual notes on the verse licks is that he plays with his fingers and not a pick. There's a video of him on YT showing how he plays it and it's a thumb and fingers affair.
I like this detail!
I thought how wrong I've been playing it. Very cool...I'll be doing it proper from now on!
great breakdown and explanation of how to play. i play most songs wrong lol. your lessons really help me improve.
Great lesson, many thanks ! 🙂👍
A great sound/tone, but what a great riff and song. Again, a good lesson to a very cool song. 👍👍👍
Luv the lesson my Brother and the SG !!! Been wanting to buy one for a long, long time ! They are not cheap ! But sooner or later I will build up the balls to part with the money !!! Lol !!! I am not cheap, but have 5 other axes, and one asks himself, do I really need another one ? Addiction is a terrible thing ! 😂😂😂✌️🎸🎸🎸✊️✊️✊️🎸🎸
Great tutorial!! Not sure if Robbie recorded the song with the SG. Much of his recording studio material was performed on his Black Beauty Les Paul Custom.
best tut ever, thanks man !!!!
I've been waiting for this one!
Nice. Love that guitar 🎉
What a fantastic video have a wonderful Easter long weekend doug ❤😊
It's a hammer on.
Awesome tune Awesome lesson
Can’t wait to dig in!
Love the video, thanks. Seeing as Robbie plays with his fingers, it would be perhaps easier (and certainly quite different) for him when working through the solos.
Not sure if you are in the band, or just wearing the t-shirt, but please say hi to George!
Awesome. Thank you 🎉
Can't even remember how many times I played that song in smoke filled dive bar.
THE guitar!❤
3-1/2 minutes before a note is played. Nice.
Like I say within the first minute or so, all my videos have chapters in them so you can click right to the part you to see, so just know if you come back to visit again (and I hope you do) just jump to the playing parts if that is what you are after.
Frighin Awesome Sir!
Great tone!
Thank You...❤
Thank you so much
Love the shirt, they’re really good!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
P.S. So are you!
Great tutorials. I have a song suggestion the original: Rock me baby by BB king. thks
Thank you!
Great lesson as always. Would like to request "The End" the next time you do a Doors lesson.
Your lessons stand out. Are you a studio musician.
No, but would love to try that
I would like to learn Kozmic Blues by Janis Joplin blues group . Also Summertime ....
There's an alternate take solo on the studio footage of Summertime on UA-cam.
Love it!🎉
Great lesson but can we have LA Woman, please?
That’s just some simple elegance there my friend.
Is that the 2012 Robbie's tribute Gibson?
Love it man!
Nice Axe.
Great. Lonnie mack
Great song. Cheers
Awesome original song but I prefer status quos version
Beautiful. Fellow Guitar Players, Subscribe, and Have Fun. Lots of info in these Clips
Thank you!
haha he said duh? awesome!! thankyou man!
Great lesson as always! I always wondered why Krieger used solid state amps (Acoustics?) instead of a good old Fender Twin, for example.
He used Acoustic amps only live. All studio work was recorded with a Twin Reverb.
Where did you pick up that shirt? Interesting take on the zoso symbol.. Awesome channel
That’s a band that does Zeppelin covers. Great stuff!
Look up pfoz on youtube. People's front of Zeppelin. Love what those guys do
@@12footchain in checking them out I've seen some of their vids before.. Buddy does a great job covering Plant. Thanks for the reply.
Epic!
Doing us right!
I still wonder, how a roadhouse can make you sad.
I cut the chain! I'm playing with my transmitter/receiver toy!😂
Robby doesn’t actually use a pick
You're right
Saw him live in '09 front row, Robbie played right in front of me whole show was his marker. I was 10 feet from him. As a guitarist amazing guitar lesson from Robby Krieger first hand. To see Spanish Caravan played properly in front of you finger style is amazing.
Why slides????

Caught Delta Moon at the Kitchener Blues festival in Ont Canada about 15yrs ago, great band.
yes, muting is THAT important here! Here you will hear if people can play a proper shuffle beat....many think they can but when they play it...grrrhhh
I thought the guy with the guitar at a glance was Pauley Shore, lol.
Step one... Get a Quarter... Or a Nickel in a pinch 😂
Also Robbie hardly ever used a pick which is why his thumb on his right hand has been worn down to a 1/4 inch nub.
Ha, made you look.
So much blabbing, get to the riffs man!!! Adios

Come on man. I bet it’s the only tune you can play ? Show off ? Don’t make a science of it just play. Did you know ? Most of hits of 70? We’re made accidentally?? Beeng drunk ? Or drugs ?
