    Learn how to play Riders on the Storm, as performed by The Doors from their 1970 L.A. Woman album. A super interesting song carrying forward inspiration from Ghost Riders in the Sky combined with storm sound effects, and dark but beautiful lyric pictures painted by Jim Morrison.
    The lesson covers Robbie Krieger's great guitar work AND I'll show you how to play the keyboard intro and the keyboard solo on guitar too.

    It was brought to my attention that the Ray Manzarek keys part is a D Maj scale, not Em as I had said in the vid. One note difference, but oh well. The chart in the vid is correct, just got the scale name wrong.

    • @srwaite7

      Emi is the second diatonic scale degree in D major so you are in the harmonic ballpark 😎

      I think we would call it E dorian? an E minor scale with same key signature, notes, as D major. Has a major 6th, but the minor 6th (C) does also appear in the C chord

    That's what I'm talking about! I believe I requested this recently, including the keyboard solo and the outro. Thank you for taking the time to put together this tour de force of a lesson, keeping it approachable, and revealing a little bit of what makes this song so otherworldly and yet such a classic. I have no idea how you will top this one, but I look forward to future lessons!

    There's a great video if you can find it of Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger talking about writing the song. They said it was based on Ghost Riders In The Sky.

    Now you need do The End so I might finally know the question that’s bedeviled me for so long. What /how is the plinking sound at the start of the song. played? I have had ideas but they’ve proven to be incorrect!

    Yes, skip down/up one...isn't that Magic Fingers by Zappa..?
    Actually, probably more like skip down four and up one... can't be sure; I'm driving... (also, it only works if your fingers turn into little snakes on the fretboard....)
