we actually live in a time when we can watch TUTORIALS BY ROBBY KRIEGER.... let that sink in
For free no less
Rafael Lisboa what a time to be alive!
Exactly! We may not live in a time where we were able to witness The Doors live but at least we get this
Yes!!
Reading that just gave me goosebumps
Never thought I'd get guitar lessons from the goddamn Robby Krieger himself...bless the internet!
Right on!
Now bring on Jimmy Page!!!
烟雨 innit
And bless Robby for being in our lives.
Brian! Jimmy is fine but I think you are on the wrong planet here. Check your astral chart and ....
Were the coronavirus victims blessed before they got sick and died? UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH religious hocus pocus nonsense. :'D
ROBBY NEVER STOPPED DOING IT!!
as morrison once said: DO IT ROBBY! DO IT!!
Robby is personally teaching me. I’m definitely living in a simulation. Life can’t be this good for real. He is a guitar God to me and can you imagine what he lived through and the stories he can tell. Rock on Robby
What a blessing these lessons are
This quarantine thing can carry on if it means we get more of this !!
Blood_Hound oh yes they are, because they are from one of the best guitarists of all time
i would have never imagined getting a guitar lesson from robbie being possible
@John Henderson Straight from the horses mouth !
This lesson be a blesson
"Thank You" is not enough Robby. But, thank you.
This is the coolest thing that has happened in such a long time. One of the all-time great rock guitarists noodling on his classic hits. How freaking great is that!?! Thanks Robby!
It is a real treat.
'Oh sh*t..there goes the '54' - he's refreshingly down-to-earth. Love you, Robbie
HAHA yeah on essentially a priceless guitar.
400k guitar, no less.
I love how Robby still gets a kick out of playing his own songs.

Way too cool for school
Dont tell me you wouldn't
@CozmoChimp68 I'm talking about his guitar work on the song.
Robbie Krieger, the man who wrote "Light My Fire". If he did nothing else in his life, that classic alone should make him a musical legend, but so many great songs that came from him, and yet he remains one of the most soft spoken and humble rock guitarists I've ever seen. Thank you Robbie, your playing inspired and launched so many of us on our own musical journeys.
Hell yeah he's a legend. Everybody in the doors is a legend
@jfsfrnd care to share?
I thought Jim and Robbie both wrote lyrics for "Light My Fire", no?
@@spookiesvideogames2697 While both Jim and Robbie wrote songs together, with Robbie more often supplying the music and Jim the lyrics, surprisingly, many of the songs Robbie wrote solo, sound on first reflection of the lyrics, like "Morrison-type-songs".
But Robbie apparently had such a good ear, that he was quickly able to adapt to the "Morrison style" or "Doors Style" and subject matter. With The Soft Parade, the writing credits are clearly displayed for the first time, and would be for their remaining albums, so it's interesting to see how many "Jim Sounding Lyrics" are actually penned by Robbie:
Robbie is now generally considered to be the original creator of "Light My Fire" as detailed in Danny Sugarman's "No One Here Gets Out Alive" book of the Doors. And while the self effacing Robbie was loathe to take sole credit for it, it was indeed he who came in with the basic chords and lyrics after the full Doors first meeting, the only one of the four who actually wrote anything over that fateful first meeting weekend.
Robbie's original song was then modified. His rhythm (played originally more as a folk song) was given a faster, stronger beat and the song went from a leisurely to the now much more forceful beat we recognize it for.
Uncredited was producer Paul Rothchild's important changes in the mid part and solo section, and John was the one who, after that initial blast of the snare drum, gave it what would be something of a Latin beat throughout, unusual at the time, but it worked.
Ray was responsible for giving it that classical and now classic organ opening flourish after the snare hit which he credits somewhere to a classical song which I frankly forget the name of.
It was Jim who contributed the lyrics "No time to wallow in the mire, try now we can only lose, and our love become a funeral pyre" - which Robbie is heard recalling in one of his interviews that he was initially hesitant about, saying , "Jim, why does everything you write have to be about doom and gloom?" - but with the benefit of the hindsight of time, he said he now realizes worked perfectly.
Robbie did write many very Morrison sounding songs, here's a list of some songs people (like me!) just assume Jim wrote, and sound like definite "Morrison" songs because of the lyrics, but which Robbie actually wrote on his own: "Love Her Madly", "Peace Frog", "Ship of Fools", "Queen of the Highway". "Wishful Sinful", "Runnin' Blue" , and the hard driving "Roadhouse Blues" All of which have Jim sounding lyrics.
Hope this helps to clarify things. - DJ
Robby, you are truly humble to ever so casually make a homemade guitar lesson with nothing more than your smartphone, as if you aren't one of the greatest original rock guitarists who ever walked the face of the earth with one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time. I love and totally connect with your laid-back personality. I am forever grateful and inspired.
1000% true
I bought my son an SG 23 years ago as his first guitar because I used Robbie as a role model.
I almost dropped a tear watching him enjoy it so badly, jamming with his old friends
So wholesome
ok let's see what you got erm, FA-FUGGIN-CUNDO...
Thanks for everything, Robbie.
I don't deserve this living LEGEND teaching me his work of art for free
You could send a donation to your favorite charity in his name. People can always use a helping hand. Best Wishes
He has enough money, and you won't make any off of it, so why not teach you?
I'm worthy!
I have no problem snagging any tricks guitar legends want to throw my way.
Bring it on!
"We're not worthy!" - Wayne & Garth
It's typical Robbie tbh. Loads of Doors songs were available on Ultimate Guitar, but only if you pay premium for the official tabs, so Robbie opened up another account on there & uploaded all the tabs again with free access.
Robby Krieger, tuning a guitar and playing the blues. And then writes a song that sounds nothing like the blues. One of a kind dude, one of a kind band.
Psychedelic blues
"Do it, Robby, do it" and he never stopped doing it!! He's a LEGEND!!
Thank you Robby. This is so special in thsese " Strange days"You are the best. And The Doors is my favorite rock group of all time. I love you and your songs forever. I got all your albums and the film. Miss Ray and Jim. Stay safe💜💜💜
We live in a WONDERFUL time. It seems so magical to me ... The Doors have meant, mean and will mean a lot to me. It is so special to be able to see Robby playing for everyone.
Thanks a lot.

Wow! If there's something I never thought would be possible was that one day, I'd be able to look up Robby Krieger's nose after a guitar lesson!
A REAL GENTLEMAN. A MILESTONE IN ROCK MUSIC HISTORY, HE ACTS WITH SUCH A HUMILITY, NOT PRETENDING TO BE THE GREAT ROCKSTAR HE ACTUALLY IS. RESPECT!
I was a teenager in late 60 s when I I first heard Doors music, light my fire, on radio. Went to record shop, listened to the lp, was knocked out by the music. Still love it today, have all their music , on vynil.
Robbie Krieger is one of the most awesome and best guitarists of all time!! I will always love and respect The Doors and there legendary Music for life!!!!!!😎🤘🏿👍🏿
“Indian Summer” still an all time favorite as well. Transcendent.
Man, is a very beautiful song, I love it
Indian summer is one of the greatest songs ever recorded
Juke Joint Jack You have Excellent taste Sir.
That’s my fav Doors piece. Such an evocative tune.
Iconic 1954 Les Paul falls over: “There goes the 54! Sumbitch” Haha 😂
Thank you Robby!!! Be careful with that Black Beauty 😳 Love your slide playing.
It's so much fun to watch Robby and it's so nice he's doing all those lessons for us!!
He definitely needs a actual camera, looks like he has so much fun showing us his things!!
ССR AND THE DOORS ua-cam.com/video/sFUJEo9B2tQ/v-deo.html
How lucky we are to have Mr. Krieger with us. Thanks 🙏🏽♥️
Thanks Robbie!
It’s Hank! I never expected to see you here! I’ve watched your entire catalog a hundred times over! You’re by far the most entertaining storm
chaser I’ve ever seen on TV or the internet, and your amazing footage combined with the creepy yet pretty music is absolutely spellbinding! Please keep doing what you do!
Robby these lessons are amazing, stay safe!
It's so beautiful how that's the guitar he used to record the song! 😍
This man is so underrated
Legend......
yeah, this guy is an amazing musician!!!!!
I once sang "Moonlight Drive" on the roof of the apt. building where Morrison purportedly wrote the song.
That's awesome
I’m gonna cry god seriously i would die to see you playing live, I have NO words to describe this
I feel ya. I saw the Robbie and Ray play in a small venue in the Vegas Hard Rock Hotel front row against the stage. My date grabbed Rays foot! That's how close we were. It was surreal and it was packed inside and a night I won't ever forget. Im 47 and a life long Doors fan. I have no shame in admitting that I got teary during the show. I can only imagine what it must've been like with Jim singing. The energy was intense.
@@aland4440 i felt the same way when i saw him and his son play. I thought they recruited a damn good Jim impersonator, but later found out it was his son
Alan D sure it was amazing, how lucky you are!! I’m just 17 but spent all my life with the Doors; when it comes to appreciate good music the age definitely doesn’t matter.
@@dietbunzz1227 the singer from Fuel sang when I saw them. He was really good.
Hard to believe he'd only been playing a few years when he came up with all this stuff. Much respect.
And was playing mostly flamenco. Musical genius.
A few months on electric...its a great story..
its basic delta blues and a slide guitar open G tuning. he learned it from others.
The first song he ever wrote was Light My Fire...you can't really beat that. Crazy.
Think about the others he had to work with. A pretty good mix of talent.
there is something eerie and melancholy about all of these Doors videos post-Jim - you can just sense how much each and every one of them misses him - and now Ray - and playing in the band and now that two of them have passed you sense John and Robbie know their time is nearing as well - its like time stood still for all of them since Jim died - you watch Robbie here and you just sense he is drifting back to those days and thoughts must be flashing through his head of how it was then - will be one hell of a gig once they all reunite - you can sense their loss so much its like part of them died and they are mourning like a dog that never leaves the grave of his owner - I think The Doors were one of the closest bands of all time ...
The smile on his face; you can almost see the memories!! 🎸❤️
It's unbelievable that Robbie and so many other icons are sharing their cool tracts on UA-cam. Gosh, wish I'd had all these lessons back in the 70's. Highschool would've been so much cooler...
Robbie, thanks for sharing. Take care and be well!
I 💓 Robbie! He is my quarantine buddy! 🎵
A special magic associated with getting it straight from the songwriter. Old school confidence but tempered with humility---a lost virtue.
How can people not love and appreciate this?! Thanks Robby!
Robbie, You and the rest of the band were pure magic. You all deserve the timeless appreciation for what you created. Thank You so much, it can't be stated enough. A lesson on LA Woman would be amazing.
I highly doubt he'll see this but Robby is one of my favorite guitarists and such a huge inspiration. I love you, man.

There is simply nobody like Robby Krieger.
He somehow makes the world more fun.
It's weird watching "someone" play the song on youtube in their house, just to a boombox version or whatever and kind of chatting with everyone...and then realize it's the guy who created the part....lol
I got into the Doors around 1983 when I picked up a cassette (yup...I'm old) of "The Doors - 13"......that started me down a long path with them....I ended up with all of their albums and they were MY band throughout high school and college.......in fact, in high school, I so badly wanted to play like Ray Manzarek....so I begged my my parents for a keyboard (which would have been a Korg Poly 800 at the time), and Christmas morning, I saw the large box and excitedly opened it....and found an electric guitar.......so, I had to switch hero's and suddenly I was trying to learn every Doors song I could :-)
Everyone always talks about Jim.....and, of course, I idolized Jim Morrison.....but...in truth, I always had more respect for Ray/Robby/John, because as I learned just how "unstable" performances could be with Jim......I realized it took a pretty tight crew to be able to hold things together while he was sometimes coming apart....lol.
I listen to the old live tracks on youtube , Germany was one, and the quality of solos during songs from each band member and the synchronicity is really outstanding 👌
The Doors are my absolute favorite. Every Doors song is great. Moonlight Drive is one of my top joints from them. Doors fan since teenager. That was many moons ago. Peace to all my DOORS brothers and sisters!
The Doors are still ahead of the time, circa 2020
Yes they are.
Which is why so many of the current group of teens (aka GenZ) LOVE the music of The Doors!!!
Does more than stand the test of time totally agree it’s super fresh not just Jim the whole damn band so different from the jam bands of the day they all had their place Doors music will live for ever till the end of time 😉
What a tired statement. What does it mean to be “ahead of their time”????
Not sure about ahead of the time, but definitely timeless at this point.
What a special treat-like a private lesson from a Master. Been playing the Doors for decades and yet it still sounds fresh and current. Make the hair on your arms stand up when you hear your favorite song of theirs. Thanks and Cheers!
thank you Robbie- you've been my hero for 50 years
Muy gratificante y liberador porder escucharlo en estos momentos
'Ave The Doors. Robby, your music is as pure as your beautiful soul. Ever grateful to you for sharing the magick.
Best regards
Kenny
Exacto ¡ órale !
Simon vato
This man is one of my absolute guitar inspirations. Criminally underrated.
Cory Claxton no he isn’t underrated at all. He was the guitarist for one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. Why am I even responding to such an absurd comment
@@jeff7764 For guys such as you and I The Doors are an essential rock band, but many actually dismiss them as having no musical integrity. A fact that not only baffles me but pisses me off. They're clearly Morrison haters.
Salty TSP got the surprise of a lifetime when someone asked me to see the Doors at the Neptune Theater in Seattle. Was a great time!
We miss all of you and we know that you miss us, but we will meet again.
Thank you for giving so many people a life that was different.
I read everything out there, anything I could about the doors or Jim Morrison. Thank you mister Robby Krieger for All of the good music,an bringing the magic alive.My father just crossed over, he introduced me to the doors as a small child....best gift he gave to me....keep on rockin!Peace
Does anyone else get an overwhelming feeling of nostalgia when watching this ? Thank u Robbie again and again . Just love these lessons , listening to you and you sharing your killer guitar collection .. Cannot get any closer to rock and roll history than this
The Song That Started It All. 🌕🎸
Love you Robby! I wish I were as fresh you are now when I get your age. You are part of a one an only generation that we the youngsters are proud to still enjoy. Peace from Spain!
Currently this is my favourite guitar solo. Crunchy, swooping, incisive, just a fantastic piece of music.
After 55 years "we are go inside the Doors" . Thank you!!
I love the Internet, how awesome is it to have RK himself teaching the world Doors' songs?
Anybody watching this should see it as inspiration and what you can become if you find what you’re good at and don’t give up. One day some youngster who isn’t even born yet might be looking at you as an inspiration for the things that you did and pass it forward!
Mr. Robby Krieger,you still are the man!!! Wish you all the best
Awesome! Love your guitars!!
The best classical guitarist ever known A man who never sought fame Unique style Why is the best
My all time favorite American Band, The DOORS...! I have all the albums vinyl and cd's and the outake album, everything and all the books....Light My Fire by Robbie in my top 5 all time favorite songs....! 1967 I graduated HS..... (I'm a south side of Chicago guy like Ray, who was from Bridgeport)... What a song Light My Fire is and I still listen to it all the time..... I remember that summer well... Thanks, Robbie! GG...IN
I used to fall asleep to the Doors music. So many favorites...This one is outstanding. I am a guitar player and Robby is one of my favorites. I had a roommate when I was in my early 20's. Unreal drummer and his bands were incredible...played with many pro's and won't bore you with the details. Anyhow, drunken I used to love pounding on his drum kit, (everyone would scream at me to knock it off). Their guitar player started with this riff at a house party...I jumped off the drums and started singing in my best Morrison voice. The next 2 hours it was me and the guitar player doing Doors tunes. I thought it was just a goof, but the musicians there thought the two of us were incredible, (I am not a singer BTW). I love the Doors and I love Robbie...
Glad to see you doing well Robby!! Love moonlight drive!!🤘im a Doors fanatic!! I got the Doors running through my blood😊
Can Robby teach us wild child next?
Yes please!
I think last week he said he’d be teaching “Spanish Caravan” soon.
Yiiiisssss
Love that song. I recorded wild child from album to CD and play it my car and it sounds so full, better than vinyl, in my car when I ride!
Please!!!!!!
Love this! Thank you Robbie Krieger for posting this and for being a true rock and roll legend. Thank you for moonlight drive ❤
Thank you, Robby Krieger, God Bless ya. Stay Healthy!!
I was born in 1980...and you where my 1st band I put into the 8 track player....I have always wanted to tell you guys I love your music...and I would do what ever I could to meet him if he was a live ..and if I ever get a chance to meet you and ray ...Rob I would cry....you guys are still a big part of this planet please stay healthy....just knowing you have a chance to read this is unbelievable...I hope to party with Jim one day in heaven...I know he got his wings smooth as Ravens claws...🙏🏼 Long live the DOORS...
Ray also left for pastures new in 2013 in fact....only robbie n john left now 😢
8 tracks went out in the 70s. wtf dude? lol
These videos are so awesome Robbie! If I may say,, even if they are shaky videos, it is still 100% worth watching. I was born in August 1972, so I missed out on you guys playing live. You guys kept to yourselves pretty much after Jim passed. Now that you are doing these videos, it seems to be fulfilling a lost piece of history nobody has ever known about.... You in particular.
I just want to say Thank You!
Man thats like sitting there with him watching Robbie playing along with his past self timwwarp cool. Awesome 🤟
Thank you for the lesson Robby! The Doors will always remain my favorite band. I keep going back there for some reason. Timeless magic
Great genius , thank for all. salute you from ARGENTINA
Chilled and down-to-earth. Class act.
Moonlight Drive has been my ringtone for years, maybe 15 years, brilliant song
Robby If you ever read this, God bless you. You're a living legend. Forever young deep down. I love the Doors and being able to learn to play some of your songs by none other than yourself it's sn amazing feeling.
Dear Mr Robbie Krieger....
You are the man and thanks for posting that during this pandemic.
I'm 57 and would have loved to have seen see the Doors live (Absolutely Live).
Thank you soooo much!
It helps .
I was jaming moonlight drive while cooking dinner earlier and this is came in ! Thank you Mr. Robby ! You're truely legend !
one of the greatest songs from the greatest band of all time!
Hey Robby - Your videos always make my day. Thanks for taking the time to teach us your songs, show us your gear and share your stories! Like for so many us, your music is part of the soundtrack to my life and was there to enrich my youth. Bless you and be well!
At the beginning Robbie was playing “Little red rooster”
Yah man, when I first go to open g it's almost instinctual to play that, almost like smoke in the water when u first pick up a guitar
This is one of the best things that happened during this quarantine, this series is so cozy and comfortable to watch. I remember dressing myself as Robby for a presentation about blues and rock music during middle school and I had to play the harmonica because I had just started to learn the guitar, wish I could've rocked Moonlight Drive at the time haha. Thank you for everything Rob, really. Love you and The Doors.
Thank you so much Robby from the bottom of my heart for taking your time and doing this for us fans and viewers I feel blessed.😎✌
Dear Robby, I am grown up with your songs in Germany. I love to see you playing. Thank you so much!
Robby you are a legend man. I love you and the rest of the doors ofc ! Band of my life .Stay cool
Mis respetos para ud sr krieger una influencia para muchos guitarristas saludos desde mexico se le quiere mucho alla y a los doors tambien. Mis respetos ❤
Roberto García ¡ claro ! ¡ órale !
thanks robbie for taking the time to show your guitar playing fans how to play those great sounding guitar parts
I salute to the man himself Robby Krieger and moonlight drive is one of those songs that will stick in your head for a while but it's just the coolest song
This is so important. I love how he doesn't even care yet this is literally as historic of a lesson as it comes. There's nothing like learning from the master himself .
Thanks so much Robbie, love moonlight drive !!!
Robby.....once again.....Thank You, lessons by the actual artist are golden nuggets for those of us trying to emulate your work.
I love the fact that these videos aren't highly produced. It's just Robby, by himself, probably filming it with his phone. Please keep it that way!
You saw it here folks, a 1960 Sunburst banged into a 1954 black beauty. Hardcore. You know Robbie was swearing a storm after that video ended and is still pissed about it
Nothing to it. Ya know, Pete Townsend snd Jimi both used to beat the sh!t outta all their guitars.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, Robbie! "Moonlight Drive" has always been one of my favorite Doors songs. SO COOL to see the master at work.
The best memories for this man I'm sure... God bless you Robby Krieger...
I had the incredibly chance privilege of getting guitar lessons the 80’s from Robby’s bass player at the time, Rick Moors, at JB Wilson’s guitar shop in Woodland Hills, CA.
I would ask Rick, how to play LA Woman, or Light My Fire, or whatever, and he ask Robbie. The next week, Rick would show me what Robby shared with him.
I was so blessed by Rick and Robby. It is almost unfathomable to me that I was connected to these two dear and patient souls, taking time to share Robby’s and The Doors’ music with a greasy, curious 17 year-old me. Even to this day, blows my mind.
Thank you Robby and Rick, for adding that magic to my life!
Mr. Krieger, I can't even begin to tell you how important you have been in my life. These tutorials are the cherry on top on a long list of blessings I have received from you.
Hi!, Please a lesson guitar of the song "The End"... 🙇
Mr. Krieger. Just letting you know you ( and the rest of the crew) are still 'lighting my fire'. Thank you for your music. Take that 'Les Paul' with you. Wherever you go. I enjoy your lesson(s).
OMGuitar this is soooo cool. A personal tuitorial with the maestro Robby Krieger. Always love Robbys slide playing.. I understand that when Robby first played slide style at an early rehearsal with the Doors Jim was realy blown away by the sound and atmosphere and suggested that Robby use slide on everything. That 54 Les Paul is in fantastic condition, I felt it as it hit the floor, obviously some of Morrisons spirit in that guitar.
