    Learn how to play Roadhouse Blues, as performed by The Doors released on their 1970 Morrison Hotel album. A great blues based jam in E that every bar band must be ready to play :-) . As I say, it's definitely a classic rock "staple".
    The lesson covers all the rhythm and lead guitar parts that Robbie Krieger plays on this classic.

    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 ...

      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 ! 😂👍🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶

  • @MichaelReeps
    @MichaelReeps 3 месяца назад

    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.

  • @markdesod561
    @markdesod561 3 месяца назад

    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??
