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!
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.
@@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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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💜💜💜
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!!
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.
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
It's unbelievable that Robbie and so many other icons are sharing their cool tracts on TH-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!
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
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.
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!!!!!!😎🤘🏿👍🏿
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.
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...
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!
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
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 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!
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 .
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.
Thanks for everything Robby! Just bought myself a Les Paul birds eye maple top and practicing with your videos, wish I was born 30yrs earlier! Give my love to John & Ray 😉
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 👌
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!
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 ❤
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 .
Greetings Robbie. Lifelong fan here. I'm in love with the guitar from all styles... But The Doors is my favorite band. My favorite style. Psychedelic rock.. Much love and respect!
Moonlight Drive is essenrially my favorite Doors tune. Thinking more on meeting Robby and his son in Seattle 20 years ago, and his genuine kindness, I later swung by the Seattle waterfront after work several years later and watched the group live when Ray and Robby toured with The Cult singer. It was funny because I, along with many others, was just on the waterfront walkway and it was like you were in the crowd, but didn't have to buy a ticket to the show. A lot of folks who bought tickets were looking back on all of us enjoying the free waterfront show clearly annoyed, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. It didn't matter that it wasn't Jim Morrison, along with John Densmore, maybe even L.A. Woman era Jerry Scheff on bass, up there, although that would have obviously been top choice in an alternate universe, it just mattered that Ray and Robby were up there with a full band playing live.
Robbie your'e guitar work truly got me into the door, and Jims voice of course. Great to see you in these videos. You're one of my heroes brother. Glasgow - Scotland !
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 ...
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
ROBBY NEVER STOPPED DOING IT!!
as morrison once said: DO IT ROBBY! DO IT!!
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
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.
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.
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...
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
'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 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 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!

"Thank You" is not enough Robby. But, thank you.
"Do it, Robby, do it" and he never stopped doing it!! He's a LEGEND!!
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.
This man is so underrated
Legend......
yeah, this guy is an amazing musician!!!!!
Thanks for everything, Robbie.
4:55 Fascinating, when he starts playing, it sounds almost exactly like the recording, Much better than the other videos on TH-cam. :-D

Chilled and down-to-earth. Class act.
Robby.....once again.....Thank You, lessons by the actual artist are golden nuggets for those of us trying to emulate your work.
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.
thanks robbie for taking the time to show your guitar playing fans how to play those great sounding guitar parts
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!
How majestic to have a tutorial of the mythical Robby, greetings teacher, thanks for your humble contribution!
Bravissimo!!!!👌👍
I was jaming moonlight drive while cooking dinner earlier and this is came in ! Thank you Mr. Robby ! You're truely legend !
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.😎✌
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 .
Robbie, you're a kind man to share this with the world.
You've inspired me since I was a boy.
Thanks!
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!!!!!!
Thank you for the lesson Robby! The Doors will always remain my favorite band. I keep going back there for some reason. Timeless magic
Thanks so much Robbie, love moonlight drive !!!
It's a honor to learn from Robbie himself!!!

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 👌
Moonlight Drive has been my ringtone for years, maybe 15 years, brilliant song
The best classical guitarist ever known A man who never sought fame Unique style Why is the best
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!
You guys were innovators and all your songs are timeless classic.
Robby Krieger Tutorial are the best. I can't believe.It is superb. Thanks Robby from Argentina!!!!!!
Iconic 1954 Les Paul falls over: “There goes the 54! Sumbitch” Haha 😂
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!
Robby you are a legend man. I love you and the rest of the doors ofc ! Band of my life .Stay cool
Living legend. Wow! Kinda' still get them chills, even now! Rob still Rocks!!!

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 .
God bless you Mr. Krieger. I've loved your music since the day I've had ears to listen.
Hi!, Please a lesson guitar of the song "The End"... 🙇
The homie Krieger, Love you man! Thank you for your gift of music and sharing it to the world 🎸🌎
Greetings Robbie. Lifelong fan here. I'm in love with the guitar from all styles... But The Doors is my favorite band. My favorite style. Psychedelic rock.. Much love and respect!
Moonlight Drive is essenrially my favorite Doors tune. Thinking more on meeting Robby and his son in Seattle 20 years ago, and his genuine kindness, I later swung by the Seattle waterfront after work several years later and watched the group live when Ray and Robby toured with The Cult singer. It was funny because I, along with many others, was just on the waterfront walkway and it was like you were in the crowd, but didn't have to buy a ticket to the show. A lot of folks who bought tickets were looking back on all of us enjoying the free waterfront show clearly annoyed, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. It didn't matter that it wasn't Jim Morrison, along with John Densmore, maybe even L.A. Woman era Jerry Scheff on bass, up there, although that would have obviously been top choice in an alternate universe, it just mattered that Ray and Robby were up there with a full band playing live.
Robbie your'e guitar work truly got me into the door, and Jims voice of course. Great to see you in these videos. You're one of my heroes brother. Glasgow - Scotland !
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 ...
