Notes
Live performance, 1975 recording (released as 2007 Remaster). Krieger used his classic SG Special with P-90s into a Fender Twin Reverb for most Doors live shows. No evidence of additional guitars or amps for this song/section. No studio overdubs; this is a live recording.

The riff requires intermediate fingerstyle technique and dynamic control to achieve the touch-sensitive breakup and articulation, but the chord shapes and tempo are accessible to most players.
