Notes
Live performance, 1970 NYC Felt Forum (used for 'Gloria (Live) [2007 Remaster]'); Krieger almost exclusively used his SG Special with P-90s and a Fender Twin Reverb for live Doors shows in this era. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this song/solo.

Difficulty
The solo requires intermediate lead technique, expressive use of wah and fuzz, and dynamic fingerstyle playing, but does not involve advanced shred techniques or complex timing.
