Robby Krieger
Electric Guitar Solo on
Twentieth Century Fox

About

Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on "Twentieth Century Fox" from The Doors' 1967 self-titled debut album. Krieger solos at a medium 117 BPM in A with a rock feel over the song's strutting, mid-tempo groove. The song is a sardonic character sketch set to a sharply rhythmic arrangement, and Krieger's solo provides an instrumental commentary that matches the track's witty, tongue-in-cheek character. The moderate tempo allows for clearly articulated phrases, with Krieger's guitar work capturing the playful energy and rhythmic swagger that pervade this compact composition.

Robby Krieger was 19 to 20 years old at the time.
