Robby Krieger
Electric Guitar Solo on
My Eyes Have Seen You

About

Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on "My Eyes Have Seen You" from The Doors' 1967 album Strange Days. Krieger solos at a medium 135 BPM in E with a rock feel on this energetic rocker, one of Morrison's earliest compositions dating to 1965. The driving rhythm and Morrison's intense vocal delivery create a charged context for Krieger's guitar work. The track's raw energy connects to The Doors' roots as a live performance band, and Krieger channels that visceral quality into a focused, hard-edged guitar solo that matches the song's urgency.

Robby Krieger was 20 to 21 years old at the time.
