Robby Krieger
Electric Guitar Solo on
We Could Be so Good Together

About

Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on "We Could Be so Good Together" from The Doors' 1968 album Waiting for the Sun. Krieger solos at an uptempo 149 BPM in B with a rock feel on this propulsive, riff-driven track. The solo injects a burst of instrumental energy into the song's compact structure, with Krieger's lead playing complementing the driving rhythm guitar work that anchors the arrangement. Written circa 1966 during the band's prolific early period, the song's energetic character provides an ideal backdrop for a concise, high-energy guitar feature.

Robby Krieger was 21 to 22 years old at the time.
