Robby Krieger
Electric Guitar Solo on
Tell All The People

About

Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on "Tell All the People," the opening track of The Doors' 1969 album The Soft Parade. Krieger solos at a relaxed 88 BPM in G with a rock feel, navigating a track that marked a departure for the band with its brass and string arrangements. The Soft Parade was a controversial album that expanded The Doors' sonic palette significantly, and Krieger's guitar solo provides a familiar rock element amid the more orchestral textures. The song was composed by Krieger himself and released as the album's lead single.

Robby Krieger was 22 to 23 years old at the time.
