Robby Krieger
Electric Guitar Solo on
Easy Ride

About

Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on "Easy Ride" from The Doors' 1969 album The Soft Parade. Krieger delivers a brief solo at a medium 121 BPM in F with a rock feel on this concise Jim Morrison composition. Originally recorded during the Waiting for the Sun sessions in 1968 at T.T.G. Studios, the track was later completed for The Soft Parade. The solo packs considerable energy into a compact space, fitting the song's straightforward, no-frills rock character with direct, unembellished guitar work that keeps the performance moving with purpose.

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