Robby Krieger
Electric Guitar Solo on
Peace Frog

About

Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the sole improvisation on "Peace Frog" from The Doors' 1970 album Morrison Hotel. Krieger solos at a medium 113 BPM in G with a rock feel on one of the album's most distinctive tracks, co-written by Morrison and Krieger. The song is built around Krieger's memorable guitar riff, and the solo extends his guitar's role as the track's primary instrumental voice. Morrison's lyrics weave together imagery of violence and upheaval drawn from his notebooks, and Krieger's solo provides an instrumental response to the vocal intensity.

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