Robby Krieger
Acoustic Guitar Solo on
Wandering Musician

About

Robby Krieger's acoustic guitar solo is the sole improvisation on this contemplative closing track from Other Voices. Entering at approximately 3:28, Krieger delivers a gentle, melodically beautiful solo in C major at 79 BPM that spans about 34 seconds. The acoustic guitar timbre gives the passage a warm, folk-like quality that provides a quiet ending to an album that had grappled with the challenge of continuing without Jim Morrison. His restrained, lyrical approach here contrasts with the more aggressive electric work heard elsewhere on the album, revealing the softer side of his musical personality.

Robby Krieger was 24 to 25 years old at the time.
