Robby Krieger
Electric Guitar Solo on
Good Rockin'

About

Robby Krieger's electric guitar solo is the first of two improvisations on The Doors' rendition of Roy Brown's classic rhythm and blues composition. Taking one chorus of the 12-bar blues form in A at 144 BPM, Krieger enters at approximately 1:44 and delivers a rousing, energetic solo that engages directly with the song's rock-and-roll roots. His playing channels the spirit of the original while adding his own blues-rock vocabulary, contributing to the post-Morrison band's exploration of the foundational music that had always underpinned their sound.

Robby Krieger was 25 to 26 years old at the time.
