Perhaps the BEST BLUES song by THE DOORS

today is a good day because we're gonna play some blues from the doors the cars is by my window like the waves down on the beach that was from a song called cars his by my window grey mellow blue song written by the doors and it's unique in a sense that it doesn't have any keyboards at all one of the few door songs that does not have a piano or an organ instead we hear two guitars one is playing the rhythm very basic blues riff while robbie krieger is playing and those two guitars together just create a unique and perfect blend that has such a cool and mellow atmosphere doesn't it and if you want to play this song the best place to start is by playing that basic rhythm and and see if you can add some of that jim morrison vocals cars is by my window like the waves down on the beach i love the way jimmy's singing here it's not very subtle at all they didn't do many takes the whole album was recorded within six days la woman that's fast i've got this girl beside me but she's i out of reach again another very jim morrison type of thing that's something he did very often now let's have a look at robbie krieger's lick such a simple but yet brilliant blues lick and it's not just a matter of playing the notes there's also a certain attitude that comes along with it i notice when i play it i make a certain face here i have a certain feeling it's like you should play it like you have an incredible hangover like not too much energy and towards the end he plays a lick which is such a incredible standard but yet beautiful blues lick very simple then he does isn't that beautiful still a bit slower and he finishes with a very john lee hooker type of leg yeah i love this stuff let's do it again and that's basically what robert krieger is doing during the whole song he doesn't play a guitar solo or anything you would expect at some point well that would be like a great no he doesn't do that he just keeps playing and instead we have jim morrison emulating a harmonica something like that you can tell jim morrison was a huge fan of elvis presley because when he sings that's just elvis he's just doing elvis okay guys to end the video i'm gonna play robbie krieger's lead guitar part in a slow tempo so you can perhaps play along taps and backing track as always are available on my patreon side grab your guitar here we go like the waves down on the is by my window like the waves down on the beach i've got this girl beside me but she's
