Roadhouse Blues (live version) - The Doors
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ross
Guitarist: Robbie Krieger
Tuning: Standard
Key: E-Minor (Blues Scale)
Tone: ES-Type Guitar, Neck Pickup, High Bass, High Treble, Mid Midrange,
Slight fuzz, dirty distortion, light reverb. I use a little fender tube amp (40W) and
natural overdrive on that comes pretty close to what he sounds like. If your using a
type guitar, the neck/middle pickup with the tone knob rolled back a bit sounds good.
I don’t know which album this is from (I downloaded it), but at the beginning an
says “from Los Angeles…The Doors,” because there are a few versions floating around out there.
remember to rate it!
