This song definitely has one of the best bass grooves around.
This transcription is only inacurate at the part where Jim sings
"unto this land were born", the part that slides from 10 to 12 on
the A string.  It is very hard to pick up from the album, but I'm
sure that you can improvise that part along the guidline that I
left you...remember, its no fun to play a song exactly the same
way every time.  The rest of my transcription is 99.9% acurate, it's
just a matter of repeating the different bars according to the song.
If you would like to send me questions, comments, corrections, or
requests, please E mail me at XAQK88A@prodigy.com.  Thanx.

About this song

"Riders on the Storm" by The Doors features a haunting atmosphere created by Ray Manzarek's electric piano and Robby Krieger's slide guitar mimicking rain. Krieger's guitar work, influenced by blues and jazz, adds a mysterious quality to the song. The track also showcases Jim Morrison's distinctive vocal delivery and poetic lyrics, enhancing the dark and brooding mood. The song was the last single released by The Doors with Morrison before his death in 1971.
