I don't know why I watched this video, but when you played the Light My Fire solo, that was sick as fuck

how play like a manzarek - how play like a god!

Brilliany lesson and modest too. I learned from Manzarek and Greenfield from the Stranglers. The massive Manzarek/ Jon Lord impact takes two notes which in turn, they took from Jimmy Smith.

this guy literally is so bomb. i dont even know

[RayManzarekGod]

Hey man, Riders is in E Dorian Mode, which has the same notes as D, but starts on E.

Dorian mode

Very helpful!!

Gosh hands look scarey when you don't use proper fingering. But your definitly beast.

You're an amazing keyboard player but your theory is very flawed. The solo for Riders on the Storm is of course in E minor, just using a C# accidental, as the chords called for it.

This information doesn't really help for playing along to Doors songs, rather it helps for playing along to songs that are in a minor key that contain a natural 6th.

You rip up that keyboard tho man

[oysterlovers]

Thanks , you're absolutely right, i was just trying to show people who have little theory knowledge where the notes basically are more or less

[jaguar65100]

@oysterlovers

Just incredible!!!! I really like your approach and style...you just understand pragmatically how to play!!

[illmaticz334]

@decko87 i might cause a bit of an uproar by saying this, but the way i see it, the main verse/chorus section is in E dorian, which is essentially D major. The the first "half" of the keyboard solo is played in E dorian, then he jumps into an E blues at one part, then back into E dorian towards the end.. i can play the entire solo verbatim to how Ray did it, so I know the notes are right, just my perspective may be wrong...

Thank You So Very Much ! I get to use this info a lot.

[cocovi]

Thanks a lot sir!

[mythicalfish217]

he actually used dorian scales... for riders it's e-dorian. (same notes as D)

church modes you know...
