makes me appreciate Ray Manzerik a lot more

[GibsonG101]

Hi Rob,

Your playing puts me in the same "trance" that the Doors did from back in the '60s. Nicely done..... My hat is off to you.

Technical question ....I suspect you are using Gibson G-101 samples...if this is so, is your left hand playing the same G101 sounds that would be generated on a real G101 (i.e. the bass and extended bass keys of a G-101)?

Thanks again

[RobOnTheKeys]

@GibsonG101 thanks alot! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) To answer your question, I actually used Vox Continental samples in this video with a Rhodes sound in the bass,, the only video that I used Gibson G101 samples on was the Love Me Two Times video.

[eduardopfalmeida]

GREAT video, you play really well! Did you ever think about writing the music down on sheet and putting it out there?

[RobOnTheKeys]

@eduardopfalmeida thanks alot! I'm not good with sheet music though unfortunately, I don't use them

[paulvega4444]

You're crazy dude, that's the best of the best!!!

[andrewjmaitino]

One of the most jazzy, improvisational, and catchy keyboard riffs i have ever heard. Not to mention the incredible improvisation with densmore's drums.

[ilsevdb]

srsly? transcribed by ear? a 10 min song transcribed by ear? o.o i wonder how long that took, naic vid btw :-)

[GIOVASRK]

where you learned to play well? D: D:

[RobOnTheKeys]

@GIOVASRK alone in my room :)

[Hconley95]

Very well played, man. Ray couldn't have played it better himself!

[RobOnTheKeys]

@Hconley95 haha I don't know about that! but thanks

[Hgclaw]

I think you did a fantastic job picking out so many of Manzarek's subtle articulations, particularly during the choruses and in-between verses. I'd personally play behind Robby's solo a little differently (a la Copenhagen) and, IMO, Manzarek plays most of the song on the studio version an octave lower than you're playing here in your right hand, but I think this is an outstanding cover by any standard. Way to go! (Now you should learn Hancock's Watermelon Man for the full genealogical arc.)

[deafcobain]

cancel my suscription to the resurrection

[magnum2001]

OMG Great performance

[RobOnTheKeys]

@magnum2001 ty!

[DruDixon777]

Thats so badass ..Ive been tryin to play this song on my keyboard but you woop my ass

[RobOnTheKeys]

@DruDixon777 nice, keep it up!

[DanFindling]

the only one disliker is ray manzarek :P

[THESpoonyLegs]

transcribed by ear thats amazing

[bughead3]

Damn...I haven't listend to the Doors in ages. What a blissful, insane carnival they were. You do it justice my friend.

[manzarek88]

Mister... my respect!! I got thrilled watching you.

[PUESTASINCONOCERTE]

Are you Manzarek's son?! :O

[MrSamram3]

Rob- You play wonderfully my friend. I wish I was 25 years younger and could form a band with you mate!

[Jon358902]

Painstakingly reproduced, again; love it!

If you're taking requests I'd love to see your reproduction of The Doors - Soul Kitchen and/or The Animals - The House of the Rising Sun.

[maxir1497]

please tell me how you learned to play bass and organ at the same time?

[northernrob99]

Nice cover of a great Track good job:)

[BuyBenco]

What key is this in? Every version i see is different

[IbanezNick75]

@BuyBenco It changes between E minor and E Dorian. The chord progression for the organ and guitar is E dorian. However, many of the guitar fills are in E minor. The guitar solo has many keys and I cannot figure it out.

[BuyBenco]

@IbanezNick75 Thanks

[boogie1master]

One of the best things I've ever heard.

[SaltyLasagna]

gonna speak my mind here.

best song ever written by man.

this song (in the right.....state of mind) can send you to amazing places.

been there a few times; but not too many that it isn't special any more.

[sptol]

absolutely amazing mate yamaha motif xs are unbelievable for emulating vintage keyboard sound piss all over nords and korg workstations that sound is exactly as Ray Manzarek played on his Gibson keys over 40 years ago the CP70 and Wurlis are amazing ive never played a workstation so accurate and i happen to own a CP70B im a believer that digital emulations cannot beat original vintage instruments but the Motif takes some beating

[TrainBoy565]

This is the best keyboard cover i have heard on youtube. Good job and keep up the good work!

[katochi22]

perfecttttt!!!

[RobOnTheKeys]

@katochi22 thank you!

[MrAjh420]

awesome! muy bueno ! mindblowing!

keep it up!

[Peacefrog35]

Loved it!!! Great job Also, one of the best Vox Contiental samples I've heard. They usually sound terrible. This video was superb on all levels!

[RobOnTheKeys]

@Peacefrog35 It's true, most Vox emulations are trash, luckily, I found some sampled from the real organ so they're the next best thing!

[protectionman]

@RobOnTheKeys Where did you find the samples?

[Sherpaful]

wow, thought i was listening to ray playing

[RobOnTheKeys]

@Sherpaful thanks, that's what I was shooting for!

[riddler026]

Damn good job.. excellent performing & perfect ear !

Long time ago, this song changed my life.. both as a musician and as a human being. Well, The Dooors did that in generally but this song in particular :)))

All the best & let there be more light ('couse where's no music - there's no light, correct?)

:)

[hhfan21]

@riddler026 We must always have art. Not only for expression. I don't see people mention this, but art is magic, not just expression. It is strange. The brain interprets it differently in anyone's head. The body can feel it... when you look at art, you might shiver. You might get a chill, your hairs will stand, you might get hyper, you might get euphoria. It's fantastical. There is just something about art that makes it like this. It cannot be left out of the human way of life. We demand more.

[niniodeplastilina]

when the music's over, Turn out the lights

for the music is your special friend

very good xD

[NetteLiteN]

wanna start a band and make some moneh?

[RobOnTheKeys]

[RobOnTheKeys]

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

@How hard is it to pkay the bass and lead chords at the same time.Speaking as a novice but it looks quite difficult.

[LukeSkywalker92]

Jesus your amazing ! so is the guy on the piano.

[greatcomedian18]

holy s!

[yourlostlittlegirl]

This song is so hard to learn how to play and there is NO ONE on Youtube to teach us! Please will someone make a TUTORIAL on how to?! I am sooo tired of pressing pause then play!

BTW nice job on this song :) Just wish someone would actually teach instead of play it so everyone has to pause then play haha

[hobobot]

This is perfect. I've been trying to figure out the solo at the beginning for months. thank you

[RobOnTheKeys]

@hobobot sweet, your welcome

[andyourbirdcansing64]

idk how u learned that whole thing by ear.. some is really diffictult to hear with krieger's guitar fuzz and all. i dont play paino really but i mess around with it and id love to learn this im a guitar player but u have to do soul kitchen and if u could to crystal ships really good, that would be incredible. u have to do crystal ships

[andyourbirdcansing64]

jesus ur amazing u HAVE TO MAKE A LESSON PLEASSEEEEE

[RobOnTheKeys]

@andyourbirdcansing64 thankks very much! I doubt I'll be doing a tutorial anytime soon though to be honest,, I'm working on a few other projects at the moment. This video is as close as you will get. But if you need help with a particular part / chords let me know.

Cheers!

[chanchouch]

I love you!!!!!

[RobOnTheKeys]

@chanchouch :)

[RobOnTheKeys]

@chanchouch love you too!

[SuperEpicDancer]

Dude that's great!

[RobOnTheKeys]

@SuperEpicDancer thank you

[davidallan2009]

how great can a pop song get? Wow! Well done and thanks Ray .

[subwoofer1975]

why you never play on the triton le ? good job ¡¡¡¡¡¡

[RobOnTheKeys]

@subwoofer1975 the Korg doesn't have RAM memory installed so it doesn't support my samples.. Plus the Motif XS is just all-around better :P

[jasman92627]

Nicely Done !!! I've introduced this to my band they love it ! My guitarist is afraid to detune his guitar in the intro :) Whammy bar just doesn't get it. Peace

[RobOnTheKeys]

@jasman92627 Awesome man! That guitar bit sounds tricky, I'm guessing you would have to tune the guitar down while the notes are ringing?

[rebelvito]

good job man, keep doing in it.!!! bad ass!! the doors man cool!1 thanks for the sharing

[RobOnTheKeys]

@rebelvito thanks man

[vannanut]

[LinkBulletBill]

Amazing! You played the guitar, drums and sang all through the keyboard... Interesting! What type of key board is it?
