roadhouse blues-the doors

[beaumcrunner]

i have the tab but it seems there is some flaws in it. specifically the ending-how does it end?

[brianrost]

It's in E right? F#-F-E (from memory)

[beaumcrunner]

i think its 7 eighth notes followed by 2 quarters to end the song. this is after the very fast sixteenth notes on the 7th fret on e

[beaumcrunner]

the roll baby roll bit sounds wrong.

[MikeM]

Pretend a band decides to do this song and the geetar player and the bass player learn it from tab.......

This is the verse bass part from this site.

Verse Riff 1:
|-3-|
|---------------------------|
|*-------------------6-7-8-*|
|*-7---7-7---7-7---7-------*|
|---------------------------|
1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a


This is the Verse part from www.guitaretab.com

I DO NOT want to be in the room when those two start playing this song

[oldrocker]

I Think the Bass part is Mostly:

Main Riff:

|---------------------------|
|*-------------------7-8-9-*|
|*-7---7-7---7-7---7-------*|
|---------------------------|
1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a

There are a few variations later on in the song, between the 2 "Let it Roll" Parts

And I think it's this twice on "Save our City"

|-----7-7-5-5------|
|-------------7-7--|
|-7-7--------------|
|------------------|


For the "Let It Roll" It's like

|----------------------|
|*-------------4-----*|
|*----4-4-7-7---7----*|
|--5-5-----------------|
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &

Playes as straight 8th notes. I think twice the 1st time and 3 times the 2nd time

Oops you're absolutely right. I play it the same way, just wrote it wrong.

I thought you must've made a mistake cause you seem to know what you're talking about. But I decided to post it anyways.

The few ending notes I have trouble finding too, guess I'll just try again when the mood for that song comes around again.

I play the main riff on the open E string like so:

----------------------
----------------7-8-9
-----------------------
-0-0-0-0-0-0-------

Let the E ring, don't mute. Sometimes 9-8-7 on the G string rather than 7-8-9.

The "Let it Roll" part is just a stock pulldown to A. I pull down to the A on the E string. Four bars of stock A blues. Then on the E string: 4 triplets of B then slow C C C B and everybody stops. "All night long" and back to the main riff.

For the ending do the above stop. Guitar plays a little outro, then the bass plays E D on the A string. So you end on the D which leaves the listener hanging and makes the song more memorable.
