Arms that chain, eyes that lie.

THE ORGAN SOLO
TO
"BREAK ON THROUGH"
words and music by The Doors


The guitarist in my old band worked this out with me one jam session
when we were trying to cover it. It is one of the easier solos of Ray
Manzarek to transfer to guitar because it is played on the regular
organ. Just add a bit of reverberation and chorus. It also sounds ok
on acoustic guitars.
