Heard it on R4 news this morning, bummer. 74 though and a back catalog like that = Not-Shoddy (IMO).

Watching that 2nd vid has prompted me to work out the bass part for Riders on the storm at lunchtime now. I mean if Jerry Scheff found it hard and I find it easy surely we're in the wrong trades and need to swap?!

it's the simplest line ever...BUT...

it's Peter Piper pecked a peck of pickled pepper...

I find the fingers and brain are not on the same page with such things...I get all twisted and tortured inside until I turn the brain off

I've no idea where the finger gymnastics comes in...I don't see that at all.

RIP Ray

Agreed, I wonder if Jerry attempted to play it some odd tuning or summat?

I'm sure Ray had quite a lot to do with the arrangement of this, my favourite Doors track :
