With a flair for wicked bottleneck slide, exploratory solos and gutbucket grooves, guitarist Robby Krieger brought a stinging, sinuous intensity to the sound of The Doors. But he was also a key songwriter in the band and penned some of their biggest hits - notably their lone #1 single, the mesmerizing “Light My Fire.” Krieger’s mellow, workman-like demeanor was a marked contrast to the burning intensity of frontman Jim Morrison, but his stellar fretwork meshed perfectly with Morrison’s lyrical journeys, keyboardist Ray Manzarek’s fever-dream improvisations and drummer John Densmore’s supple yet powerful rhythms.

Before picking up the guitar at age 17, Krieger studied trumpet and piano. The inspiration for switching to guitar came not from rock ‘n’ roll, but Spanish flamenco music. His first guitar hero, however, was jazz legend Wes Montgomery, whose fluid, lightning-fast finger-picking the young musician emulated. After Morrison’s death in 1971, Krieger, Manzarek and Densmore carried on as a trio. They released two more albums as the Doors before calling it quits in 1973, though they did reconvene a few years later to create music for poetry Morrison had recorded shortly before his death.
