You are my favorite teacher ever! You are thorough and you don't rush through things and neither do you drag. You keep it very fun!

[@AngelaPetrilliMusic]

Thank you! 😃

[@tompase6036]

You're a great teacher. Love it! Tom from Australia

[@tcmusic_thomas_upton]

Angela is my favorite instructor. She breaks it down so it can be understood. I also get a big kick out of it when she accidentally hits something incorrect, and can laugh at herself. As a lifetime stage performer, I know how it is.... when you hit a wrong note on stage, ya just gotta keep on going.... it is nice to know that this EXCELLENT player is also human.

[@reddragon3733]

I love the Doors. That's my wheelhouse for the type of music that I Love. I usually put the Door's on Sunday Mornings while cooking breakfast. I can listen to them all day long. Amazing creation of music by The 🚪 Doors. Morrison was a Master Lyricist. Rider's on the Storm was a masterpiece musically and lyrically. Listening 🎧 to the storm roll in gives me chills. I Love the 60s & early 70s Rock because the songs tell a story and the music engulfs you like this song does. Or 'White Room' by 🍨🍦Cream!!! Takes you on a Journey! Angela, your Enthusiasm, Patients & Attitude while teaching are Amazing. It's an example for all teachers. On stage your always 🥲 Smiling. You can see how much you Love Life & what you are doing! You are an Impressive Person!😎 Thank You so Much 💕

[@agentsmith110111]

wish i could be her student and take the lessons. I've never seen a guitar teacher that cares so much about the presentation and the enthusiasm needed to learn to play music the right way. Angela, mi paisano, you are the best. .Ciao bella!

[@akfisher7138]

Your 0ne hour lessons are just such a simple concept but really are proper lessons! Thank you.

[@user-sh8tp5fq5l]

I love this song. Thank you, Angela, for this magic. I love you. ❤️

[@markzelepugas6046]

I was noodling around today & picked up a riders on the storm vibe so I went on KZbin to check out a lesson & there you were! I really like your style of teaching, your enthusiasm for the songs you teach & the gear you use makes your teaching style a lot of fun In this lesson you ask what would be my favorite guitar to own & I have to say a 1958 TV Yellow Les Paul Jr

[@sharpsound2011]

Angela, I'm in love! lol, you found your niche for sure. I've been playing guitar for almost 50 years, a sound engineer for 27 years. So, you give me these great old songs, this one in particular, to learn note for note, i improvise a lot, doesn't take long and it's a little slower paced, but you add so many things and licks to remind me of things I've done and forgotten. for the last three days I've been sitting here with my telecasters jamming along. I have Fenders and Martins, love your 000! best wishes, Greg

[@jaytribett4677]

Jay Tribett, Hi Angela my first electric guitar was a Fender Mustang when I was 15yrs old it was red w/white pearl pickguard. That was 1965, also have a 25th anniversary Fender Stratocaster, I'm the original owner.

[@user-ng5op7uy6s]

Angela I'm tuning in from Brisbane Australia, love the song and love your lesson. I have been singing this song for a while now but you have helped me expand the song out and give it improvement, thank you so much.

[@downmaggie7066]

Thanks for the lesson Angela. Haven't played this in awhile, brushing up on it with your lesson, very helpful. All the best. Love "The Voices"

[@haroldstiltner8968]

Very good lesson! I feel I learn this far better than just get the tab and listening to the midi. you are a very good instructor!!!!

[@TommySG1]

This is a great lesson, Thanks so much Angela!

[@paulmarinucci7409]

You're awesome Angela!! I play this on piano and you're phenomenal here!!

[@jroche26]

You're the best teacher ever! I love your smile!

[@jaybuzz4071]

Live live love your Guitar!!!

[@jessej.guevara7086]

I can't believe I just discovered you Angela, you are so fun, I am looking forward to visiting all of your videos. Thanks, Jesse

[@kristyrice8777]

This is awesome Angela!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

I saw Robby Krieger trade licks with Zakk Wylde at a Experience Hendrix concert (Krieger was a surprise guest) and let me tell you, nothing the Doors put out comes even close to showing you what that guy can do on a guitar. He's a freaking ripper!

[@gustavoviveros8394]

Thank You Angela 👍🏻

[@gilcostilla3302]

Hello from Texas, my dream guitar is an american fender telecaster. Great lesson.

[@1Keef]

Angela, this is my all time favorite Door's song and your lesson is hands down the most authentic and easiest to follow tutorial on KZbin. Thank you so much for posting! A request for Southern Man by Neil Young. My dream electric guitar is the Gretsch Country Gentlemen that George Harrison used to play with the Beatles. Cheers! 👍👍

[@chandlerfelty1284]

Great lesson! this was the only one I could find that touched on the second solo. I think Robby used the Dorian scale in addition to the minor pentatonic for that one. Great jam track for sure!

[@sickj71stonez63]

hey i really enjoy your vids i like your teaching style thanks so much!

[@jthheo]

I must have watched 7 or 8 You Tube instruction lessons on this song. Yours was by far the most informative and enjoyable. Thanks so much. Awesome!

[@jthheo]

Think I found a new favorite teacher

[@artbugali]

Que excelente maestra tan bella saludos desde Mexico ,Ya me aprendi esta clase

[@dionedwards6117]

This is the most amazing comprehensive brilliant tutorial I've ever seen on youtube. Easy to follow and so clear. For your talent on guitar and teaching abilities thank you so much for taking the time to give us all this. Greatly appreciated. Cheers from Australia

[@AngelaPetrilliMusic]

Thank you Dion!!! I am thrilled this lesson has helped you!

[@dionedwards6117]

@@AngelaPetrilliMusic Hi Angela, thanks for your reply I'm quite humbled by that. I've subscribed only wish I had done so earlier. All your tutorials and playing really really cool. Would love to see you crank out some Creedence tutorials so I've put that on the imaginary wish list. You're talented and gifted beyond words. Cheers, Dion

[@mattskey58]

great stuff, easy to follow, im a fan. :)

[@blaineburnie6890]

Listening from Costa Rica . Dream guitar an old Strat.

[@keithwigley1256]

[@nalivesey]

Your lessons are so clear. Really enjoying them from South Africa. Here's another request for your version of Tennessee whiskey. I don't know how many times I've watched it. So good.

[@Uechim]

[@davidlengert5449]

[@MrSpacejoe]

A very good lesson for me, less is more! Greetings from Germany

[@donhenderson2138]

This is awesome. Dream guitar for me is Les Paul.

[@sergedenovo2389]

BRAVO, Angela! Throwing roses! You just jumped way up on my coolness scale, because you actually have appreciation for this song. You either identify with the DOORS or you don't. It's kinda like black licorice; you either love it or you hate it. I love the DOORS. Thanks. Now if I could do Ray's part on the keys! Be well, from Chicago. :)

[@ginopini6484]

Yep, I know all the licks on my piano but struggling with a solid Bass line

[@patrickpalmer3374]

My dream guitars are a Strat and a Less Paul and a Martin acoustic. Minnesota North.

[@clydeflannagan1209]

Awesome, thanks, I'm in Virginia,I have custom telecaster, I got from Sweetwater

[@mickymiller6130]

I bought a Squire 70's classic vibe strat (Olympic white with tortoise shell pick guard) and it is a dream guitar for beginners that are impoverished. Smooth out any rough fret ends and your good to go.

[@gosman949]

Using my Spark to imitate the sound! And my 64 Strat!

[@jackkunkel4773]

love you Angela

[@LebanonChris]

I am about to break through on this one 🤜

[@robhowe8353]

dude, I love my fender blues deluxe reissue. I need a decent budget tremolo pedal though. I'm playing this on my mac through logic instead of my blues deluxe for now, for the tremolo software pedal.

[@guitarist_smith6283]

If you want to add the haunting Bass Ray Manzarek played at the start is E B G B E A C# A.... positions are.... E0-A2-E3-A2-E0-E5-A4-E5 Play it on a Looper and switch in and out as required.

[@kenbatog9341]

this is my favorite doors songs besides perhaps moonlight drive or light my fire.

[@albert2395]

I've got one dream electric! American Fender Tele', like Keith Richards. With dark neck and humbucker!😊 would like Gibson Les Paul standard as well! Oh! And a Gretsch and a Brian May, Red Special!😅 London, UK.

Great lesson Angela! What model / year Strat are you playing here.

[@AngelaPetrilliMusic]

Fender American Deluxe from 98 or 99 with Fishman Single Width Strat Style pickups

[@user-ti1iz5fu5o]

keyboard opening is just A mixolydian descending in 3rds. i mean theres more to it but if you can play that scale in descending 3rds you can pull it off.

Listened to it for the umpteenth time yesterday and also left a comment there asking Angela to do a lesson on it. Fantastic. Here's hoping.

[@jerrynickel7434]

It’s a shame that Jim died so soon after recording this song.........never played it live.....

[@Iliveswithmom]

You,re my guitar Yoda. My dream guitar would be one of Eric Clapton's Daphne Blue Strats. He played a few of them around 2009-2011.

[@WolfRanger2008]

There is no way to do the bend on an acoustic guitar.

[@clydeflannagan1209]

can playing in front of a mirror help

[@rogerledoux4741]

I like it but without a band no one will know what you are playing. It's great to know but not something you can really do by yourself.

[@gosman949]

What? Of course you can hear it. Maybe you need to be a boomer to hear?
