The Doors - Riders On The Storm (Complete)

[@mugiwaraMorrison]

There's absolutely no reason for anyone to dislike this video!

[@PFranciscooo]

Well, everyone it's entitle to have an opinion. Some seem to dislike the 'whispering', aside the fact I specify in the description I'm performing the second voice... just as I play it with my band. Someone out there didn't like the fact it was not atomically synchronized to the studio version's tempo and so on. I guess you just can't take it personal. These are my interpretations of these songs, and that is as subjetive as appreciation is.

[@mugiwaraMorrison]

@@PFranciscooo Right! Agree with you on this. Great work btw 🙌

[@DGSE]

Ray Manzarek is proud of you.

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks man!

[@vasilakiz]

He is proud of ray Manzarek

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks bro!

[@JoseReyes-ib4nl]

You will if you practice a lot =) Thanks for the support!

[@philmccrakin6770]

An EXCELLENT performance! You made the old gear sound new and fresh and brilliant. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this! and greetings from Toronto Canada!

I'm really pleased you liked it. Thanks a bunch for the support! Good vibes! =)

[@markrankin9304]

Love everything I have heard from you.

[@PFranciscooo]

You’re very kind to say so 😊

[@markrankin9304]

@@PFranciscooo hey brother have you done any of the monkeys songs, like she or valery, I think you would crush it like grape, keep jamming I love it.

[@PFranciscooo]

I’m afraid I haven’t. But I’ll check them out. Thanks again for the support!

[@gabrielcornea9119]

This sounds great and haunting, brings back the good old times :D

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks bro! =)

[@jimharris4553]

Lush. Great playing, love the whispered vocal too. Nice idea. Learning this myself right now. Challenging as haven't played keys for a while. What a song though and Manzarek, genius!

[@PFranciscooo]

Well, the whisper is supposed to be the background vocal n_n' I'm very glad you liked it. Thanks a bunch bro!

[@ubgodinez]

Wow, my respect for you Mr. From Mexico. Kind regards!!!

[@PFranciscooo]

Muchas gracias bro! Saludos desde Perú

[@tdigiano]

Jerry Scheff played bass for The Doors in the recording studio.

[@Raccoonov]

Wow, fantastic play! Wow!

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks!

[@jackjoseph1750]

awesome ,, just the right tribute or cover ,,, and subscribing you just because of the Doors and Fender's Rhodes piano

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks for the sub and the support!

[@HeadfirstHumanity]

Awesome! =) and nice Doors-style letters lol

[@PFranciscooo]

I'm glad you noticed it. It seems in the new mix they set that voice a lil' lower than the original. Thanks for commenting =)

[@PFranciscooo]

It's a 1979 Rhodes Stage Piano Mark I and my bass has no exact model but you can look for any Rhodes Piano Bass. Thanks for commenting!

[@eduardo.dilena]

Perfect man!!!, its amazing !!

[@HuBrIsRaDiO]

Wish I could jam with someone like you.

[@PFranciscooo]

HuBrIsRaDiO Thanks for the comment bro! =)

[@carnyxx2403]

Bro, this version is just EPIC! I'm amazed by this cover. I just subscribed and I'm watching all your vids now x)

[@PFranciscooo]

I'm glad you liked it man! Thanks a bunch for watching and subscribing. Good vibes! =)

[@carnyxx2403]

PFranciscooo Do you have a .midi/sheet for your version of "Yes, The River Knows" ? I can't find one anywhere and I really want to learn this song, and your version of it is perfect too :)

[@PFranciscooo]

Carnyx x Sure, I've just sent you the file. Thanks again for the support! =)

[@thenewyorkpauls]

So hooked on your vids

[@PFranciscooo]

I'm very glad to know it! :)

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks man. It is a mark 1. The thing is, when I bought it, it had no harp cover so I made one. That's why it doesn't look familiar

[@huhhghhhihh3709]

Incredible man well done :)

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks a ton! :)

[@dr_codigo]

YOU ARE GREAT!

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks a ton!

[@barehands007]

Creepily perfect; thanks.

[@PFranciscooo]

Same to you for commenting! =)

[@PFranciscooo]

In fact, I'm whispering a second voice (just like in the studio version) but your point is well taken. Thanks very much for the support, bro.

[@wuurly]

very good job

[@PFranciscooo]

And thank you for the support!

[@musiquepourrever]

Perfect interpretation! Congratulations, bro.

[@PFranciscooo]

Gracias tio ¡Buenas vibras! =)

[@tos7052]

It's so accurate I want to learn this cover but I have a lot to learn by the way great video congrats

[@kareem-vc8ey]

Thanks very much =)

[@jimberkowitz6118]

Very Good Brother

[@PFranciscooo]

Gracias bro!

[@mrjoop6889]

59 people have no taste in music!! This was bloody awesome!!!!! Solo was excellent!!!

[@PFranciscooo]

I'm very glad you liked it!

[@RayyMusik]

There‘s a gazillion of Rhodes pianos on YT - but hey,, you‘ve got the original Manzarek bass thing as well! Excellent sound from both keyboards. :)

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks for the support!

[@EdouardPicard0224]

That's very good :) but i don't get why you do the Whispers/backvocal ?

[@PFranciscooo]

Well, since I'm not the lead singer I thought it was better to show how I perform it live. Singing it is a bit different than whispering it. =)

[@EdouardPicard0224]

Oh ! :D That's pretty cool man, keep it up :D

[@PFranciscooo]

EdouardPicard0224 Glad you liked it. Thanks for the support!

[@scottptolomey3498]

EdouardPicard0224 that’s how The Doors did it on the song

[@electra0812]

amazing version : ) congrats !

[@copstolemywife]

Excellent, I think some people are missing the point of the singing. I think it's a good "guide vocal" to give a reference to where you are in the song. This song is probably my all time favourite. A masterpiece and you do it justice. Good work man.

[@apanikka]

Amazing!

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks!

[@aaaazzzz76]

Grandissimo complimenti perfetta esecuzione.. Ray ❤️

[@PFranciscooo]

Grazie per il tuo supporto!

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks man. Although subjective your advice is well-taken. Good vibes! =)

[@jonathanmora5618]

Francisco, excelente, te sale muy bien, que acordes tocas en el solo de Krieger, es una inversión los acordes y en que octava los tocás?

[@PFranciscooo]

De hecho seria un poco dificil explicarlo. Si gustas mejor te paso el archivo midi que creé. Luego puedes usar un software como el syntehsia para que te muestre las notas exactas. Dejame un mail y te lo envio. Saludos.

[@rhodayackez9570]

Excellent playing. Interesting take on "vocals".

[@PFranciscooo]

Well, I’m doing the second voice actually. I explain it in the description. Thanks for the support!

[@marcoantonioguerrerohernan3843]

Has participado en algun homenaje a the doors?? por que dejarias con la boca abierta a los integrantes aùn con vida

[@PFranciscooo]

Bueno, sólo he hecho tributo con mi banda acá por Perú. Gracias de nuevo por comentar bro. Buenas vibras!

[@pantokrator4ever]

GENIAL COMPAÑERO!! Y TU VOZ ES SUPER PSICODELICA! ME ENCATA!! AYUDAME CON UNOS TIPS! X FA!!

[@PFranciscooo]

Chevere que te haya gustado. Bueno, recuerda que es la segunda voz n_n'. Muchas gracias por el apoyo. Dime en que te puedo ayudar? =)

[@pantokrator4ever]

=3 ... LO HACES TAN BIEN EN SERIO! =D ! COMO LOGRASTE INDEPENDENCIA EN EL BAJO MIENTRAS HACES LA MELODIA... SE ME HACE DIFICL! =/ GRACIAS POR LEER MI COMENTARIO! :D

[@PFranciscooo]

Bueno, es con mucha practica. Prueba improvisando con riders' y light my fire. Empieza desde lo simple: variando el solo de studio y con los de concierto. Luego combina ritmos asi podras lograr cosas mas complejas. Espero te sirva. No tienes que agradecer ,mas bien gracias a ti por tu apoyo. Saludos.

[@rondoge4375]

Why are you whispering? Were your parents asleep?

[@PFranciscooo]

I really don't remember if they were, but I'm doing the second voice. As you can hear in the studio recording, there is a whispering voice below Jim's.

[@Icybearg]

@ Ron Doge....Seriously was that the best comment you could come up with???

[@fmfetish]

That is correct. On the original recording there is a second voice track of Jim Morrison whispering the lyrics over the track of his own voice.

[@PFranciscooo]

@Joe B G Well, everybody is entitled to have an opinion. @steel91101 Yeah and it makes a big difference, live or in the studio.

[@lrgvanman]

Yeah, When Jim did it, the whispering kinda sounded to me like a distant, almost hard yelling, of the lyrics. Great keyboard, PFransiscooo.

[@eduardomartonez8892]

buen cover, excelente¡!

[@rjplant5]

I’m so fucking drunk right now and for some reason I wanted to listen your version of this song Feels so fucking good man Cheers

[@PFranciscooo]

Glad you liked it. Cheers bro!

[@newproject474]

Dear friend, this night im searching the music for my cover for the same song, and somehow way brought me here i cannot express my feelings to how i heard and what i felt in this amaizing different way as how you did !!! İ would like to please you to let me use this music & instrumental for my cover of the same song. i want to continue with cover songs with your music ! İm simply amazed and would like to work with you. Momentalyy im about doing cover songs in my friends studio in İstanbul, it will be great to work with you! Thanks in advance, hopefully waiting your answer dear Friend. Nameek

[@PFranciscooo]

+New project47 Hi Nameek First I want to thank you for your kind support. It is entirely welcome.Sure you can use my recording. Just mention I did the backing track and it’ll be ok. But please bear in mind that since this is share for free, it is to be used in non-profit situations. If this is ok with you let me know what other recordings you’d like to use. Good vibes from Lima!

[@idiosyncraticmushroom3030]

I actually quite like the whipser vocals

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks a ton for the support!

[@Insufficient202]

you must love yourself ! good job!

[@PFranciscooo]

It would be great =) unfortunately we might not even be in the same continent n_n but thanks anyway for the consideration. P.S. You did a fine work there. Good vibes!

[@PFranciscooo]

Muchas gracias bro

[@rodsnratfinks]

You play the Rhodes so smooth. It's very hard to play it that way. I don't if my Rhodes has a messed of action or it's my hands, but I find myself having to plunk down on the keys a lot more. Also, what year is your Rhodes?

[@harrisonplaysgames4859]

That trickle down in the beginning is surprisingly hard, especially when playing the bass.

[@PFranciscooo]

A bit n_n but it's all about practicing! :)

[@jonatan317]

gracias te pasaste ! , x cierto excelente interpretación =D

[@PFranciscooo]

Sí los vi, estan muy bien! Gracias por comentar =)

[@PFranciscooo]

Read the description guys. I'm not singing the main voice. I'm whispering the second one. This is the way we perform it with my band n_n'

[@Jbern1991]

I love the small excerpt from American Prayer at the end: I'll always be a word man, never a bird man.

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks =)

[@reymonki18]

Ya no tocas amigo donde mas te puedo seguir escuchando 😃

[@PFranciscooo]

De hecho acabo de subir un vídeo nuevo. Espero te guste =)

[@PFranciscooo]

@PaoloCastanon- I wouldn't say that n_n but thanks for the support =)

[@austinellison3532]

it would sound amazing man.

[@jfjusa1]

what's the best way to learn the pattern for the section of this piece where the descending "raindrops" come in please?

[@PFranciscooo]

I would say first keep a steady bass line and practice with only one note on your right hand. keep the eighth pattern. then add 2 notes.. 3.. and so on.

[@xybandrock1]

Podrías subir la de not to touch the earth?

[@PFranciscooo]

Trataré de subirla. A pesar de que es sencilla ahora estoy en otros proyectos. Cuando encuentre un tiempo la grabaré. Gracias por pasar. Felices fiestas.

[@danielsorianocalderon4839]

¡La virgen! Tremendo trabajo, compañero… :) ¿No tendrás por casualidad las partituras escritas? No es la primera vez que pienso en sacarme este temazo, pero lo único que encuentro son transcripciones con la melodía vocal añadida y lo interesante es precisamente lo que tú has hecho: el arreglo original compuesto por Ray Manzarek. Me das cierta envidia… Hoy día es muy difícil ver teclistas del nivel que había en los 70… ¡Muchas felicidades!

[@PFranciscooo]

Muchas gracias por el apoyo tio. Mientras sea envidia que genera acciones positivas esta bien =). Lamentablemente no tengo partitura pero sí el archivo midi. Si gustas me dejas un mail y te lo envio. Saludos

[@danielsorianocalderon4839]

PFranciscooo Pues te lo dejo aquí: [e-mail]¡Muchas gracias y a seguir tocando! :)

[@PFranciscooo]

Gabble Ratchet Ahí te lo envié. Gracias de nuevo por el apoyo. Saludos.

[@danielsorianocalderon4839]

PFranciscooo Recibido. Esta genial!

[@PFranciscooo]

[@NicolasLopez-xo5li]

Buenisima La Parte De Courses Invocations !!!

[@PFranciscooo]

Thank you bro =)

[@eduardo.dilena]

1 million likes!!!!

[@PFranciscooo]

When I bought it, it had no cover. So I made one… flat for obvious reasons n_n

[@PFranciscooo]

Well, I think it is the natural Rhodes action. You have to learn how to control them. A little service may also help, that's what I did to mine. Thanks for commenting and it's a 1979 Rhodes btw. Good vibes!

[@adamf.4823]

Wow. That was perfect. Do you have any advice for getting your rhythm so tight?

[@maximejoanabaezalugo6397]

Me enamoré haha. Te quedó súper el cover.

[@PFranciscooo]

haha. Gracias por el apoyo. Saludos!

[@Villacrez98]

Dónde puedo conseguir un Rhodes Piano en Lima? o una Vox Contineal

[@PFranciscooo]

Bueno lo mas rápido seria comprarlo en ebay y traerlo. Acá salen a la venta muy raro porque hay muy pocos Rhodes... y Vox Continental peor, creo que ni en la época llegaron al Perú. Al parecer solo trajeron órganos combo japoneses e italianos (Yamahas y Farfisas)

[@raphaelrivoalmagnetiseuren9646]

the sound is a dream

[@leooliver2828]

Mr Francisco you are so good. You are doing everything doors except being the drummer. Your voice even is like Jim. If you come to Florida to do a show I will be there. I just subscribed to your KZbin channel. Can you tell me where you got the flat smooth harp cover? I want one badly.

[@PFranciscooo]

In fact, when I bought my Rhodes 73 it had no harp cover, so I made one. Thanks a bunch for the support!

[@leojaramillo6618]

Amazing!! But one issue! How long till these goosebumps go away?

[@PFranciscooo]

I'm not sure n_n' Thanks for the support! :)

[@wuurly]

Better than the other version, you're really improvin', the drums as well are really much better. The touch and the feeling which you play the rhodes are barely perfect. Which rhodes is it, mark 3, 4 or 5?

[@johnmoon4937]

This rendition of Riders on the Storm absolutely blows me away. I think it's as good as the original. Ray would be proud. Can you tell me about the instruments. Fender Rhodes obviously, but which one (year, etc). Same for the piano bass. Also, what type of amps are you using? I've got to buy some of this stuff so I can have a go at it myself. Total bliss. You are good! Thank you.

[@PFranciscooo]

One is a 1979 Mark I 73 Stage Piano. It may look strange cos' it had no lid when I bought it. I made one flat for obvious reasons n_n. The other is a piano bass built out of a 1980 Mark II 54. I knew the chances of finding an original bass here in Lima were almost nonexistent and since it wasn't in a great shape, I gave it a new life =P. The amps I use are virtual but I heard the Fender Twin Reverb fits perfect on a Rhodes. Thanks a bunch for the words man! =)

[@davideviolante73]

Hello Francisco, Would you be able to create Rider's on the Storm tutorial. I would love to learn the original version, but I am not able too. I can play a piano version that sounds different from the original! I am still beginner, I was wonder how long it took for you to play at the current level? Can you help me out? I love the music of the doors!

[@PFranciscooo]

Obrigado =)

[@PFranciscooo]

Hey I searched for James Milton but there are many. Which one is you? =/

[@wuurly]

well done, did you apply a kind of leather on it or did you paint it?

[@gabrielcornea9119]

Can you post how you do the song WITH your lead singer please?

[@PFranciscooo]

I always thought of finishing it myself, but I'll ask him n_n

[@gabrielcornea9119]

PFranciscooo If you do the voice, that could be awesome too, we've never heard your voice yet. Can't wait to see your future work, with or without the lead singer. Respect from Denmark!

[@PFranciscooo]

Gabriel Cornea Thanks man I think I'll do that in the future. Right now i'm working in a couple of new videos but you can check out my voice in these: PFrancisco - Yes, The River Knows PFrancisco - You're Lost Little Girl (Acoustic) Thanks a lot for the support! =)

[@gabrielcornea9119]

PFranciscooo They sound great! Love them! Keep it up with the great work!

[@PFranciscooo]

Gabriel Cornea Thanks man! =)

[@pedrod.palacios6388]

Hola amigo que bien te quedó el cover, como le haces para hacer el track de la batería? yo he tratado de conseguirlo pero no lo encuentro, en estos momentos estoy aprendiendo House of the rising Sun pero tengo el mismo problema con el track de la bateria no lo consigo. Ojalá me puedas responder. Ya me suscribo a tu canal. Saludos.

[@PFranciscooo]

Que tal Pedro. La verdad los tracks los hago yo mismo. Nunca he buscado backing tracks de The Doors así que no podría asegurarte que existan. Una forma fácil sería usar el lado derecho del audio original. Ahí tendrás la batería, la guitarra y el bajo. Espero que eso te pueda ayudar. Muchas gracias por comentar y suscribirte. Saludoors!

[@pedrod.palacios6388]

Hola gracias por responder. Ya había Intentado lo que dices pero no me funcionó, sin embargo ya conseguí el track con otra persona que también tiene un cover aquí en KZbin de Riders on The Storm y que incluso tiene la línea de la voz lo cual esta perfecto porque yo no canto ni a golpes. Si algún día lo necesitas con gusto te lo envío. Saludos!!

[@PFranciscooo]

Que bacán que lo hayas conseguido! Por ahora ya no pienso subir mas covers de Riders pero gracias por al consideración. Me avisas si hay alguna otra cosa en la que pueda ayudarte. Buenas vibras!

[@KarlMiller-DjKarl]

Tasteful cover… ☮🔥

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks!

[@PFranciscooo]

I will =)

[@jonatan317]

brother que paja , como haces el efecto con la voz asi ?

[@PFranciscooo]

Hi David. Well I think it will be easier for both of us if I send you a midi file of my version. You can use a freeware called Synthesia to learn it. It shows the notes and lets you adjust the speed as you want. It’s very simple to use. Just leave an e-mail in the inbox and as soon as I make it I will send you the file. Thanks for watching =)

[@tmharun377]

Great Performance!! Keep going :) Can I use this for playing Riders on the Storm on Guitar? I want to play to your cover, it´s pretty awesome! Regards

[@PFranciscooo]

Sure. Any non-profit purpose is acceptable. If you're planning to upload it, just mentioning me in the credits will be ok. Thanks for the support! =)

[@elefantegranderosa]

Muy bueno!! Saludos desde Brasil!

[@blueshorecreative3146]

Excellent. What's the EPiano?

Gracias, man. Pero recuerda es Curses, Invocations n_n'

[@javiceres]

Smooth

[@PFranciscooo]

Thanks!

[@davejohnson-yi2rk]

Great job. Question: How did you acquire your Keyboard Bass ? I've looked for years and have been unable to find one which didn't cost thousands of dollars or which were for sale but were broken and only sold "As is". Many Thanks from NY.

[@PFranciscooo]

In fact, I made my Piano Bass out of a Rhodes 54. The only place I would have buy one is on Ebay, but yeah, they are expensive. Thank you for the support!

[@amankazharov4268]

Hello! What’s this beautiful melody in the end? I think I heard it, but I can’t recognise…

[@PFranciscooo]

Hi there. It’s called Curses Invocations a song from the album An American Prayer. Thanks for stopping by

[@Emeguerrac]

Buen cover!
