Soul Kitchen by Doors Soul Kitchen - The Doors Tabbed By: born21239 e-mail: bass21239@gmail.com There are two basslines on this song. The most prominent (top half of the notation) is played by session musician Larry Knechtel on an electric bass guitar with a pick, and the other (bottom half of the notation) is played by Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek on a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass. For the best effect, play his line with your fingers. You can transpose the strings however you like, as his bassline is not originally written for the bass guitar. This is just the way I prefer to play it and think sounds best. Listen to the recording to pick up on the exact timbre of the notes. This is the whole song from beginning to end. Unlike the rest of the album, the electric bass suffers more than the piano bass on this song. Both basslines are locked in on one track so this tab is not perfect, but it is at least 95% correct for Knechtel's part and 99% for Manzarek's part.
