Back Door Man - The Doors

Tabbed By: born21239

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.
Manzarek's part is at least 99% correct, and Knechtel's part is at 
least 95% accurate. The recording is 4-track and the bass was not 
recorded that well so some of the notes were not discernible, and 
are more the product of educated guesses.
Just to prevent any confusion, note that the A on the bass guitar
at 3:24 does, in fact, come an eighth of a measure after the A5 chord
on the Piano Bass.
