Morrison Hotel is the fifth studio album by American rock band the Doors, released on February 9, 1970, by Elektra Records.After the use of brass and string arrangements recommended by producer Paul A. Rothchild on their previous album, The Soft Parade (1969), the Doors returned to their blues rock style and this album was largely seen as a return to form for the band.
"The Spy" is a slow blues song, led by Robby Krieger's guitar riff, accompanied by Ray Manzarek's piano. It features a slow drum beat played with brushes by John Densmore [3] and a bass guitar played by Ray Neapolitan. [4] Jim Morrison wrote the song in 1969, the year of Morrison Hotel sessions began.
The album also saw Morrison returning as main songwriter, writing or co-writing all of the album's tracks. The 40th anniversary CD reissue of Morrison Hotel contains outtakes and alternative takes, including different versions of "The Spy" and "Roadhouse Blues" (with Lonnie Mack on bass guitar and the Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian on harmonica).
At an early Doors rehearsal, Morrison heard Krieger playing bottleneck guitar and initially wanted the technique featured on every song on the first album. [12] Krieger's fingerstyle approach to the electric guitar, broad musical tastes, and songwriting helped establish the Doors as a successful rock band in the 1960s. [ 13 ]
The Doors lacked a bass guitarist (except during recording sessions), so for live performances, Manzarek played the bass parts on a Fender Rhodes piano keyboard bass. His signature sound was that of the Vox Continental combo organ , an instrument used by many other psychedelic rock bands of the era. [ 23 ]

The implementation of chords using particular tunings is a defining part of the literature on guitar chords, which is omitted in the abstract musical-theory of chords for all instruments. For example, in the guitar (like other stringed instruments but unlike the piano ), open-string notes are not fretted and so require less hand-motion.
