After trying trying and failing so many times I can't remember, I finally got the intro and basic chords to go along with the constant E-minor/A major baseline in the epic Doors song Riders on the Storm. I can do the tinkling raindrop bit in the right hand that meanders down the keyboard in the Dorian scale at speed, but not yet at the same time as the baseline. But I'm going to play the hell out of the part I do know today, lol.
Ray Manzarek on how he came up with the basics of the song:
