The rockstars behind the rockstars. These Dominic miller interviews (and pretty much all your interviews) have been fantastic. I like this avenue you’re going down.
Well you probably won’t get bad sound on a Beato channel, and, yes, Miller is Miller, but…still. That little white guitar sounds quite remarkable! Would love to know the make, too…
the great example of this style of medieval sound is the song You Will Be My Ain True Love. Sung by the wonderful Allison Kraus, it's Sting's ear for melody and harmony that makes that song sound so haunting.
Jeffrey Lee Campbell, the guitarist who toured with Sting during the marathon Nothing Like the Sun tour, wrote a detailed, brutally honest and very entertaining book about his experience. He wrote about the time Sting absolutely ripped into the band because they weren’t present, moaning about the grueling schedule and basically mailing it in. Sting wasn’t having it.
"Happy Accidents," are what my family calls those moments when the unexpected is discovered while the original planning goes awry.😊 Edit: He dropped me into serious flashbacks with the, "35 years." I immediately was in the back seat of a tiny little compact car. My friend's older brother is driving. We're going over a two lane curvy mountain pass on our way home from the high school. It's gruesomely hot out. No air conditioning. The windows are all rolled down. The car is overloaded. And he's shifting up and down through the gears as he's racing and braking through these crazy dips and turns, as fast as he can go. It became even more surreal with, "Murder by Numbers," blasting at high decibels with everyone screaming and screeching along with the lyrics. 😂 It was the one and only time that I hitched a ride home with him. I have no idea how I survived that trip.😳🤭😂🤣🙃 123ABC
I love sting and Dominic however, the police song riffs and drum arrangement are not stings. He wrote the song but the riffs and drum beats are Andy's and Stewart's. Roxanne was written as a bosa nova by sting. It's Stewart and Andy that turned it into the song it became. These guys just don't get the credit they deserve for the Police songs
Tryna give this a thumbs-up, but it ain't workin. Another great interview, Rick... gimme more! Try to get Dirk & Lerxst! Thank you in advance... and for right now.
Mr Miller did a very funny interview once for a UK guitar magazine where he recommended learning Bossa Nova but hiding the book you're learning Girl From Ipanema under the mattress like it was a porn mag!
I remember when Mercury Falling came out in pre-internet times. I was 15, learning guitar for a year and decided to learn Hounds of Winter by ear knowing only basic major and minor chords🤦 And I was like "WTF, why does not a single chord fit this song?"🤣🤣🤣
Googling it says that E-flat above middle C is 311 hertz. 330 hertz is E. I think you are confusing A (440 hertz usually but sometimes slightly different) with E.
This guy is so talented. It's such a shame he can't afford an adult-sized guitar. Just imagine what he could do. We should pool together some money for him and get him a proper guitar.
I'm desperate.. I've been playing 60s - 70s - 80s rock for more than 50 years and I love the Police but.. I really don't like "Roxanne".. What's wrong with me? 🤣
I wonder whether Andy Summers gets royalties every time Stings band performs Andy’s guitar riff from Every Breath You Take? One thing that’s sure is that Sting performing police songs in a lower key often sounds really awful.
It's strange when artists change the key it almost never sounds right to my ears to play or listen to..as a police fan since 78 message didn't sound right when he played it?????
Defo agree with this. The original recorded version of “So lonely” defo relied on a frenetic punk energy and crazy high throat ripping vocal from sting. Now when Sting plays it live it’s in a lower key it barely works at all
Educate me. Why does One say the songs are comparable in some way and Another says not comparable. I like them both. But I don’t know much about music.
