Well, it's an electroacoustic guitar too that is probably hooked up to some mixer which is being operated by someone. There is probably no autotune, but the mixing and mastering is done really well. You would have a hard time matching this sound home.
@@taccamine8312 Aficionados know Sting is no idiot, and while he plays the guitar, he's a guitar bass guy, the everlasting "thumper of the heart", the perfect metronom. The adjuster in concerts.. when he plays jazz with more "advanced" "jazzy" people he gets right to it and it's beautiful..
(Lee Davenport) How rude of you, you know nothing about Sting. Jaguars happen to be pretty cool I think anyway but It's Sir Sting's music that will continue to live for the ages, long after your name will be forgotten, what is your name again, oh never mind. What in the world have you ever given to humanity Lee?
Sting (from a 1993 promotional interview): "I wanted to write about a card player, a gambler who gambles not to win but to try and figure out something; to figure out some kind of mystical logic in luck, or chance; some kind of scientific, almost religious law. So this guy's a philosopher, he's not playing for respect and he's not playing for money, he's just trying to figure out the law - there has to be some logic to it. He's a poker player so it's not easy for him to express his emotions, in fact he doesn't express anything, he has a mask, and it's just one mask and it never changes."
sometimes a song does not need to be about love or broken heart to remind you of someone you lost or you miss...music is a time machine.. it takes to you happy places that now are sad memories... ohh the power of music
This is my all time favorite video and song by Sting. Love seeing him sitting back, with a friend, in his own environment, relaxed and being honest in his facial expressions and the emotion in his voice and seeing the exchange between these two amazing artists come alive for his fans to see. Thank you Sting! A really beautiful voice and beautiful man, and I've noticed that everyone surrounding him the in his band and talent collaborating in these master pieces are equally beautiful and masterful. What a great world he comes from. Thanks again for sharing it with us! Thank you Sting.
"I'm not a man of too many faces ,the mask i wear is one" So touching to hear a man ,Sting especially,says those words. So much honesty throught his voice, his words come from The Shape Of His Heart. Beautifully said. ❤ Nervously awesome( gesture ,shirt games, etc...lol). He was natural. I love him.
Pavlína Hubálková if that's what you want buy Dominic's album First Touch Second Nature. As much as I love and respect Dominic's guitar playing ever since he did sessions with Phil Collins & Level 42 however let's not forget who wrote the beautiful piece of music....STING.
3:09 one of the rare times I've seen him smile. And that look they share! It makes me happy to know relationships like theirs can last and survive fame, pressure from the industry.
What?! He’s a humble guy but there are plenty of clips with him smiling and laughing. Check out ten summoners tales live set at the mansion. Tracks ‘she’s too good for me’ and ‘heavy cloud no rain’ you will see how goofy they all are including Dominic. 🥂
I doubt he cares. Has a wonderful career writing and playing with a legend and can still walk around w/o being recognized. Seen quite a few interviews and very soft spoken man and judging by his demeanor, he’s incredibly happy. True musicians care more about the expression than the recognition.
@Wubo Well, I wouldn't even go that far! I am a fan of both Sting and Juice and I have never heard about this! There are always dislikes on any RU-vid video with more than a 100k views! And there are only like 2.1% on this video, which is very good!
I've been playing acoustic guitar and singing for some 50 years. We guitarists all have our own favourites and heroes. I have always loved songs and composers that say something.... and Sting in my view is one of the best songwriters of the last 30 years or so, and has certainly been one of my influences.... Back in 2005 I was having a really bad time personally. A good friend pointed me to this song and it was instrumental in helping my wife understand me while we were trying to get together from opposite sides of the country... If when we're travelling and I get a chance to sing... this song is my first pick.... Every singer has a song which is intrinsically them ….. this one is mine..... For simplicity it is difficult to better this simple arrangement - a front room, classical guitar, Sting and Dominic Miller.... magic... !!!!
@@francisnorthwood7862how can you tell? I’m currently trying to find out what kind of guitar(s) Miller is playing, they also look kinda small to me, but how to find out the size? 1/4 is pretty small (for an adult man), can’t it be also a 1/2 or 3/4?
He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He don't play for respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of a probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape The shape of my heart If I told her that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one But those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who fear are lost I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape The shape of my heart
How could he sound exactly like he does on his record, singing on a sofa, all casual and chilled? Amazing! It breaks my heart a little knowing that one day we will lose this gem of a man, just like we have lost so many pure talents.

Not quite true. The melody sung by Sting was not 100% written by Dominic Miller. Mainly the the guitar riff was written by Dominic being influenced by Bach and Sting with the help of Dominic added a melody on top.
My absolute greatest solo artist..... the words like a picture are simply a masterpiece..... flowing with meaning, class and subtle impact which runs deep and lingers long....
Escuchar esa canción, me hace lamentar que exista el "reagueton".... STING, DOMINIC MILLER, LA GUITARRA... Y ESA OBRA DE ARTE DE CANCIÓN.... SON LO MÁXIMO PARA ESCUCHAR EN CUALQUIER ÉPOCA...
Simply stunning! This is mastery in person….two virtuoso’s letting it out…love this song, it reminds me of a kinder, gentler time where love was new and the world was much less hate filled….i pray for our collective souls daily….♥️🇺🇸
A song that'll never be forgotten, and one that help make the film Leon unforgettable, and truly hit my heart. Truly a masterpiece of a film that was perfect with such a strong emotional, action-packed storyline and what a soundtrack. Honestly, one of the very few films, that you can truly say has no flaws, and one that everyone can agree is perfect. Jean, Portman, and Oldman, three legends. The lyrics to this is such a masterpiece as well and hits the heart of everyone, a perfect fit. What a time. Legends.
This composition will always be my most favorite composition ever! I hope I get the chance to perform this masterpiece with the Master himself one day. Loves and Respects to you Sting!
+MadLane He's saying that most judges on the Voice are useless themselves...products of boybands or girlgroups who became famous through auditions themselves. They're not musical geniuses or creatives talents like Sting or McCartney or Elton John etc. They're just good looking EX popstars who need a job.

Are you shure that correct words are "And those he plays never suspect"? I hear "And loser players never suspect". Am I wrong? I am not an Englishmen. I am from Russia, but I can not hear words "those he plays" in the song.
Thanks for the lyrics: if I might offer just one small correction, it's "if I told YOU that I loved you". He just sings the first "you" quickly and lightly, so it sounds more like "ya" or "yuh". or "yer".
Я был на концерте СТИНГА у нас в Ёбурге .........и всё.....лучшего у нас в провинции я не видел ... и я в живую слышал эту песню .... Теперь я могу жить здесь причастным к МИРУ Спасибо тебе мальчик Gordon из семьи Лето Однажды я видел тебя ... и остался чуть моложе и светлее
I play this... I play all of sting every day... I sing this... I sing all of sting every day... BUT I can't get enough of it.. I can't stop repeating it every day, but still cant play and sing like this..
Dominic Miller is a classical genius himself to fit the music to the lyrics. OMG, the depths of his soul. Together the two could traverse the world just on this melody. But when Dominic adds his vocal backup, it steps the whole song to a new level. Thank you Dominic for laying out the canvass for this masterpiece! PROST!
Божественно.Я влюбилась в эту песню много лет назад и по сей день любовь не проходит.Всегда слушаю когда грустно...вот и сейчас идет война с хамас.....жалко заложников...осталось слушать только СТИНГА.
