The Police "Roxanne" guitar lesson. Today we're using the Retro-Sonic Compressor and the Lovepedal Kalamazoo Gold overdrive to emulate this famous 'dry' guitar tone from Andy Summers. Using a staccato approach, "Roxanne" flows through a jazz influenced chord progression involving many minor 7th chords and Summer's seemingly favorite chord form, minor 7 suspended 4th. During live performances, The Police pump up the tempo and kick the chorus up with a heavier guitar sound. The Lovepedal Kalamazoo Gold does a great job of transitioning between guitar parts without changing the core tone. Also, you can hear Andy Summers following the bass line more in the chorus, starting with a pulloff on the Bb and then sliding back and forth between power chords for a punkier feel. Enjoy your riff of the day guitar lesson!

I really like the way you teach songs. No talking at all, just playing and a few titles

@thomasfourth 10 лет назад

Excellent. Mr. Summers' slick rhythm playing deserves more recognition.

Fun song to play. This Message in a bottle Synchronicity II fun had to learn them after seeing the Police live during their reunion tour.

@composerdave68 10 лет назад

Andy, another great lesson. Easy and clear. Just a minor quibble. At 2:33 the onscreen text says the chord is Gm/A#. Strictly speaking, that is incorrect, or at least not adhering to the key. It should be Gm/Bb. While on the guitar A# and Bb are the same pitch, Bb is in the key (mainly Gminor) while A# isn't. Same goes for the D# chord at 3:28. It should be Eb. Eb to F is a major second while the interval D# to F is a diminished third. Yes the same enharmonic pitches but D# is not the correct spelling in this key. Plus it looks odd to the eye.

Thank you Mike. Indeed, theory can be daunting so when a logic can be applied, it help makes it clearer for everyone :)

Nice Presentation

@2109strat 10 лет назад

Have to say, this is the way I like to learn stuff. Show me the full riff, go over the chords, play it slowly, and Bob's your uncle... Thanks guys!

@BramClaes 10 лет назад

I think the hardest part of this song is the rhythm. I often find myself starting the riff to early or too late when playing with a backing track

@bobnsand 10 лет назад

good lesson, I sent the link to my brother, we're gonna try this song. thx

@jsaus21 9 лет назад

At first it was a bossa but they couldn't make that because they where announced as a punkband ;).

ROCK ON

@poofighter3741 9 лет назад

Telecaster the only guitar you'll ever need.

@michaelpaul5801 9 лет назад

+Poo Fighter ...YES ..but you gotta have an SG?

@poofighter3741 9 лет назад

Michael Paul No i don't think so, you'd probably be able to emulate a Gibson with all the foot pedals on the market and vise versa with a gibson sg

@joeyattaway2685 8 лет назад

agree maybe a Les too but tele does it all

@christianl3852 8 лет назад

I love my Telecaster lol

Beautiful guitar. I'd rather have an ASAT, but this one sounds pretty slick too. (Ultimately, the ASAT tribute is cheaper and has one extra fret. For some reason it makes a huge difference to me).

@ShepherdPi 10 лет назад

Andy is using a plectrum.

@GVike 10 лет назад

I always wondered about the recording itself, where the first guitar strums tune up to the chord as if the tape started slower.

@markhenri1131 Год назад

Great job Andy. When doing the C to Bb, you played the A grace note. Do the same thing up at the F… go E F E F holding the chord. Same with the F G… index the F# to the G. Otherwise, everything was slick :-)

@michaell.8938 10 лет назад

Sweet Tele.

@drock2333 8 лет назад

Andy, are you running anything other than the pedals and the Fender Reissue through the signal? It just sounds too good to be true. I can't achieve that level of guitar sound without vintage instruments/amps.

@salcasabianca 10 лет назад

nice

@acrobat7646 2 года назад

Bravoooo grazieeee

@petergraf7444 8 лет назад

Hey, cool playing!! But I guess one chord has the wrong discription: It isn`t Gm/A# in the verse, it`s Gm/Bb! So its the third in bass. ;-) Best greetings, Peter
