Members kyboch Posted July 29, 2014 Members Share Posted July 29, 2014 Here's my lesson on "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. There's quite a bit of stretching involved in this one, but once you learn the fingering "trick" it's not as hard as it might seem. Not only a great guitar part, very ethereal with all the 9ths, it's also a great exercise for the left hand. I hope you enjoy the lesson.cheers everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thundarr Posted July 29, 2014 Members Share Posted July 29, 2014 Good lesson. I learned this a while back and while it's not hard to figure out, the hand stretching is pretty intense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ancient Mariner Posted July 29, 2014 Members Share Posted July 29, 2014 I recall learning this part about 15 years ago - then seeing a friend with a keyboard set to sound like palm mutes playing it without effort. At that point I gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WRGKMC Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 Playing it in normal tuning and singing it at the same time is most difficult. I found a special open tuning that will simplify playing it on the guitar that made it much easier to sing when playing it. We played it out live that way for awhile but hauling an extra guitar tuned just for that one song was a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted July 30, 2014 Members Share Posted July 30, 2014 Speaking of Transcribe, I took it down to 50% and brought the pitch up 60 cents (that's where my guitar was) and am having a good time with it. Using bars as well as your fingerings. Was able to get the gist of RnR Hootchie Koo too. Great stuff. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much better than when I used to drop the needle on the record....that is if I had the record, or had enough money to buy one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted July 31, 2014 Members Share Posted July 31, 2014 No [asteroids] man. I mentioned slowdowners to a guitarist in my area and his first thought was "Imagine if those were around in the 70s." Between Ytube and DSP there's no excuses.
