The Police - Every Breath You Take (Guitar Cover)

This was actually a real challenge in having enough stamina in the left hand to handle those 9th chords all the way through, and also to get a similar tone. I used my Mooer 'E-Lady' to get a Summers flange/chorus sound and tried to match the tone that you can hear on the isolated tracks. It was hard to find a nice balance for it without it getting too messy so I thought I would demo just my guitar at the start so you know I am actually playing. I've been asked a lot how to play this, but the band actually play this up a step to how I am doing it. The actual track is closer to the key of Ab rather than A, but they always play it in A. I tuned it down slightly as it's closer to Ab and I enjoy playing it there. This is one of my favourite songs of all time, and also one of my favourite bridges (the 'since you've gone' bit). :)

I use a Charvel DK24 (it's Purple) into a Boss Me50, into a Mooer E-Lady, into a Focusrite interface into my computer running Logic.
