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!
