Very nice lesson! Back in the day, I listened to this song endlessly and struggled to try to get the guitar part. I got some of it right and was somewhat close on the chorus but it took forever. Now I’ve got the song down in 20 min. Where was KZbin and lessons like this 40 years ago? What I could’ve been… Thanks for all the work you’ve put into these lessons.

Same. LOL

Thanks Howard. Please keep the Police lessons rolling.

[@markybgoode]

Absolutely loving all these Police lessons. I've been a fan of the band since the 1980s. Always struggled with learning Andy's guitar parts. I even once bought a Greatest Hits guitar TAB portfolio yet it was limited in many ways. I think this is my favorite lesson of yours so far. Even though "DON'T STAND" hasn't been my fav Police tune I really like your instruction. You really broke it down and unlocked the mystery. Big Up!

Thanks so much... More Police is on the way. I'm shooting Murder By Numbers later today :-)

[@markybgoode]

[@TrustATinOwl]

Another great lesson, thank you! Would love to hear your breakdown of "I've Got A Feeling" by the Beatles.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Yes! I've got to get to that one 👍

[@zhenghuihe2447]

Great one,thank you! Just a little suggestion, maybe play the whole song with the tab at the end of the video. Haha

[@kawaiicarrot3112]

Fantastic lesson. Thanks. Everything she does is magic next? 😃

[@mdc53]

Excellent

[@TheKinoEye]

Complexity via simplicity

[@curragh4635]

Hey I've been watching Andy do this live and especially the one video of him from synchronicity tour he's playing chorus 2 frets up. Is the Roland tuned down at all??

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

That's my catch on it... You can see it in other live performances as well. I think I mentioned it in one of the tutorials - can't remember which song :-)

[@rolando0572]

can you comment about the effects that you are using here ?

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

Hi - For Andy's stuff, there is almost always a healthy dose of chorusing... And depending on the song, some delay as well. The tone usually pretty clean and punchy. I hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching.

@@247GuitarwithHowardHart yes, we all know that, but tell us the eq please

[@marcelocastro5037]

If you have played toghether with the record also, it would make much, but much more sense.

[@247GuitarwithHowardHart]

I agree... Unfortunately there are copyright issues involved with that :-(
