Dominic Miller On Playing The Police's Music With Sting

[@RMoore-zt7zs]

Every vocalist should be so lucky to have such a superb guitarist and friend backing them up.

[@fretwiz1]

Amen!

[@jakubborczuch7543]

True that!

[@BoutYoungAnnaLee]

Any musician should be lucky so to have such a superb songwriter and legend even look twice at them

[@brokl26]

I love that quote. Thank you for posting it because it actually fits every facet of life. Once again, thank you.

[@agustinmarioquiroga3776]

What about tardy with either note? 😅

[@russellpinkie9775]

Good on him for taking nothing away from Andy's riffs, Andy was a genius with his guitar riffs 👌🍻

[@richardfairlamb9728]

Definitely. His unusual chord choices and sophisticated lines and Melodie’s are genius.

[@shawnmcvey7789]

Andy Summers composed those parts so perfectly you have to play them. It's like Beatles parts, integral to the songs.

[@juliejordan3090]

I alway hear the medieval / renaissance sound in the ballads, they seem like 1,000 year old works of art, so beautiful!

[@jeffreysalzman1497]

Yeah I think that is what Rick meant, that they sound like a song that was not so much written but a song that always was.

[@wuodbonde]

the great example of this style of medieval sound is the song You Will Be My Ain True Love. Sung by the wonderful Allison Kraus, it's Sting's ear for melody and harmony that makes that song sound so haunting.

[@jodo985]

The rockstars behind the rockstars. These Dominic miller interviews (and pretty much all your interviews) have been fantastic. I like this avenue you’re going down.

[@holmesketrick7]

Dominic is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, with Andy summers. So I love that he honors the song.

[@theTruthLifeNWay]

That guitar he's playing sounds lovely

[@jeffreysalzman1497]

I think it's his hands.

[@theTruthLifeNWay]

@@jeffreysalzman1497 it's jacked into an amp, the sound through the amp is ultimately what I'm referring to, of course his playing is stellar

[@latitude48design]

What kind of guitar is it? I like how small and playable it looks.

[@ColonelJedburgh]

Well you probably won’t get bad sound on a Beato channel, and, yes, Miller is Miller, but…still. That little white guitar sounds quite remarkable! Would love to know the make, too…

[@theTruthLifeNWay]

It's a K Yairi CYTM custom and north of $4,000

[@davidsummerville351]

Some beautiful chords.

[@CaesarDarias]

Jeffrey Lee Campbell, the guitarist who toured with Sting during the marathon Nothing Like the Sun tour, wrote a detailed, brutally honest and very entertaining book about his experience. He wrote about the time Sting absolutely ripped into the band because they weren’t present, moaning about the grueling schedule and basically mailing it in. Sting wasn’t having it.

[@WysteriaGuitar]

This cat Miller is a real artist, so enjoyable to listen to his craft.

[@albklang1272]

Dominic Miller. 👏👏👏.

[@ethantanatsiwasesedza8305]

Absolutely love these 📝❤️💯

[@josegallegosdds]

Dominic Miller is a genius! What a well rounded fantastic guitar player.👍🏼

[@elizabethbottroff1218]

"Happy Accidents," are what my family calls those moments when the unexpected is discovered while the original planning goes awry.😊 Edit: He dropped me into serious flashbacks with the, "35 years." I immediately was in the back seat of a tiny little compact car. My friend's older brother is driving. We're going over a two lane curvy mountain pass on our way home from the high school. It's gruesomely hot out. No air conditioning. The windows are all rolled down. The car is overloaded. And he's shifting up and down through the gears as he's racing and braking through these crazy dips and turns, as fast as he can go. It became even more surreal with, "Murder by Numbers," blasting at high decibels with everyone screaming and screeching along with the lyrics. 😂 It was the one and only time that I hitched a ride home with him. I have no idea how I survived that trip.😳🤭😂🤣🙃 123ABC

[@treystone1993]

But you'll never forget it... Great memories often come from the edge of the envelope.

[@marksextonmarkeaux4181]

Dominic is just an incredible musical dude! Period!

[@JLJameson]

Can't get enough of Dominic! Please bring him back for more.

[@davejones81]

I LOVE the hounds of winter. They're are some insane chords in it. Great watch

[@mynameisnotyours888]

The trick is to find the right energy…this man is a genius n I’m in apassionado

[@RichSad45]

Love your interviews Rick but have really enjoyed Dominic and the three members of the Police.

[@twostep919]

Sting surrounded by kind, humble, incredible guitarists.

[@jurgen-erisongsfromthelast5139]

humble 😂

[@camphill]

Love these short takes.

[@svgitana2499]

I absolutely love listening to this gentleman talk. Great guitarists and a great interviewer and personality!! 🙌🏻

How nice did that little guitar sound.. Absolutely beautiful

[@a22fc]

Mr Beato is on a roll! Awesome guests! Love it man.

[@weewillywanka5904]

What a great guy. Sting picked the right guitarist for his band

[@a22fc]

Saw Sting live and this man’s guitar tone stands out. ❤

[@Kenny-et1qc]

❤❤❤ I RESPECT DOMINIC'S ATTITUDE AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS ORIGINAL MUSIC ( STAYING TRUE TO THEM)

[@Dwoed]

Great guitar sound and chord voicings❤

[@sunnyseacat6857]

"Changing key changes the character of the song." - Dominic Miller TRUE!

[@CHlEFFIN]

What an utterly incredible MUSICIAN…👏🏼👏🏼

[@giuliolepri596]

I bet if Rick and Dom have a music tv show together, it would be the greatest music show ever.

[@ljcor1899]

Fantastic interview brief. Dominic is a masterful and extremely gifted guitarist

I've been a fan of Dominic Miller for quite some time. I would love to ask him about the effects he used on Chris Botti's album "Night Sessions."

[@ColonelJedburgh]

The …SOUND on that li’l white guitar, tho’…?!? Whew! 👏👏

[@nimamoradi2660]

I love how youtube suggests dominic millers's videos these days😂❤

Beato2 has the best interviews.

[@GES8215]

Hounds of winter sounds like shape of my heart.

[@sixstringemotion]

Tryna give this a thumbs-up, but it ain't workin. Another great interview, Rick... gimme more! Try to get Dirk & Lerxst! Thank you in advance... and for right now.

[@rodneynorfolk9737]

thnx

[@terrat3048]

Sting can write songs than nobody else can. Everybody Laughed (But You), Hounds of Winter.

[@niguel4438]

I could listen to this guy all day. A la Tom Bukavak

[@jamessmith5748]

Very professional

[@johnglenn30csardas]

John Dowland for the last bit. Sting does it on Deutsche Grammophone.

[@Ronno4691]

Mr Miller did a very funny interview once for a UK guitar magazine where he recommended learning Bossa Nova but hiding the book you're learning Girl From Ipanema under the mattress like it was a porn mag!

[@achimwitcoustic9585]

Dominic seems like a total definition of a british gentleman to me.

[@whymewhynot2002]

Great work! Have you had Billy Joel on?

[@allanargamer5812]

Rick I noticed the same thing on the Secret Policemens Other Ball with the low E

[@nickelarcade6934]

I listened to sting doing Roxanne live recently and wondered how he was still able to sing the high notes. Interested he dropped a key

[@raybassman7536]

Rick, Are you going to do anything about Dickey Betts?

[@_fig.8]

captivated

[@mackmaloney3776]

Coolest sounding six-string ever

[@fm7319]

Dominic is funny!

[@WhyTheHorseface]

Did that Dom guitar hit the market?

[@nikkoutsoukos1866]

I love sting and Dominic however, the police song riffs and drum arrangement are not stings. He wrote the song but the riffs and drum beats are Andy's and Stewart's. Roxanne was written as a bosa nova by sting. It's Stewart and Andy that turned it into the song it became. These guys just don't get the credit they deserve for the Police songs

[@jgmusic81]

I remember when Mercury Falling came out in pre-internet times. I was 15, learning guitar for a year and decided to learn Hounds of Winter by ear knowing only basic major and minor chords🤦 And I was like "WTF, why does not a single chord fit this song?"🤣🤣🤣

[@Eric-steele]

You know Rick you have great guests on your show have u thought about seeing if they could play one song at the end of the show?

[@jeremiahlyleseditor437]

Gret Video. What Guitar brand is Dominc playing?

[@genx60five]

Like someone playing a lute.

[@alukuhito]

For a second I thought that was Bob Geldof.

[@TeSp00kie1]

This guy is so talented. It's such a shame he can't afford an adult-sized guitar. Just imagine what he could do. We should pool together some money for him and get him a proper guitar.

that guitar has an amazing sound what is it?

[@splashesin8]

😃🙌🏻

[@davedecker1725]

Me and Vinny Coliuta (kinda young kinda wow) would play the WRONG chords!😅

[@sixstringhans-tone5574]

Isn’t a half step down from standard 432hrz? Or don’t I have a clue what I’m talking about?😅😂

[@Doones51]

Googling it says that E-flat above middle C is 311 hertz. 330 hertz is E. I think you are confusing A (440 hertz usually but sometimes slightly different) with E.

[@mattmarkus4868]

why the other channel? ads..

[@BrentHiggins01]

Medieval/ Renaissance ....hey what's 1000 years between friends.

[@DazotzwaZuma]

Please tell me what guitar Dom is playing in this interview?

[@Doones51]

It's a 6-string mini classical-type guitar with nylon strings but obviously no clear brand on it.

[@neanderthalsnavel7411]

Copeland's crack about Sting's 'hirelings' wasn't fair.

[@BoutYoungAnnaLee]

What did he say?

[@tonykeith76]

I'm desperate.. I've been playing 60s - 70s - 80s rock for more than 50 years and I love the Police but.. I really don't like "Roxanne".. What's wrong with me? 🤣

[@ytnsanw]

How dare he have hair like that at 64? Ought to be a law....

[@shawnmcvey7789]

Dominic is the caliber of guitarist that *can* change keys and retain the magic. I am not😂

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

I wonder whether Andy Summers gets royalties every time Stings band performs Andy’s guitar riff from Every Breath You Take? One thing that’s sure is that Sting performing police songs in a lower key often sounds really awful.

[@melrupinski88]

I believe there’s an ongoing law suit over that issue.

[@J.C.Vleugel]

Subscribe? Don't you have enough important guests? Little annoying that special edited in subscribe request.

[@danielthomas8507]

It's strange when artists change the key it almost never sounds right to my ears to play or listen to..as a police fan since 78 message didn't sound right when he played it?????

[@BoutYoungAnnaLee]

Defo agree with this. The original recorded version of “So lonely” defo relied on a frenetic punk energy and crazy high throat ripping vocal from sting. Now when Sting plays it live it’s in a lower key it barely works at all

[@onurfuck]

He says he will never come up with a riff like Message in a Bottle... (meanwhile the MAN wrote Shape of my Heart) :D

[@GustavoJacob]

Not even near the same ballpark.

[@piedrostone4246]

Educate me. Why does One say the songs are comparable in some way and Another says not comparable. I like them both. But I don’t know much about music.

[@morelife6508]

​@GustavoJacob Lay person here. Could the difference be, Message is more rock based. Where Shape is more classical influenced?
