  • Please see the original post at the bottom. I just bought the CD and wanted
    to figure out the rest of his song. I have just a few additions. The
    original poster has the main riff which I have as Phrase I. This seems to
  • only be used in the 1st iteration of each verse. These are major chords, for
    the remainder of each verse uses the minor version of these chords (see
    Phrase II). Phrase III seems to be the same everytime, it is used to wrap up
  • a verse and go into the chorus. Phrase IV is the chorus. The 3rd chord is
    a Gmaj7 - I gave an alternate way to play it. On the CD, it sounds like it
    may be played open (the second example below), but I think it sounds a
  • better as a barred chord.
     
    Guitar Setup:
  • Use the neck pickup for a warmer sound. If you have a chorus, set the "Rate"
    tp 40% and the "Depth" to 60% - that's the generic Andy Summers sound.
     
  • Playing:
    I don't use a pick on this song, it's easier (and sounds better IMHO) if you
    use your fingers. Use your thumb to play the bass note, and index/middle/ring
  • to play the rest of the chord.
