Every Breath You Take - by Mazz and Bruno

[bruno]

This one was a toughey - mind you, we had fun doing this :-)

The chords on the guitar are almost impossible to shape without choking, I watched a vid of Andy Summers playing it and you have to constantly move you hand, almost a slow motion sweep picking technique, fascinating!!! Mazz (for you who don't know is my daughter - who I co-hersed into singing this, as it was way too high for me, or Ashley - and even for Mazz - hence the rapping in the middle, boy that is high!)

The song structure is not regular either, so I played each of the guitar bits and then pieced them together on the 1600, played everything else straight (a few drop ins on the bass, as it kept doing the unexpected!!!!) - helps hone my editing skills at least :-)

Ah nice one Bruno and Mazz, this one's on my to do list too!

I saw a show on TV which said this was in the top 3 highest earning songs of all time.  It said Andy Summers is pissed off because he got no writers credit and gets nothing for it, despite his riff carrying the song.

Nice job Bruno and Mazz.  Great sound you've got there and valiant effort with the picking.

The chords on the guitar are almost impossible to shape without choking,

That seems to be true for pretty much every Police song, turns out!

Very nice guys, I do love to hear Mazz sing..and Ashley. Next time we need a song for all of us! This is a bear of  song to play faithfully, I drop it to G and it's like a huge brain capo. This could be the "Sweet Derams" of this fest, I'm editing a video of me looping it out today. Really do love this cover guys, well done.
Rock On!
