as you know, I discovered the guitarist (who is the right and left arm of STING, according to his words)
Dominic Miller is an Argentinean guitarist (of American father and Irish mother) born on March 21, 1960 in Buenos Aires.
He learns the guitar at the age of 15 years. He is particularly fond of acoustic guitars with a nylon string set.
A much sought-after studio musician in the 1980s, he joined The Pretenders in 1989. His studio collaborations are quite impressive (see his biography on wiki)
He has collaborated with Sting (during 30 years...), with whom he co-wrote the songs Shape Of My Heart and La Belle Dame Sans Regrets

He is as good with a nylon acoustic guitar as with a telecaster

I took back this version of GUT FEELING from the live performance on You tube ...I didn't have the score and I tried (that's what it is) to take back the organ and bass guitar parts "by ear", with obviously some liberties

the percussion gimmick that covers the whole song was taken from the beginning of his live performance (one bar) and pasted in a loop, the second drum is made with MT Power Drums (free plug ins)

2 guitar plugs (telecaster) with prest Guitar Rig 6
Bass precision bass

thanks for listening guys

Je ne peux pas imaginer ce type avec les prétendants... ça ne semble pas convenir. Il se serait ennuyé en 5 minutes. J'ai adoré les Pretenders et je ne les ai écoutés qu'hier. Ils ont une chanson qui s'appelle "Your Love Colors" que j'adore. Ce type peut probablement jouer n'importe quel style qu'il veut bien que je suppose. Parfois, vous devez aller avec où vous êtes payé. J'aime lire vos messages parce que j'apprends des faits intéressants. Sans oublier que votre musique est bonne.

J'aime vraiment la batterie sur ce JP... et la guitare décontractée avec les touches de drone là aussi... c'est un peu Psychadelic.

I cannot imagine this guy with the Pretenders... that just doesn't seem like a fit.  He would have been bored in 5 minutes.  I loved the Pretenders and just listened to them yesterday.  They have a song called "Your Love Colors" that I adore.  Likely this guy can play any style he wants to though is my guess.  Sometimes you gotta go with where you get paid.  I like reading your posts because I learn interesting facts.  Not to mention your music is good.

I really like the drums on this JP... and the laid back guitar with the drone keys there as well... it's kind of Psychadelic.
