. Description: Unless you lived in a cave during the early
’80s, you couldn’t avoid the Police. The
power trio fused punk-rock energy, funky
ska grooves, smart lyrics, and a dash
of romanticism to create a fresh, new
sound that was embraced by Top 40 radio
and MTV. At the center of the Police’s
sonic identity was guitarist Andy Summers, whose
rock-steady rhythms, plush chord voicings (often
doused in chorus and delay), and avant-rock solos
were integral to the band’s vibe. When you
listen to guitarists in other groups of the day—the
Pretenders, the Cars, and XTC—it becomes clear
that Summers was up to something different. Most
noticeably, his chord vocabulary was like nothing
else in pop. Pick up a few essential tricks here! This lesson includes Power Tab and is featured on the following CD compilations: ROCK U.
