Brilliant Rob every year or so I try to play the Andy Summers version and end up jacking it in because I can’t do it. This looks like something I can do thank you
I just want to thank you for this, Rob. It couldn't have been easy to transpose this difficult song into an easy version with the exact notes. I very much appreciate it. 🙏
I started looking at this when I heard you’d be teaching it this week. Must say you make learning it a pleasure! Much easier to follow watching you do it. Thanks Rob!
Cheers Rob I’m learning a lot from your vids only been learning since I was 13 ( I’ve just turned 70) and I’ve picked up more tips from you than anyone else Keep up the good work
Man this is great! Why didn't the YT algorithm put you in my feed earlier? Love your approach. All of a sudden, this song seems within my reach. Thank you.
I am so glad I found you. Your cheat sheets are exactly what I have been doing over a number of years by transcribing what I was learning from other on-line lessons. The fact that you provide them free of charge goes to your credit in trying to help budding guitar players learn. I'm 74 and past my bloom and giving us alternate and simplified versions is great, will save time, and allow me to expand my play list. Keep it up. I'll be watching and learning. Cheers.
Hallo Rob, ein riesiges Dankeschön aus Deutschland von einem begeisterten Fan, Deine Lessons sind für mich die wertvollsten bei YT. Mach weiter so, bleibt gesund!
What a guy, you have taught me more in a week than I have learnt in the last 40 years of playing. I really appreciate your videos as I was getting stuck in a rut. It is unusual for someone so famous to be so unassuming.
I done Intel in the 1st job so don't worry about what I'm going to say on one of your tutorials i seen from your window a certain window of a neighbour of yours and it is exactly like my neighbours might be coincidence but it would be great to hear you are close I would pay for lessons.hope you don't think im cheeky but once trained its hard to get it out of daily life
Thanks! I am the Fretting Farmer from Canada-Carseland Alberta to be exact. Usually I'm like Brian Adams-outside freezing my balls off. I do take a bit of time to fool with my guitars and really enjoy your lessons and humor. After watching a bit of the live stream don't forget-Behind every successful man is a Surprised Woman. Thanks again-enjoy
Excellent tutorial! Finally a version of a great song that is achievable for us mortals. Don't if it's because I've been following your finger style lessons but I find this much easier to play in the finger style.
Hello Rob you played that riff flawlessly btw back in the day when my chops were tops I managed to get about two bars before my fingers wrist and forearm started to spasms. You played it like a pro no buzz no muffle time after time.
A good one but taxing my brain to keep it going, picking a bit differently in each position. Almost have page one memorized, but still slips away when coming back to it. Relieve the challenge by going to a more routine piece, like Travis picking Van’s “Have I told you lately”. My wife loves it! She’d like this one if I can get it down!😊
I know what you mean- I struggle too with irregular picking patterns rather than a regularly repeating pattern. I don't know what we can do. Practice I suppose.....
Once again, a really enjoyable tutorial. Thanks Rob. Don't stop what you're doing. Cheers. Ps. There's an easy way to play Led Zeppelin's Rain song, without re tuning your guitar too. 👍🎸👍🎸
Its MEZMERIZING and PASSIONATE AND YOUR SIR NAILED IT TO THE EXTREME OPEN 7ths and suspended 4ths demolished 3rds and some arguementedative 2nds done in a field wined in perfect eargasms galore ... mezmerizing ..... Bravo mate
I like! I learned to play this song the "other way" and it wrecks my fingers - this is great - beautiful sounding chords.Oh yeah, recently I saw a YT video of Sting performing this song at what looked like a garden party, he was playing the guitar and he was playing something similar to what you are doing here.
Another cracking lesson Rob , I’ve downloaded both & hope to work on getting the big stretch ( takes me ages ), I struggle remembering what strings to play without having all the sheets in front of me , but I’m practicing more so here’s hoping I get it , thanks for all your hard work
Thanks for the lesson. I’ve never been a big Police fan, but still want to learn this song because my wife likes it. Your method now makes it doable. Also, I agree with your comment about playing clean. A wrong note sticks out. I guess that forces us to practice more on this piece. 😂
Awesome Rob 'You da man' Thanks buddy for your ultra-eloquent and much appreciated guidance. Had a few laughs already going through your instruction. Now don't go sitting on any corn cobs..😅🤣
Thanks Rob. Your approach and channel are great! As a semi-retired professor of microbiology, I’ve blown the dust off my guitar. Your lessons have put diversity, enjoyment and motivation into my progress. Might you consider a bluegrass, flat picking piece, or have you one in the archives? I like your “8 out of 10” proficiency on most styles, not a virtuoso on any one style! Have you prep’d a lesson on one of your own songs? Maybe one from your CDs. Thank you!
This is a good one. Challenges the left hand chording, the right hand “plecking” (where does pleck vs pick originate from? I’ll use them both!), and the rhythm/intonation. I like it; might take a bit to get there but that’s what practice is all about! Thanks!
Rob, Moving through Every Breath……,the middle part C7 has four picks on the G string. The middle two are noted as off or on. Are the first and last on? I assume so since C7 is on but wasn’t sure. Thanks!
And of coarse the demolished argue mentative 3rd.....I. think 🤔?? ANDALOT OF CORPUS CHORUS STEREO FROM A BOSS E49 ?? ONLY OTHERS world cass guitaristcouldunderstand i a key G # #WOULD BE tie your under wear in a knot vocalist like sting of even Randy minster if the Eagles was actually there best tenor vocalist ....ask the rest of the Eagles vocalist and they say he was hard to duplicate after his removal from the Eagles .....hmm oops am I getting off subject ?? PERPLEXEcD ?? Hhhmm...right ........??? OK need another fatty to twist up so I can be free of my self ......Hhmmm.. right???..
Rob. I would be nice to understand the sounds you are getting with your guitar and Amp. another tutorial to help get the sound cheers mate. Albert down under🦘
Thanks
Ah Rob, yet another genius cheat for us mere mortals. Thank you so much as always for your time and effort
Brilliant Rob every year or so I try to play the Andy Summers version and end up jacking it in because I can’t do it. This looks like something I can do thank you

That has absolutely made my day finding this. I thought I'd never be able to play this. Subscribed and liked.
Thank you for the time you put into these lessons and making them approachable. Your humor is wonderful.
Your Alsome! Thank you for doing this for us beginners! Very much appreciated by this Lady on the Mountain in Pennsylvania
Your approach is a game changer for people like me with tiny hands and bent pinkies. Thank you!
Great, great, great lesson Rob! You are THE best!
Absolutely fantastic, I wish I knew about your channel years ago, best tutorials on RUclips by far,thank you x
Another brilliant lesson Rob.Greetings from Dublin.
Rob you are something else mate, don’t ever stop. A great musician as well. All the best mate
Cheers Rob I’m learning a lot from your vids only been learning since I was 13 ( I’ve just turned 70) and I’ve picked up more tips from you than anyone else
Keep up the good work
Man this is great! Why didn't the YT algorithm put you in my feed earlier? Love your approach. All of a sudden, this song seems within my reach. Thank you.
Thanks so much the first Time where I understood this intro. Big hello from Paris.
Brilliant.Big thanks from an older Scottish beginner.
Thanks
Feck me Rob, with a guitar in your mitts you could explain e=mc²😂
😂😂
Em=C²
😂Ckever! I like it @@scotsman6712
The capo on the 2nd fret made the inhuman stretches unnecessary. Thanks! Happy and Healthy
Brilliant...!! I have learned so much ...And am really enjoying getting over the plateau with my playing....Cheers.!!
These tutorials have helped me more than anything. Reading Julia's Banjo and love it.
fantastic easy breakdown of a great song you get it across really well for us numb sculls well done sir more great songs PLEASE
I have stopped learning another version of this and changing to your tuition. Thank You.
Wow, what a great practical lesson for a great song and riff.

Great tutorial, Rob. Downloaded PDF. Can’t wait to get started on this lesson. If I see you in town. I’ll buy you a pint.. 👍
Fennah Rob you are a GENIUS man! Been struggling with this since the 80s and now solved by your simplification. Thank you thank you thank you.

Hiya, I've been trying to play that beautiful tune for so long
Now I can now you've simplified it
Very good 👍

You are One of Better Guitar i v seen very orifessional picking. Great Rob hello from italy

Great, a nice way into this song Rob 👏

Fantastic. Am still working on the blues finger picking....which I hope you do the other bit soon, but will be trying this after Hotel Cali.

Rob - What a brilliant solution for the Eb and F! So enjoyable to be able to play the whole song - ok if I share your link to my guitar group?
Share whatever you like my friend. 👍🏻😎
You are a god send bless you. Cheers M
Thank you for the excellent lesson and charts!
I am one of the many who have tried in the past to try to play this the "Summers" way and given up !!!!!!! Just down loading this now.Thanks.
Awesome, bloody love it. Jeff NZ
Awesome Rob 'You da man' Thanks buddy for your ultra-eloquent and much appreciated guidance. Had a few laughs already going through your instruction. Now don't go sitting on any corn cobs..😅🤣

Hi Eric, re flat picking check out Ragtime Boy. I did a tutorial for it a while back. 👍🏻
This is a good one. Challenges the left hand chording, the right hand “plecking” (where does pleck vs pick originate from? I’ll use them both!), and the rhythm/intonation. I like it; might take a bit to get there but that’s what practice is all about! Thanks!
Great tutorial!
I just wish I could play like you Rob, I keep trying but sound nothing like you in any way shape or form.
Can you show how to play loving arms, by dixie chicks
Super
how do you feel about doing "Thank you for talking" by Hall and Oates? Its quite an old number but its really mellow.
Cheers
Rob, Moving through Every Breath……,the middle part C7 has four picks on the G string. The middle two are noted as off or on. Are the first and last on? I assume so since C7 is on but wasn’t sure. Thanks!
Great lesson thanks - finally gonna give it go … now where’s me corn cob
Message in a bottle next please!
when you start, you are saying 6th string-6th fret or 4 from capo, but you are playing 6 (5) (3 from capo
I’ll check it. 👍
I will keep plugging away Rob
C
My hobbit hands hate this song!
As a child I gave up guitar because I couldn't play this
Talk too much,sorry
I could have a beer with this guy anyday any time 😊😊
