Dominic Miller Plays “Shape of My Heart” and More!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 авг 2017
- Dominic Miller used his Yairi Torres nylon-string with maple back and sides and D'Addario strings to play a bit of "Shape of My Heart," a song he co-wrote with Sting. Dominic’s new album, Silent Light, is featured in the September issue of Vintage Guitar. READ NOW!!! goo.gl/H3iUGx
I used to share a table at an Italian restaurant in Battersea with Dominic. Once I asked him what he did for a living and he said he played the guitar and left it there. It wasn't until he offered me tickets to hear Sting at Albert Hall that, when I showed up, I realized that, yes he played the guitar (for Sting). That is how humble a person he is.
Thank you so much for sharing your magical story. You never know who you might be talking to! 😊
Wao, thanks for the story
WOW! You just made my day me friend!
don't know why he should show off iTs sTinG nOt EmiNeM😂🤣
Amazing story!
This is what the fans want, a tutorial from the original artists himself, so kind and I salute you sir
yep
Gio absolutely 👍
Judging by the amount of dislikes, Dominic's version isn't authentic enough. LOL
Exactly. WTF lol
naah. those dislikes are just a simple proof of 136 idiot exist here as well..
I recently went to a Sting concert (May 2022). I sat front row right in front of Dominic. I'd never seen or heard of him. I ended up spending most of the show watching him. He noticed and gave me his pick at the end of the show. What a class act and incredible musician.
Thank you for this kind story. I appreciate it very much!
This is the song my wife and I fell in love to... driving to Cedar Key on maybe our third date. Fate took her from me in February at only 51 and learning how to play this song properly has been real therapy. Thank you for posting the authentic chords Dominic.
So sorry man..my wife means the world to me, she's been here through thick & thin. I hope you're doing okay & treasure the great times you had w her.
She should had done as she was told
Except of following DA other's
That's right
Cause if you don't God will give it to someone else
That's the first time I listen to Dominic Miller. What a nice guy.
Dominic, your playing is so delightful. Embellishing Sting like Alun Davies did for Cat Stevens. A massive contribution..
thanks
Can't believe he played BWV 997 Prelude!!! I love that piece so much I always play it as a warmup. Thanks Mr. Miller! :D
This is actually dope that the artist cares enough to put out his OWN video on how it's actually played.
Yes, its really nice of him to do this. BTW, if you like this sort of thing, James Taylor has put out a really detailed free video showing closeups of both hands playing "Carolina on my mind", and a bunch of others on how he does his nails, etc. Really great stuff from the artist himself. .
Brian May is doing it on his instagram channel!
because hes tired of it getting played wrong..
Love how he casually started playing Bach perfectly like it was nothing. Gotta respect how humbly this man teaches. Much love sir :’)
Such an eloquently soft-spoken expressive man and a wonderful guitarist/musician! 🍷🍷🎸🎸
Just when you thought that the real playing of "Shape" was pure gold, along comes the most truthful and illuminating insight into the unfathomable process of writing a song. Long live Dominic Miller! Cheers from Argentina.
He was born in argentina funny enough
Es Argentino
I read in an interview with Dominic that "The Shape of My Heart" came from a simple warm-up exercise when he was starting a practice session with Sting. When Sting heard it he said "wait" and went for a walk and came back with the lyrics. Wow. True talent and genius rolled into one. Thank you Dominic for postting these inspirations!
50 years after becoming acquainted with guitar I am now becoming familiar with it. I wish I had begun learning in earnest earlier. I deeply appreciate this video.
No kidding. I’ve noodled aimlessly for decades, just finding now inspiration for actually playing from great RUclipsrs. Better late than never brother
The fact that he recognized the engineering part of musical architecture, just made my day. Cheers.
This video/tutorial from Dominic is priceless. " I practice hyper slow so I can focus on the sound" I could listen to this master talk about guitar and music all day long. Play on Dominic
I've played at playing guitar for 30 years. Only now as an adult have I really started to understand it musically. It is so deeply gratifying and encouraging to hear a true master speak about the writing process that I can identify with. Almost a little like Bob Ross, "Well that was a happy accident!" I have felt that compulsion to complete the circle so strong lately as I play, thank you sir for your insights! I have seen you perform live and it forever changed my perception of how the guitar enhances the music.
Yep. Thats most of us. One day at a time. ❤
Finally had a chance to see the master himself at Sting’s concert a few days back here in Canada. For the first 10 mins of the concert I didn’t realise it was him playing the guitar next to Sting because I wasn’t in the first row. Such a great musician.
Amazing!
Genius man. The importance of practice slowly, precisely and focus on clean sound is everything. Most guitarists don't do that. They try to get faster and faster and the listener is not willing to follow and enjoy the music with it's sound melody.
My cello teacher insisted I practice Bach starting at quarter speed. He would not let me go any faster until he thought I was good at it. I was far too young, did not understand why was he torturing me. Lots of years later.... youknow.... darn.
10:10 minutes that add meaning to my life. Kind regards to you Dominic
So modest and such a great musician. Maybe not a household name, but absolutely one of the best guitar players out there.
This melody is the most moving one I’ve heard. Its complexity is beautiful and the emotional journey tugs at the heart strings.
Me: "The other tutorials all have a harmonic in the middle... this must be wrong"
DM: "...when I wrote this song with Sting..."
Me: "I'll just sit down and shut the hell up shall I?"
Check out this Sting piano cover of Shape of my Heart - It's lush! ruclips.net/video/ET7HFddTJeI/видео.html
I still play the harmonic it’s a way easier transition
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH
@@mesmerizer1 jiji
The harmonic is definitely easier but playing it means you're constrained to playing this in this specific key only; you can't transpose up or down.
I'm guessing that is also why he chooses to play that A note on the 5th fret of the thickest string with his ring finger when he can just play an open A string.
One of my favourite guitarist.. and one of underrated guitarist .. listening to his work on Sting’s album the soul caged is just outstanding ! What a Finest guitarist ..
Johann Sebastian Bach. Suite in C Minor, BWV 997 (for guitar in A Minor).
First Preludium
Second Suite
THANK YOU !!!!
Thank you!
sorry, do you know maybe where to find tabs for it? I'm looking but it's not so easy for me
This song is the most beautiful melody ever, it brings me to my knees, thank you and Sting for creating this heavenly tune!!
Dominic, you're a real star, superb musician and so modest and generous....
This is a rare glimpse into the mind of a genius artist, beautifully articulated for us to enjoy and cogitate on!
One of my favorite guitarists of all time. Such a class act with an insightful presence into the creative process. Well done mate.
Love Dominic Miller. He's one of the few contemporary pop/rock artists to have serious classical guitar background/chops and to bring that sensibility into pieces, with "Shape of My Heart" being the most famous example.
Hi Dominic - Please start a channel where you play Bach "for hours" - I guarantee it would have tens of thousands of views. Absolutely beautiful.
Count me in.
Me too.

I was thinking the same thing as Dominic was playing Bach.
Btw what's the name of the piece of music he plays at 3:37 ???
It's beautiful.
As we all build our legacies, generous giving of ones time as Dominic does here will be everlasting.
"Bach is... scales with personality." - Dominic MIller
Dominic's talk after his playing is truly a priceless reflection on composing music. I can so much relate to it - "solving a puzzle", "closing the circle" - so well put! And hearing it directly from Dominic, who is such an accomplished composer, is just so very special. Thank you!
oh man. I was just talking to Bach, and he said he likes to practice by playing Domenic Miller.
noiseintheoffice …
Séance
Hilarious 😆
That s funny.. !!!!😂😂😂very original...
👌
Great philosophy on music I found your words very inspiring. Thank you Dominic and best wishes for your tour.
Richard Peej a
Merci pour les bons conseils
This beautiful piece is not easy to play on guitar. Full of difficult finger stretches and chord shapes for the fingerboard. Much easier on the piano, lyrical and pianistic with all black notes for that G#min b13 directly under your fingers. Thanks Dominic Miller for a beautiful composition and sharing your helpful comments.👏👍
Sorry G#min 7 (add 11)...
A good reason Dominic has been with Sting for soooo many years. Legend
Oh my, this video was overwhelmingly pleasant to listen to
What a master musician, imagine playing with sting for 28 years.
He should be way more known in Argentina, proud of being his compatriot!
😊
Dominic is such an enigmatic guitarist and personality. I can't help but be captivated by his words.
Among a sea of guitarists on the internet that can make the art sound so confusing , this bloke was able to express his art so clear, humble and beautiful. Real talent is like a drug, one of the good one's!
Just the rhythm of your fingers touching and muting the strings gives this incredible rolling 16th note feel that I’ve always heard in the song but misinterpreted as actual notes. It’s incredible and grooves sooo much harder! Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been coming back to it periodically for the past couple years or so to shed. Your playing is immensely inspiring.
Wonderful and highly experienced performance musician with a classical guitar background . Every word is worth paying close attention to.
Dominic Miller's wise words and advice are such a welcome respite from this whole macho approach that wants the guitar a lethal weapon and not an instrument to touch the soul oh and his humbleness makes him even more endearing to boot (try not to be full of yourself after playing guitar with Sting for 1/3 of a century). No wonder then he is a musician's musician of the highest order, thank you Dominic.
3:03 "The other thing I like to do is practice Bach... when I was learning... teachers I had recommended doing scales & arpeggios & I kind of rebelled against that, didn't like doing it... in fact I was probably quite lazy or something... the solution for me was to play Bach... because Bach is full of scales, except that it's scales with personality & beauty."
I was wondering if Shape of My Heart was based on Bach... Has Dominic ever commented on whether that's the case? Or has anyone found a piece it's related to?
Top bloke,a super humble man,and a uniquely sounding and quality musician,always a pleasure.
How totally inspiring! Thank you so much Dominic, what a privilege to have a lesson with you!
Dominic Miller is one of the finest guitar players in the world. I've been a fan of his since my early teenage days, still listen to him with the very same enthusiasm today.
this is the first time I have seen Dominic in person. I have seen him along side Sting for years and been inspired by his performances and commitment!! What a lovely guy.
This is a great insight on how amazing guitarist like Dominic go about playing and writing music. I have always love his style of playing Dominic plays from the heart and is one with the guitar. Sting is also incredible but his still very lucky to have such a musician of this high standard to play alongside.
I'm so glad I watched this. What a great lesson.
What a Lovely soul. He is probably.my favorite guitar player.
I am going to see him live one day.
I bet he would be great to sit and have a coffee or tea with.❤
i remember where i was so many years ago when i first heard this guitar masterpiece. It was one big reason why i picked up the guitar. I spent hours trying to get this heavenly melody played properly. You are a true inspiration.. and the fact that you are so humble and grounded makes me love you even more. thank you for bringing such a wonderful piece of music into the world.. you are truly fantastic to say the least..
Loved this video. I can hear the shape of my heart riff all day. It is a piece of art for sure. Loved his honesty and humility.
Thanks Dominic for taking the time to pass some tips to budding guitarists. this means everything to us amateurs and I will go get your new Cd as a thanks for you showing a little of your expertise to help others. Cheers.
Your talking to yourself but then over 800,000 are listening! The guitar for Shape of My Heart is gorgeous, thank you for sharing.
This is brilliant!! Dom has the knowledge, passion, technique, and humor. He's an amazing musician who's lived life, and him sharing his experiences is priceless!!
0:12 "that's not the shape of my hand" :) Great video, great song. It looks so simple when he plays it... thank you Dominic.
keep practicing and you will eventually be able to do it. What worked for me was positioning the first three fingers higher on the fret. Then the pinky gets positioned slightly higher, but it still is able to press the string enough.
One of my favourite songs and Dom is a genius! Thank you for creating this song and so many others
Class act and a quality dude…the world would benefit with more Dominic Millers in it. How has it taken 6 years for this to show up in my feed?!? Love his work and this video captures the essence of why I play guitar - to be someone different and better than myself - to be like: Dominic Miller. Great Video, immediate playlist-save.
Thank you Dom. I came to plying the guitar late in life, 58 years old, so i had a lot of catch up to do. Your philosophy to practice is very inspiring. I am going to implement that from to day. Each note to be as perfect as the one before and the one to follow. It's about the sound. Simple but yet so fundamentally true.
He is absolute music genius, and this is more than master class, advice or something.This is for everyone who need to create something🙏
True.
Hi Dominic, I have never heard you talk before, You seem very down to hearth.
Thank you for sharing those tips. I caught a couple of things I my self was playing wrong.
I always enjoy the cleanness of your guitar fingerings. Your classical sounds amazing and you make it look so smooth and easy.
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us.
In my opinion... it is great to share your knowledge, it’s like leaving your legacy to someone behind for them to continue to learn and keep it alive! That is what I called “wisdom of legacy”.
I don't know why, I find this video extremely peaceful. I watched it multiple times last few weeks and I think I'll keep doing that.
Dominic es un excelente guitarrista y magnífico compositor, no necesita demostrar hipervelocidad en sus manos, él más bien pone el arte de de crear armonías y bellas melodías que llegan a lo profundo del alma. Felicidades por su maravilloso arte!!
Y habla español muy bien, por cierto.
@@fiquitoyunque es argentino
Shape of my heart is absolutely beautiful. I love that song! I could actually just listen to that instrumental version and of course the man Sting. 🙂❤️🇹🇹
As all really gifted people, Dominic is a nice and humble guy! was incredible to hear about music from a great guitar composer!
Dominic seems like a great guy. I just watched an hour video of he and Sting. I really appreciate this video, and thank you Dominic!
Thank you Dominic for this. Very interesting to hear about your processes of composing and warming up. You are not only an incredible guitar player but a player that composes beautiful music.
Thank you Dominic.
My RnR after my performances was watching movies and last nite "LEON" came around and so does the Shape Of My Heart. The movie touches my heart n that song make sense.... now it makes me want to play it.
You are one of my favourite players every note that you play is magical & class
"the thing about fashion, is that it goes out of fashion very quickly too" -Dominic Miller
wow... that slow practicing is the ultimate pro tip you rarely hear, teaches you to slow down time. this is a truly amazing being, just getting to know him
"Bach is full of scales except that it's scales with personality and beauty really" 3:26
Uematsu also. e.g . Prelude
Awesome song, awesome arrangement, awesome player
Keep visiting this every one or two years and it's always stimulating. Thank you!
Thankyou Dominic spoken by a true craftsman nice description of the interdependence of an architect. That is the most beautiful song...❤💙💛
Got a lot out of this! Such a talented person
Can’t get enough of this! Thank you so much, Dominic! You made it look and sound so simple…when I tried it, ‘twas really painful but absolutely rewarding! Cheers!
I am so grateful to Dominic Miller for doing this. For me it is truly precious have this 10 minutes of listening to this little chat. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
Shape of my Heart, one of my very favorite tunes of all time. Brilliantly put together. Thank you for the lesson and the insight!
Meaningful class! beautiful playing!
@purgesvideo
This gives me chills. What a gorgeous, haunting progression. Great inspirational lesson as well. Thank you!
Man, this is real talent!
one of the most beautiful, yet accessible, songs and riffs of all time.
Such a wonderful man and top-notch musician! Thank you for this insight! It is precious to hear your thoughts and theories.
Just started learning guitar and am a fan of Sting , too...I found this video by chance and like to listen to his advices ...Thank you so much for sharing !!!
My salute to Mr. Dominic Miller. Always a big fan of his abs looking forward to more instr. videos in the future. This tune has such an amazing feel to it that i can listen to it over and over and never get bored of it. Such a great talent and what a gentlemen he is. Thank you again.
It's amazing that an artist like him is teaching us his most iconic song. Yet, 316 people decide to dislike the video. The're stupid
this was brilliant..
i wonder how many times did he ask himself _ what if i made a quick video on YT?.. before he actually resolved to doing it.
i’m really glad he ended up doing it.
It serves to show that a really honest video..very pure, in its intention, and tone of altruistic force
Só truthful..
What a cool guy. i knew he was talented..and great, as he and Sting would have not been touring together for so long..if they weren’t both really good, and honoring of their friendship..and passion for music.
but , it’s actually different..seeing it for ourselves.as we watch his sharing.
thanks for posting.
cheers
Love Dominics playing and song writing! He inspires me to play better.
Really nice to listen to someone who who really enjoys and can articulate something that they love.
It sounds boring but to be an interesting person is really something.
Simply superb , cheers Dominic
This guy is ridiculously talented…more than most people realise…me included!
This is a song that is played by many and is loved because of the subtle touch of a talented musician such as dominic miller. How gracious to spend time making this.clip.
Fascinating insight into the songwriting process. As a writer myself, I perfectly recognise how Dominic articulates the magic of music. Sometimes a tune happens by accident; sometimes by design but it's always a journey. Hope to see you in March at the 606 in London.
Thank you Dominic for your Shape of my Heart tutorial and advice it is very much appreciated. Have started incorporating Bach into my practice. Would love to be able to play your "Water" composition one day. A tutorial on "Water" would be amazing! Thanks again you're a real inspiration! Ciao Stefano
4:10 ... etc. ?! ..really? .... Sir, I truly appreciate the time you've taken to show us newbs your craft.. but damn man, you just killed some classical and was like.. "..😒..etc..". There are sooo many folks (like me) who spend HOURS/DAYS/WEEKS/YEARS of thier lives attempting to emulate you, be proud. Kudos again sir for taking the time.
That was the most spiritual 10 minutes i spent on youtube. thank you Dominic. live long.
One of the most beautiful songs on guitar. Thank you!❤
I'm a little late getting to the party, but I just had to comment. Shape of My Heart is such a hauntingly beautiful creation. I had the opportunity to watch Ten Summoner's Tales Years ago and enjoyed it so much. It seem that all of you had a great time during the production. I hope it was as enjoyable for you as it was for me.
Thanks so much Dominic!
