Put your capo on the first fret to play in the same key as the original; You can access a tutorial for detuning by half a step at the following link: • Detuning Your Guitar b...

ANOTHER BRILLIANT INFORMATIVE VIDEO & SONG LESSON.

[@guitartutorman]

You are welcome, I have always loved this one, since I was a teenager :)

[@GuitarCailuong]

Finally, I can play "Every breath you take" without wrist injuries :D
Great rendition, Alan. If I were you, I would replace the C with Cadd9 to make it sound more like the original. I know Police plays it differently but it's just a thought!

[@matthewberry7453]

Every time you upload a new video I play it straight away. Thanks for uploading! I forget these songs you teach.

[@deormanrobey892]

Strait forward and to the point. No yackity-yack. Thanks for putting this up, for some reason I couldn't figure out the d#-f key change section.

[@guitartutorman]

Thank you Orlando, I appreciate your support; best wishes from Wales :)

[@sulaco33]

Beauty in its purest form. An impeccable take on a piece that has - I think - already become and evergreen. Thank you so much.

[@lemusjesus83]

Sounds amazing, Im not from the generation that saw these songs spawn but I grew used to song like these because of my mother, thank you for the tutorial and major kudos on your singing abilities, never hears this song sung with an accent and it still sounds great.

[@Olred10]

I have been playing guitar for less than a year, but with your videos, (and help from a private guitar instructor) I can now play like I have been playing for a few years! Keep up the good work and uploading great videos! Thanks, from Oregon, United States. :)

[@guitartutorman]

Thank you, all the best with your playing and best wishes from Wales - UK :)

[@GM-nq4hb]

What a voice

[@guitartutorman]

Thank you :)

[@vanessaspanx]

Very nice!! Great talent! !when I was in high school I tried to play good in guitar...but I am a bad guitarist but I never gave up on singing and I still sing all this time. .

[@guitartutorman]

Thank you. To be honest; I think its a better starting point to be a bad guitarist with a good voice than a good guitarist with a bad voice - its much easier to improve your guitar playing :)

Grazie di cuore per tutto il lavoro che fai e per tutto il tempo che ci risparmiamo e se non fosse per voi neanche apprezzeremo la bellezza delle canzoni e la soddisfazzione con l'era di internet di poter sapere tutto più velocemente. I tuoi video sono davvero fantastici, le canzoni più difficili diventano alla portata di quasi tutti. Un grande abbraccio di riconoscenza.
