I was channel surfing recently and came across a documentary about Andy on Sky Arts - Great Guitar Riffs (Season 1, Episode 2 I think!). It was riveting and I watched it all. Andy came across as such a down to earth, interesting, clever guy and hearing about how he developed his unique playing style, etc, was fascinating! I just couldn't stop watching! He's so talented and maybe not as widely recognized as he should be for his huge talent and contribution to the Police - their success was definitely NOT all about Sting.
Oh ... I had no idea he did scores for movies too - I wanna find out ... Andy is such a nice gentleman type of guy - so grateful I saw him live in a small venue
Andy was always the guy that no one expected. Once you hear his work, it always ''springs'' on you, surprises you because there wasn't an expectation of him doing anything specific. I can't remember not being pleasantly surprised by anything he has done. Him, more than anyone else, I've heard praise from metal heads and country players alike toward, even people who hated whatever band he was with. That alone, to me, is a testament to his value in the realm of noteworthy musicians.
Andy is such an amazing musician and so funny on every interview - so smart and cool to listen to him on creating music. An amazing guitarist! Huge fan!!!!
Those who can, SHRED! Those who can’t, talk shit! 😂 I couldn’t help myself, I love Andy Summers!! The Police was the very first concert I went to in Philadelphia during the Ghost in the Machine tour early 80’s!!! I can Still remember the concert like it was yesterday!!! Great concert!
I love the he gets Eddie. It's not about the shredding, it's about his musicality. Song after song, built mostly of simple double-stops and triads, but placed in time well, played with fantastic feel.
music keeps you young. he's unbelievable. does not seem like he's 81, holy cow. he was playing with the Animals in the 60s, jammed with Hendrix, at one point was living on a beach in california, and rose to the top again. his autobiography is amazing.
Looks amazing for 81. Great guitarist.
His autobiography is an excellent, excellent read!
I’d really like to get an Andy Powers electric someday.
Humble man nice guy fame never went to he's head he never turned into someone else great all round guitarist

Andy Summers & Robert Fripp both studied guitar sharing the same instructor
WOW. I am a fan of both
@@WhizMitchell On good personal terms .....
I think he meant Andy Powers, not Masters electric guitars
The Police are in my top 5 bands. 👍👍
Andy Summers uses pedals? I can only wish I look that good at… what is it, 81?
