Every Breath You Take by The Police: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights
"Every Breath You Take" by The Police, released in 1983, features a distinctive guitar riff played by Andy Summers using a chorus effect. Sting's bassline drives the song, played on a Fender Precision Bass. The track's haunting atmosphere is enhanced by Stewart Copeland's use of hi-hats and a snare drum played with brushes. The song's lyrics, often mistaken for a love song, actually convey a darker, possessive tone.EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE Original Music By: Sting Performance By: The Police Bass Performance By: Sting ========================================== DETUNE LOW "E" STRING DOWN ONE STEP TO "D" ========================================== VERSE ONE e e e e e e e e 2 e e e e e e e e 2 e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e +-------------------+-------------------+-----------------+-----------------+ |*-----------------*|*-----------------*|-----------------|-----------------| |*-----------------*|*-----------------*|-----------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| +--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--+--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--+-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-+-----------------+
