Roxanne by The Police: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Roxanne" by The Police, released in 1978, features Andy Summers' iconic guitar riff played on a Fender Telecaster. Sting's distinctive bassline drives the song, played on a Fender Precision Bass. The track's reggae-inspired rhythm and Sting's emotive vocals helped it become a hit, despite its controversial subject matter of a man pleading with a prostitute named Roxanne. The song's raw energy and catchy chorus have solidified its place as a classic in rock history.
