These are all 5add9 chords. This riff is in C#min. So the first chord is a C#5add9 (X468XX)*, the second an A5add9 (579XXX), then a B5add9 (7911XXX) and finally a F#5add9 (246XXX). All chords are played as an arpeggio and on the last chord, you slide the G# note to an A (6 to 7). Of course, the A5add9 and B5add9 can be played with the bass on the A string, if you prefer. Practice well to stretch your finger with the wide chords!
*chords shown low-high, e.g. 022100 = E, X02210 = Am
Whatever happened to this guy? Are you kidding??? "This" Sting? LOL... dang. I think it's pretty fair to say he is one of the biggest names in music since the Beatles. I was watching a movie on cable the other evening that was film put together by Stewart Copeland as the Police were climbing to massive success, and the film ended with the line "Once you get where you're going, the ride's over."
Hey, I'm glad you got it! Sting is probably my all-time favorite musician. He's got it all, great song-writer, great lyricist, great bass player, great singer, he hires the best of the best for his band (in particular for me, Vinnie Colaiuta), etc. But I kinda miss this youthful devil-may-care attitude he used to have which added such fire to his music! Nothing "posh" here! Don't get me wrong, I still love what he's doing now. "Just don't mellow toooo much Sting, ha ha!" This is great stuff!
I had the exceptional honor of seeing these guys in the 07 world tour as well this song and they are sensational, Stings personality really comes out in concert as well as this video. thanks for posting
now if you started reading this dont stop its really scary!ok send this to five other videos in 143 minutes.when you are done press F6 and your crushes name will apear on the screen in big letters this is weird because it does work.if you break this chance you wont have a crush in the next five years
The guy is well respected, but it is a shame that he says that stewart keeps bad time! He used to rush all the time but is one the most influential band drummers of the last three decades! So get real and beware of your comments! sucker

Search for "artekolor" if you wanna see the police live in chile (1982) with horn section...very rare ;)
Busca por "artekolor" si quieres ver una muy rara actuacion de the police en chile con seccion de viento (bronces) en el festival de vina del mar - 1982
Sting, in "Broken Music," on playing for an audience of six:
I invite everyone down to the front of the stage and they dutifully troop down from the gods to occupy the six seats in front of the footlights... Having broken down the fourth wall, we then proceed to give one of the most blistering sets we will ever manage... The entire audience will come backstage after the show. As it turns out, three of them are DJs, and tomorrow "Roxanne" will make her sassy debut on the local airwaves.
Stewart says in the "Everyone Stares" DVD that the Monserrat studio was destroyed by the volcano. Tragic.
