The Police - Live Hatfield 24/2/79 - So Lonely

"Henry Padovani is the new guitarist. he only knows a few chords, but boy does he look cool in those leather pants" P.241, stings autobiography
"henry has the right image. Henry can't play" ebd. P.272
"Andy blows us all away. He is clearly a fine musician, a master of many musical styles and techniques. This is the kind of musician i could write for, who could inspire me, who could realize the music in my head, this is exactly the kind of musician that the police need" ebd.

ye i rly doubt sting preferred to play anyone else (at the time)cept andy or stewart

Andy`s guitar work may be easy to cop if your a beginner guitarist, with a little bit of knowledge in minor chords ,but the truth is most of the great songs of rock-pop are 'easy' to play just for that reason ,(easy to play but sounds great is how you know its art and not just crapola) it is called 'art' and thats the difference between a creative guitarist like Andy and a guitar hack like Vai or Satriani who had to learn Andy`s licks while in guitar school,lol,

well i like it and a lot

Don't know what you people are going on about... it's the cutest song...
hatfield polytechnic? bless ya!

horrible guitarist? That's the most idiotic thing i've read on here . They didn't get a record deal til andy summers was in the group, twit

are you kidding? Listen closely to his note selection in this solo... very cool choice of contrasting scales.. he may not be the greatest but he is far from horrible.

anche nell'accompagnamento il chitarrista s'imballa......mha...forse uno spinello in più?

hahahaah sei veramente simpatico hahah :-)

e cmq Sting gli lancia una piccola occhiataccia in effetti :-)))
