The Police - Bring On The Night Guitar Lesson

The Police "Bring On The Night" guitar lesson. The next Riff of the Day uses the analog EHX Deluxe Electric Mistress flanger and the Xotic EP Booster for a vintage Andy Summers tone. The main melody uses some fast arpeggios but in an easy to learn pattern with only the D&B strings fretted, while the high E is open. The chorus switches from classical style to reggae and uses some minor7th chords to give it that distinct Police sound. This song is not as easy as it seems so we suggest starting with the finger picking pattern in just one position and slowly work your way to the changes. Enjoy your Riff of the Day guitar lesson!

Andy Summers is too underated. Great technique and creative style. You hear his sound and you know it was made by him

[ethanmcgill]

I wish people would still appreciate this music

[carriersignal]

Jesus. Andy always has the best demos and is about as close to the original as I've seen. Thanks.

[TheGodParticle]

Incredible, has been my favourite song from the police. Thanks for the lesson.

Thanks for this great guitar lesson Andy Martin! Not only did you show how to play the riff, you showed how to get the sound!

Thanks for posting! Learning this song on drums and guitar at the moment. Stumbling on this video helped tremendously. The musicianship of these guys is mind boggling. Especially how they write sophisticated songs mainstream friendly. My favorite band of all time as a drummer and guitarist!

I hope when musicians see this, everyone will see and hear the necissity of fingerpicking expanding one's abilities greatly of adding expression and subtleties to ones playing, a great demonstration, Vic.

Just saw Sting and Paul Simon in concert together and it was a great show.

Andy nails Andy's sound.  Andy nails everyone's sound though!  Some really good lessons on here.

just ran across a vid on YT of The Police in 1980 at The Capitol Theatre in NJ - vintage stuff.

One of the thing I love it's the entire melody played at the beginning of the video (in a lot of tutorials it's at the end or not at all) and the explanations to have the same sound like in the original song in the description wich is very rare in this kind of vidéo. In addition the explanations are clear... I saw many tutorials on YT but those of this channel borders on perfection :D

If you don't know how to play fingerstyle just simply practice. It's an important part of guitar. I couldn't do it for years then I got to the point where I really wanted to be a more versatile, well rounded guitar player so I just kept doing it over and over then my picking fingers blistered then calised over and I got good at it. I almost always exclusively play finger style when playing acoustic now. And I can play a ton more of material more accurate now on acoustic and electric. It also allowed me to dabble more in other genres of Music such as Bluegrass, Country, Folk, Spanish & Roll Flamingo styles. Not that those are my primary preferences of Music but the more you expand your skill the better you are at what you do play because you can incorporate those styles into any music especially Rock & Roll.

Nice choice!  Could you do a solo lesson from Elliot Easton?  Maybe "it's all I can do". That's a tasty one!

[Swfraley]

Like the guy said below, this is how tutorials should be. Show me the fingerings, notes, and chords and resist the urge to talk! Subscribed as of now.

[CharlieBrown]

this is how a tutorial should be. Great lesson!

[davidryan]

Excellent video - thanks for breaking this one down Andy!

[subbbass]

i know that Andy played it exactly like that. But i found it much easier to play it starting on fret 5 and on the higher 3 strings. since i'm not a guitarplayer - can anybody tell me the reason why Andy played it in on the higher frets? Is it just sound ???

[mrbungle]

Hi great lesson, the only thing I've seen that is slightly different is Andy S plays the same but plays the open string through the progression constantly. Can you please look into that. Great sound and thanks for posting. Cheers

[paristhalheimer]

One of my favorite songs to play. I opt for a chorus pedal and deday over the flanger. I just prefer chorus or flanger.
