This is a transcription of the acoustic guitar version recording from Sting's home. As of yet, this wonderful duo version has reached a staggering +46 millions views on YouTube - a figure neither of the two probably had imagined at the time of recording (or the invention of YouTube...). In this recording, Dominic Miller's famous guitar part stands out naked; this is perhaps the closest we get to the songwriting 'core' of the tune, which has by now become a bit of a classic piece of newer songwriting. Enjoy!
This guitar riff has been sampled numerous times, most prominently in “Rise and Fall” by Craig David (2003) and “Ludic Dream” by Juice WRLD (2018). Also, check out the Rick Beato interview with Dominic Miller where they discuss this very riff in the beginning.
