Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly with that assesment. Andy definitely has a "style" that is much his own and difficult to copy in my opinion. I think he deinitely has his own sound too; the way he plays chords, the technique he uses, etc.... I'm a bass-player first and foremost(due all in part to Sting of course), so I can't say one way or the other from first-hand experience. I have been a musician for a number of years though and, although Dom is good, Andy is better and has the experience with other bigger musicians that makes him the better player....

Andy has been playing guitar longer than Dominic has been alive. One way to tell who is better is to listen to as much of both of their music as possible, try playing as much of their music as possible on guitar, and then it would be so obvious who is better that it is ridiculous to make a comparison. Now if your comparison is just for fun to see what people think, that is fine but after spending years trying to play like Andy on the guitar, and seeing Dominic play, there is no question who is the better of the two. Andy is by far one of the most difficult to copy and complex guitarists. He may not be as popular as Eric Clapton but I believe his guitar playing is up there at EC's level or even beyond.

So...I'll ask the question. Who do YOU think is a better guitarist? Andy Summers or Dominic Miller. You can answer any way you want and you can piss off anyone you like with your answer - fair enough ground rules? _______________________________________________ Police mailing list Police@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/police __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
