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....

Anyone who thinks for even a minute that Dominic Miller is a better
guitarist than Andy is a complete moron and should look up the definition of
the word "better." 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.

Hey everyone. I'm not so sure if this has been discussed recently. 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?
