I think I understand What you are saying. about andy making "mistakes"... and I understand much of what you say... I guess If you are a guitar player (like myself) I think you would know some of the things that go on. while you are playing.. but first let me birng you a cool note.... I check one of my old Magazines (GUITAR WORLD FEBRUARY 2000) and I say a short note on INCUBUS guitar player Mike Einzinger... and the guy did nothing but mention that his work on Incubus previous album "STELLAR" was very much like ANDY SUMMERS . in the sence that it was Full of delay and Echoes... and full of atmosphere... I MEAN THE GUITAR PLAYER OF THE HIP NEW ROCK BAND INCUBUS LOVES ANDY????.... and the Article is called POLICE ACADEMY.... So with that little cool note I demonstrate that ANDY CAN PLAY.... KNOW WAHT KIND OF MUSIC DOES HE PLAY.... He is a fusion guitar player... he incorporates JAZZ/Rock (old school rock like 50Žs rock) african beats, etc... He is not an perfect player I know... but he is just about the best line player there is... he can play a scale to fit a chord... he can be flexible enough to mix (a please do try to get my metaphore) Milk with lemon and still make it taste sweet and sour... that's Andy summers... If you wanted to see "robot-perfect" guitar players You might want to check out JOE SATRIANI or STEVE VAI or better the robot it self BUCKETHEAD (Tht buckethead is Nuts)... they are all great players and they won't miss a note they won't be out of tune... great solos... I admire them I play "summer song" or "snatch boogie" in my car and I just Hit the pedal... and I feel like I have a ferrari... but andy summers is like listening to a MORE SOULFUL KIND OF STUFF.. AND I INVITE YOU TO LISTEN TO ANDY's "A PIECE OF TIME" (a great song to demonstrate the Milk and Lemon metaphore)... to wrap this long and ridiculous email.. I have to say that Andy summers does Improv 98% of his live shows... so what you saw maybe was andy just chillin' and having a nice time and NOT WORKING :)... and besides who wants to listen to something that sounds exactly the same as the album... If andy made a mistake.. well at least you know he is playing NOT LIKE N'SYNC or BRITNEY SPEARS... ROLL PLAYBACKkkkkkk... On last note... watch The Hot Licks Viedo on Andy Summers and Then We Talk... I didn't mean to sound Agressive But I have to fend for My IDOL...
