Default Every Breath You Take

A Police/Sting favorite of many, this solo fingerstyle arrangement was done by Daria Semikina but I did my own version on the chorus/bridge because I just could not play the key change as she wrote it.

Played on my Kostal OMC. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.

Hi Bob,

Very nice! Well done! I didn't realize you owned a Kostal OMC. What a very nice sounding guitar!

Really nice job Bob, I love that song also. I agree with Glenn as well, that Kostal sounds really good!

Well played Bob! Your guitar sounds so full, warm and clear… I haven’t heard many of his guitars and yours sounds really pretty. Great song selection and beautifully played.

Thanks Glenn. I’m very lucky and thankful to own the guitars I have. They all inspire me every day.

Thank you Eric. I do get kind of a stupid grin on my face every time I play this guitar!

A beautiful flow to this, Bob! Wonderful job....loved that introductory chord and how it sets the mood of this piece, and then provides the foundation for the entire song.
Great!

Great!
Thanks Fred. Wish I could take credit for the opening intro chord but I got that from a YT video of Sting playing the song at a gathering at his home in Tuscany. It does make for both a nice alternate intro and outro to the song.

Thanks, hoping my learning curve in maintaining a sweet touch continues. So much of it comes from hearing what you are playing.
