Thank you so much LWSog!!!

I LOVE "The Police" and you're right - this composition was the first No1 Police song in the UK single charts (1979).
A long time ago...;-) Makes me proud that you like my special guitar version.

Greetz & all the best,

Jimmy

Hey Jimmy

Great fun. I love the song and how you preserved the melody, bass, and chord progressions. Well done!

Cheers

This is one of my favourite pop songs of all times. I'm normally not a fan of the quiet versions of it whether it's Sting or others. But yours is very peaceful and nice.
