Subject: BEHIND MY CAMEL by The Police
Behind My Camel
(music by Andy Summers)
This instrumental is off of the Police album -Zenyatta Mondatta-. I think
this song won a grammy award for an instrumental category but I am not too
sure. I do not know what guitar modes or pedals Summers used to get that
eerie guitar sound but it sure sounds cool. Anyway, the major riffs (the
only riffs) are:
(oh yeah, you have to drop the lower E string to D, hence drop D-tuning)
E ---------------|---------------|-10----------------|---------------|
B -----7h8-------|-----7h8-------|-----12------------|-----7h8-------|
G -5-8-----------|-5-8-----------|-------------------|-5-8-----------|
D ---------------|---------------|-------------------|---------------|
A ---------------|---------------|-------------------|---------------|
D ---------------|---------------|---------12--0-----|---------------|
E ---------------|-10----------------|---------------|---------------|
B -----7h8-------|-----12------------|---------------|-----7h8-------|
G -5-8-----------|-------------------|---------------|-5-8-----------|
D ---------------|-------------------|---------------|---------------|
A ---------------|-------------------|---------------|---------------|
D ---------------|---------12--0-----|-5-------------|---------------|
E ---------------|-10----------------|---------------|---------------|
B -----7h8-------|-----12------------|---------------|---------------|
G -5-8-----------|-------------------|---------------|---------------|
D ---------------|-------------------|---------------|---------------|
A ---------------|-------------------|---------------|-3-------------|
D ---------------|---------12--0-----|-5-------------|---------------|
and so on...
You should make sure that each note is lengthened (I think that is called
tremolo)
The bass notes are just C to D, then G. I am guessing that the chords (if
there is a keyboard playing throughout the song, and I am pretty
sure there is) are Cm to Dm to Gm. And that is it.
The song best Instrumental Performance by Duo or Group. To be precise.
*the song won best
It should went to YYZ by Rush though I feel.
