Would love to read your feedback on our sound.

Great stuff... So, you play the guitar? Cool performance, but I need someone who reproduce those Andy's high notes on riff ( I don't know how to say it in english ) also the drummers needs to use the octobons and beats the sticks around the border of the snare.. you have a good POLICE cover band

cheers jose...
hm... the octobans are definitely in use for most of these tracks, just not 'heavy' use.... but i'd like to hear them more too!

as for those high notes... the solo i played in 'driven to tears' was actually reproduced (with me playing of course) from a couple of andy's actual solos.....but i still gotta work on improvising more of that rather than ripping off riffs.... the high notes will come when i play 'so lonely' or the death metal version of 'deathwish' ;P

I don't know exactly the technical name in english of waht I am traying to say you about the high notes on Andy's guitar...my brother who plays guitar do it right... but unfortunately he didn't upoload any POLICE guitar song on youtube

well, let me know when you work it out because i'm interested. i've worked hard on emulating andy's sound so i like to think it's the closest anyone has come as far as the tribute scene goes. i play an andy-modified telecaster with a fender single coil bridge pickup - mounted in the body, a nasty humbucker in the neck, i also have an onboard preamp and out of phase switch. i use the same basic original fx pedals. the only thing i am missing is andy's hands and ability, basically!

Haven't gotten to listen yet, but bumping for others interested.

I found it at this video....search exactly between 3:09 and 3:10 minute that is what I tried to said you... (It is call a sibiling guitar sound?) Is so great and Andy usually did it live and on some record tracks
