  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.
