Full Lesson - Every Breath You Take – The Police
In the key of A Major / F#m

Hi. The good news is, the picking pattern is easy to remember. The bad
news is, the chords are difficult to hold down. The F#m9 is the toughest
chord. I’ve taught dozens of people to play this song, at first they find it
tricky, but eventually they get the hang of it and really enjoy it. You will be
fine so long as you practice the chords thoroughly. Good Luck. 

this.
