Andy Summers of The Police gives a demonstration of the Roland GR-300 guitar synthesizer with the Roland G-808 guitar synthesizer controller to Jools Holland. Andy shows how he used the GR-300 in the smash hit, "Don't Stand So Close To Me". This is the same rig that Andy is featured with in magazine advertising and in the Roland Users Group Magazine, Volume 2, Number 2.

    That's Andy's Roland Electric guitar there(I don't think he has it now), and as mentioned in the video, he used it for the "Don't Stand So Close to Me"(that chilling opening sequence to the song) and also as mentioned elsewhere on "Secret Journey".

    it's weird that if you search KZread for Andy Summers and "Roland" or "guitar Synth" there's literally only this video. you'd think there'd be more info!

    It's weird. You rarely hear about the Roland at all. There is a video or two of Metheny demoing/talking about it.

    I liked the overall sound of Zenyatta Mondata which was recorded in Holland. Ghost in the machine has a live feel to it. It was recorded to be played live. Something they learned early on.

    That is a great observation. Pat Metheny has been using the GR-300 for one really great sound for more than 40 years. But these days we expect synths to have 1024 sounds, when really you only need one or two great sounds.
