 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 ---------------|---------------|-------------------|---------------|

 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.
