Los Angeles, Jan 6 (NationPress) Acclaimed singer-songwriter Sting has expressed his sincere appreciation for The Beatles, recognizing them as the trailblazers for a generation of musicians. He commended the iconic band for effectively opening the floodgates for aspiring songwriters to pursue their dreams of songwriting.

Recently, Dominic Miller, Sting's guitarist, published a songbook featuring 14 classic tracks from The Fab Four, titled The Beatles arranged by Dominic Miller, Guitar Solo Songbook, as reported by ‘Female First UK’.

Miller shared that he and Sting, aged 74, have frequently engaged in discussions about the music and legacy of The Beatles. Sting believes that the musical creations of Sir Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Sir Ringo Starr laid the groundwork for future British musicians, including himself.

In a conversation with Rick Beato on his YouTube channel, Miller stated, “As Sting has often mentioned, we talk about this frequently: The Beatles produced songs and compositions that essentially granted permission for everyone else to try their hand at songwriting. If these guys from Liverpool could do it, then anyone could give it a shot. This opened the floodgates for many songwriters to explore writing pop songs, with structures like verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge.”

According to ‘Female First UK’, while creating his songbook, Miller is convinced that The Beatles are among the few artists whose music remains enjoyable, even when played poorly.

He remarked, “There’s a neighbor a few doors down, likely a piano teacher, who is instructing a child in playing Bach. Despite the imperfections, it’s a beautiful sound. I eagerly anticipate the moments during their lessons when I hear Bach played imperfectly, yet it remains lovely.”

“The same holds true for The Beatles. If someone were to perform Michelle or Yesterday poorly, the magic would still shine through. This was the most significant revelation for me: the indestructibility of their harmony. Like Bach, I believe The Beatles are one of the few composers whose music sounds good, even when played badly,” he concluded.
