Learn how to play Sting’s latest single released last week called I Wrote Your Name (Upon My Heart). The track features guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas. Sting has called the band Sting 3.0.
The song takes a decidedly tougher stance than many of Sting’s recent songs, adapting the classic Bo Diddley beat and featuring an appealingly raspy vocal take from the singer.
Sting’s voice is raspier and rockier than ever on his latest single, and that’s likely because of the band he’s currently touring with.

At the age of 72, Gordon Sumner aka Sting is proving he’s still at the top of his game, especially as he’s set to embark on a major tour of North America, having played throughout the UK and Europe earlier this summer.
