Dominic Miller -Sting's long-time guitarist sits down for a very candid interview with DH & T's.

Published 2022-10-05
He's been Sting's guitarist and right-hand man for more than 30 years and the Argentinian born Dominic Miller has also released a number of CDs of his own. Dominic sat down with me before a Sting concert in Bangor, Maine to talk about the impact of the pandemic, writing songs with Sting, drummers he has performed with some of his new music on a new label among other things in this latest episode of DrumHeads & Tales.

    I toured for many years as the Front-of-House engineer for Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Dream Theater and many others. At the end of a tour of South America with Steve Vai, I was starting my trip home from Buenos Aires when I became engaged in conversation with an older, business-type gentleman in the bar of the departure terminal where we were both waiting for our flights. He asked me what I had been doing in Buenos Aires, and I was surprised that he seemed very familiar with the name of the guitarist I told him I was there working with. He asked me which other guitarists I liked, and I told him that one of my all-time favorites was Dominic Miller 'who plays with Sting'. A smile slowly unfolded on this gentleman's face, and he quietly said 'that's my son'. He gave me his business card (I still have it), and I'll always have one of life's lovely chance encounters to remember. He was immensely proud of Dominic, as well he should have been. Should you happen to see this, Dominic, my condolences, and it was a pleasure to share some unexpected but very warm time with your dad.
  • Love his playing and so eloquent. Great to see his kids are following in his footsteps too.

    I’m glad to see an interview with Dominic that focuses on HIS work rather than that guy he’s been playing and touring with the past 30 years 😂 Kidding aside…I dig Sting and consider him a master songwriter, but Dominic has been such an integral component of Mr. Sumner’s music and has inspired MANY musicians such as myself. I hope listeners can hear and appreciate the delicate subtleties that Dominic brings to the compositions. And he seems like such a genuinely humble and gracious cat.

    Been a fan of his since he joined Sting in the early 90’s. Thanks for a well done interview.

    It worked. Absinthe is a consistently brilliant album from start to finish.

    So lovely to see this interview with Dom. He is my favorite guitarist, he puts a lot of his feeling in his music. He plays so long with Sting but has also so long his own music style. He is a multi guitarist A big artist, a big guitarist and a humble man. Love him a lot. I saw him in Brussels with Sting at Vorst Nationaal in Brussels October 17th in 2022.

    Simultaneously grounded and inspirational. Great interview.
  • Dominic is one another planet. He has the best sound, compositions, parts and musical narrative of any guitarist ever. I met him 3 times. He's such a nice humble genius. His music resonates and connects.
  • I have been aware of Dominic for some time but recently heard him playing with Sting in Christchurch and he blew me away with his colouration, texture, clarity and his contribution sympathetic to the songs in my opinion was exemplary. Everything he played was 'Gold' , like it meant something. His sound was solid when needed. It's sublime. What an absolute master.
  • So glad I found this. I'm such a fan of Dominic Miller. Such q brilliant talent.
