He uses the open A now because it's hard on the fingers with the B part on the second fret as well. However, the first time the Police played Message In A Bottle live at Hatfield Polytechnic Andy played the A phrase on the E string at the fifth fret just like the recording.

That's amazing listening to that finished thing. You know I can't find one of the two guitars that's like that and Rolling Stones Start Me Up there's that main riff that you hear the intro riff, and then it kicks in with a secondary distorted Rift that is like kind of just sounds like it's descending while the regular Rift is kind of a sending. And then every time I try to look up the tab or somebody playing it I can't find the other guitar which is always doing something different than Keith I believe the guitarist is Ron Wood not for certain there. And when I've looked at other Rolling Stones songs tablature is such often see just the Keith's guitar parts but not the others. Which I usually more complex is not easy not something I'm going to figure out by ear too much that's for sure.

You know, when you play just the chords of this song one after another, even including the harmony, it kinda sounds "meh". Now the genius of this song is how they broke those chords up into single notes, with many notes being on the "off beat" or not in "standard" timing, that did something magical to the sound. The police were geniuses, and I made it well into my 30's before I realized it. Same goes for a lot of bands. 🎉
