Fields of Gold

"Fields of Gold" is a song written and performed by English musician Sting, released as a single on 7 June 1993 by A&M Records. It appeared on his fourth studio album, Ten Summoner's Tales, and charted internationally, reaching No. 16 in the UK and No. 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Its gentle, arpeggiated style and melodic simplicity make it an rewarding piece for electric guitarists exploring fingerpicking, clean tones, and expressive, lyrical phrasing.

  • The song was co-produced by Sting and Hugh Padgham, giving it a polished, studio-crafted sound worth studying for tone and dynamics.
  • "Fields of Gold" reached No. 2 in Canada, showing its broad international appeal beyond the UK and US markets.
  • The track earned a BMI Pop Songs Award in 1994, recognising its songwriting quality and widespread radio airplay.

Dominic Miller's vintage-style Strats deliver the articulate, uncompressed clarity essential to Sting's fingerstyle electric work, with single-coil pickups capturing every dynamic nuance. Their glassy character and responsive feel make them the perfect platform for the clean, dynamic tones heard across his solo records.
