Mr. Fripp you're a legend. I'm so glad you're active here on TH-cam.
49 years to get a clear view into what is going on. This is quite the gift. Thank you Robert
I was introduced to King Crimson in 1969 at the vulnerable age of twelve with the opening salvo of "Twenty-First Century Schizoid Man" and the album ITCOTCK. I followed them up until Islands, but got briefly lost with LTIA and SABB, before the penny dropped upon hearing Red. I then rapidly re-explored the pervious two records and realised what was going on. Fracture began to burn into my brain, initiated by LTIAP2 and culminating in finally grasping LTIAP1. Something profound happened post Islands which has retained my obsession with KC and later Robert's solo work. Along with Brian Eno and Frank Zappa KC and the Fripp regularly feature on my play list. Thank you Mr Fripp for over fifty years of sonic wonderment.
Being 51, I feel lucky to have seen King Crimson as the triple duo in 1995. I enjoy every era of King Crimson. Though I'll admit that Islands is my least favorite. The Wetton era was truly monstrous! Damn shame that John died in January 2017. Thank goodness I also got to see the original Asia in 2010.
@@DavidLazarus I agree re; Islands. Even though Fripp is dismissive of the flawed Lizard, I think its a better album. The track Islands does break into a great end section though. The Bruford/Wetton era though was truly great.
@@Alun49 - I too quite enjoy Lizard. I need to bring it out of the archives. Unfortunately, much of my music is in crates right now. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
@@DavidLazarus And you!
@@Alun49 Ι love both Lizard and Islands and I really can't understand why Robert Fripp ever thought of it as . Lizard was the first KC album I listened to and it filled me with amazement. Islands epitomized that amazement for me.
1. Toyah is brilliant
2. Ooh pretty guitar
3. HAZARD
4. Such a gorgeous garden
5. HAZARD!!!
A. How many of us will watch this over and over again?
Thank you so much Robert!!!
I absolutely love how the melody shines through all the chromatic chaos!!
"I am so Glad" and now "I feel free" Thanks bro Robert it Is a fantastic gift...
A number of Fripp's works from over the years, including Fracture, could almost be considered Etudes.
just 25 minutes more to wait....With Love to BROTHER ROBERT!
Do not fall for the guitar prize scam.
I've been playing the guitar for about 28 years and as illuminating as the lessons you're kind enough to share are...just look at that beautiful garden! My favorite part of the vlogs. Tremendous variety, a veritable Xanadu!
" The battery died.." That floored me,
( laughing! ). Thank you, good sir.
And I was one of those naughty hands at the 10.37 mark, during a Guitar Circle with Robert. He hissed at me (multiple times!). Thank you for making yourself available to us at Glen Cove, Robert, and for the fantastic lessons. Those Fripp hisses shall ever encourage me towards improved playing and discipline!
Discipline GET ITTTTTTF
ssshhhhhhhhhhhhheeeehhhhhhhh
Fripp and Eno. Baby's on fire. My first time I had an out of body experience!!!!!!!!
Very interesting to see how much emphasis is on the left hand considering what a right hand challenge the OST Fracture is. Many people miss the held notes in the motif. It's not straight 16ths!
Not to mention that Fripp has played it in two different tunings now. Wait until he decides to tune in 6ths.
Yes,there’s 2distinct melodies going on at times
Long time ago I tried to get a guitar teacher to try to figure out your song Red. Must have been C tuning.
@@stringspicksandfiddlestick6388 Still in E standard, everything up to and including the 80s is E standard, the first time he uses C pentatonic/Guitar Craft tuning is on one or two songs on the Andy Summers collab "Bewitched", after that its C pentatonic.
1959 LP, drooling.
A joy to see this composition played. Also great to see the left hand, I hope you can show us the right hand picking pattern. Which presumably is even more nightmarish to watch.
I hope you know how appreciative we are for you posting these! Thank you very very much Mr. Fripp!
Thank you Mr Fripp. I am a listener of your music since 50 years. My english aren't good enough for your taste of humor but i still enjoy your music. Thank you.
Fracture is my most treasured Crimson track and that really is saying something since I have literally dozens of Crimson favourites...I am in total awe...
It truly is a wipe out track. Afterward, you have to restructure.
Another amazing trip into the world of Mr Fripp. Kind sir I am speechless watching your left hand at work. I have watched Tony Levins hands many times during the years of Peter Gabriel’s live concerts and after watching your hand closely l now get it. Back when Crimson was playing we didn’t have this technology and watching this is simply amazing. I love the garden and it is peaceful and serene. Thank you for sharing a part of your world kind sir all the way from Australia.🖐🙏
that should keep your student busy for awhile,HA!Brilliant little lesson thank you.
Hi Robert... 2 requests from a lifelong fan: 1. RIGHT HAND!! Teach us (and point the camera at) your right hand picking technique! And 2. Can you also show us "FraKctured" (both hands visible) also? Thanks!!
Its a SECRET technique Mike. Its really TOYAH playing the strings with her TEETH with that wild expression in her eyes you'd see in her 1980s videos.....lol 😊
Ahhh-Thank you for showing us your marvelous Garden again, Master Fripp !
I'm not really a nerdy nerd, or even much of a musician. But Fripp has long been my fave guitarist, and this channel has now become my fave thing on TH-cam. Every episode is so much fun!
Hearing just the guitar part, played with a clean tone, I am reminded of Raymond Scott.
And the lipstick makes you look dashing! Like Captain Blood with a guitar!
Lovely to see you playing the Burny Custom Mr Fripp.
I myself am a collector of Japanese ‘Replica’ Les Paul guitars and find them more preferable to the American counterpart however it lifted my heart to see you are are still in position of the wonderful 59 Custom.
Many thanks for all the joy you have given throughout you career and keep up the good work!
Regards.
Watching these videos is rekindling my motivation to practice with good posture and with a metronome (which I haven’t done in 16 years)
I loved the Crimson era that yielded "Fracture" and so many other timeless and intense classics. Robert's playing remains stunning.
a beautiful garden for roaming around and write poetry...😇🥰🙂
The old Kahler tremolo is my favorite too. Like everything advertised as salvation from tuning troubles, the strings go out of tune. But that’s just playing guitar. Tuning up is unavoidable, and whatever means the player prefers for bending notes and for tuning up after the music stops is what the player should use.
Your sharing of your playing suggestions is most welcome. The trips to the garden are good fun as well.
Thanks for doing this series.
Same here...I have a vast guitar collection with just about any kind of tremolo but the Kahler Flyer is my favorite by far 😁😁😁
Especially the first ones...
I love everything about them especially the fact that I can adjust the saddles according to the fingerboard radius...Unlike the Floyd Rose...
Can you transcribe this including the 15:29 "Bollocks"? Baaahaa haaa! How many takes was that to reach almost perfection? LOL. I am loving these videos Sir Robert. Thanks so much for sharing. I just got my ticket to Covington. Glad you included our little town on your trip. A surprise visit by Adrian maybe?
Why does the audible exasperated Fripp sigh always makes me smile? :)
With Robert’s permission I will print a shirt with: “Tuning? There is no end to it! (Robert Fripp, TH-camr)” 🤟🤟🤣
That pinky is the most serious pinky I’ve ever seen. It should run for Prime Minister. ❤️🙏🏼👏Bravo!
Wow! Finally! Finally, after 40 years of trying I now know the proper Fracture fingering! Thank you Robert! 👏👏👏
As a 65 year old guitar player, I hope to soak up the wisdom of Mr. Fripp........Thanks and keep those videos coming!!!
Great to hear a bit of Fracture again :) ! My first KC tune was blasting in a car, 'One more red nightmare' when i was 15 yrs old. (Hitchiking back from Los Angeles to Ventura...) I'm now 55 !
You 're a genius sir Robert Fripp,playing that kind of music on guitar.I always found so.
Its fascinating to hear from this man in his home. Which after I purchased In the Court of the Crimson King some years back, we all thought his home might be in someplace like Jupiter.
I’ve listened to you for decades
You always amaze me
Thank you so much for the lessons Robert.
I will probably not learn to play "Fracture", but I will improve my technique.
This is tremendous Robert, thank you
I really enjoy listening to Robert discuss musical concepts. As a guitarist/musician/Composer and music teacher myself, I appreciate this and think Robert kicks ass! Beautiful Garden too.
would be nice to have a 2nd cam pointed at the right hand while you playing Mr Fripp.
Thank you for this. Hopefully in a future episode we can see the right hand?
Fracture is one of these pieces that will never get off my head.
I've been trying to learn it for such a long time and everytime i see something related to it i get a mix of great admiration and fear for Fripp
June 19, 1974. Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. Row 14 on the aisle. (Funny I remember all that, but it was a memorable evening.) It was during Fracture that two fellows sitting next to me, who had been getting more and more agitated and disoriented lost control of themselves. One grabbed my collar and shouted "This is a funeral! This is a f***ing funeral. We're all DEAD!" at which point, they leapt over me, ran up the aisle screaming and never came back. I think there were many unseen forces at work that night.
I am simply, thoroughly amazed
Mr Fripp being intimated by his own writing is pretty fun to watch.
You write ambitious material when you are young and hungry, wanting to prove yourself. Then you don't realize people will expect you to perform this material for the rest of your life. Yikes!
Why do I get lost in Robert's thoughts? Such a joy to listen to this wonderful person.
Always a great knowledge builder with my time viewing Professor Fripp! Fantatstic garden tour. See you in Toronto
Hello señor Robert Fripp! Love King Crimson!, such advanced music!
You make a complex thing look like as if it was simple to play. Your fingers move along the fretboard like a spider chasing notes. Thank you Mr. Fripp. Greetings from Rio De Janeiro.
I have always loved how your guitar sounds like a hummingbird having indelicate mid-flight congress with a bumble bee…a beautiful and bewildering marvel! Thank you for all the years of extraordinary music
thank you for doing this - huge gift to offer an education - thank you.
do you think what you're suggesting here might be translated into some "principles of the left hand"?
When I see Robert, I take my guitar and start to practice. It's already a habit.
Please do another Guitar Circle in the northeast next year. I was packing and ready to go and I tested positive for COVID. I spent the week in my bedroom, listening to many wonderful recordings and wondering what you were showing the group that day . I missed what may have been the highlight of my life! Fan since 1974 when I got Starless and Bible Black for Christmas!
Robert, ❤️ & best wishes.
I just found this today.
I texted my friend whom we went to our first crimson show in 73 the Ted tour.
So we are both looking at 70 soon.
I expressed to him, that you seem to be sweet and happy and a human being that we thought you were when we became fans so many years ago.
Thank you for being you, so many people disappoint you if you meet them.
I’m buying you book on Amazon now.
✌🏻Peter H.
Robert, although I'm a huge fan of your music, KC and all the various bands you have worked with and those on your label.
I have to say, if I visited your house now I would be far more fascinated by what is on your shelves. I hope one day you do a tour of your collection with your wife. Curious what books you collect and have read and what subjects or authors. You'd have to keep an eye on me I'd be pulling out and looking at all your collection. Although, I certainly don't have such a beautiful house, I also have a house full of books your collection really catches the eye. So often on youtube people have what I'd call 'vanity bookshelves'.
Also an amazing garden too. I think you should open it up for visitors under the National garden scheme 👍
Thanks for the kind nod .. 😉 you read, and understand,
and you still have her
a treasure to me, like all you did, and nothing else to say,
just - thank you so much.
Lovely warm but clear tone on that black guitar 👍✨
Thank you for sharing this, and for explaining some basics for use of the hands.
I have some need of such instruction.
WOW, thank you so very much oh great Mr Fripp, this is so highly appreciated you have me sitting here open mouthed and in such a wow state, I'll have to watch this many times and am ever so grateful it's a TH-cam re-watchable clip. My inner guitar nerd thanks you immensely every time you bring out that beautiful classic Gibson(a Gibson from when Gibson was actually great.) Fracture for me, is one of the finest pieces of music ever written for the Electric guitar period. So very nice to see your magnificent garden which is musically inspirational in itself. Finally so amazing that with even a casual playing for yourself there was only a single bollocks on a run through and so very sad your battery died. My recommendation is always Energizer batteries as they tend to outlast the majority of manufacturers out there. They even do lithium 9V batteries as well to add extra running time. Not sure what you use, but felt compelled to add that information for you. May you and Toyah continue to Rock on and have the best of fun.
"...the _final_ incarnation of King Crimson." 😥
Yay!, I´m so happy right now, thank you Robert!
That was a real treat. Thank you.
Sorry to hear about the kissing thing. Abuse comes in many forms..
Lush, well ordered, comfortable Autumn garden. Thank you.
Your playing is a journey !! It has been a great experience!!
Met Richard in Paris for a few coffees. What a lovely man
Thank you Robert for all these tutorials.
Such a fantastic insight into your playing and technique.
I have been a fan since hearing the first album back in the early eighties.
I would love to see some info around your rig .....
Gold nugget. Thank you Robert.
If you are taking requests and don’t mind demonstrating on an E-A-D-G-B-E-tuned guitar, I’d love to see some riffs from League of Gentlemen (the ‘80s band, since you’ve noted you also had a ‘60s League of Gentlemen band). In particular I’d love to see what I think was track 2 from side A, called “Inductive Resonance,” from the eponymous album … granted, “Cognitive Dissonance,” “Trap,” “Dislocated,” any or all of those would also be delightful, but if I had one wish and the spirit so moved you and you had the time, an “Inductive Resonance” demo would be grand!!
And I regret not asking before, since you mentioned it once and I’d not previously heard of it, but what was your 1960s League of Gentlemen band all about?? Who was in it with you? Did it record any music?
For that matter, if we’re casting back in time: what was it like replacing Andy Summers in a hotel band!? Was this in a resort town, or did the locals turn up to dance, or … what was the story? Was it like a jazzy tearoom band? Any of those honestly sound pretty awesome! When I prowled around the UK soaking stuff up, among what I dug most were all the independent hotels in places I never would’ve expected, which apparently catered to post-WWII UK vacationers nipping a few towns over for a breather, or to locals looking for a nice Friday night meal and a dance.
I’m pretty sure you’re all about the present and about moving forward-or maybe I’m just projecting my own inclinations onto you-but as the world climate grows more uncertain, I find my mind often escaping to inhabit a warm safe place from the ‘70s … yes, Cold War and all, at least during my childhood we felt certain our grandparents had beaten back fascism for good, and that the hard-right in general were now permanently on the back foot; kindness and reason and fellow-feeling would win out, science and peace would bring middle class prosperity to all the world … people even dared to imagine humanity’s worst problem might be a life without adversity getting kinda boring! Well, we sure sidestepped THAT problem, didn’t we!??
So anywho, I think your early-to-late adolescence coincided with the first decades of that global sense of a new world being just around the corner … that sense that we were all building it, and could build it as we liked. In hindsight, it seems my childhood spanned the last decade so far in which that feeling was the dominant paradigm. I guess I’d like to hear more about the earlier decades of that paradigm, when perhaps progress felt inevitable and not like a losing uphill fistfight. I mean, after your country’s been bombed half to pieces by the far-right, and then you DECISIVELY WIN A GLOBAL WAR against the bastards, it’s got to feel like tearoom dances and seaside weekends are in everyone’s future, no?
Wow. So that really got away from me, didn’t it? Um, lol, yeah … where was I? “Inductive Resonance” would be great, if you would! Much love to you and yours, and wishes for your health and safety.
Hello Mr. Fripp and thank you for sharing your art, thoughts and technique with us, it's delightful!
I wonder if you could tell us about two guitar solos you did, I found them so perfect, brilliant and unique.
One is on “Exiles” (studio version) and the second on “Evening Star”.
Any memories of you about those moments would be a joy to hear.
Thanks again!
With all my admiration.
I just found out this channel. Well, being a huge fan of Fripp since I was 15 ( now I'm 49), I can say that having him teaching guitar lessons on YT to me it's like watching Mozart teaching piano lessons. I still can't believe what I see
The utilisation of the pinkie is awesome
Thank you so much for sharing, Robert ~ abundant cheers & likewise to Toyah
Thank you Mr Fripp for your 50 plus years of Music and inspiration. Way back in 2003, my then Prog band THE FIELDS OF HENRY, played RED and LARKS TONGUES IN ASPIC frequently in our set list. We would always ask the audience to try and dance to this one….needless to say only the drunk or insane people would.
Hello Mr Fripp: I am French and one of your admirers. Know that on the global Internet your elegance and diction make you a perfect Ambassador of your country.
I guess I know what I’ll be practicing….FOREVER! Big love to you and Toyah. First time I’ve heard anyone mention Heldon other than a few friends. Stay weird and thanks for providing a lifetime of inspiration.
An exquisite piece.
Anyone who has watched this video has just witnessed the genius that is Robert Fripp as he played the impossible . . . Fracture. I have to wonder how this would sound on piano. I wonder if Robert would contact Massimo Bucci, a classically trained pianist who has his own TH-cam channel, to see if he would take a stab at it. He's done an incredible job with both ELP and Genesis tunes.
Another wonderful vblog thanks for sharing Robert 👍 xx
As an obsessive book collector I am intrigued by your obviously extensive collection. Perhaps you could give us a tour of your library sometime.
agree fully! the thing that strikes me of what can be seen of it is how seemingly staid/classical the accumulation seems to be & i wonder how familiar he might be with so-called avantgarde literature, as best exampled in England by, say, Bob Cobbing & Dom Sylvester Houédard (who were both responsible for the amazing magazine focussing exclusively on sound poetry, KROKLOK - the ony such periodical anywhere/anytime, so far as i'm aware). it seems that most folks who're relentlessly inventive/investigative in their own genres rarely are so in their appreciations elsewise (avantgarde writer prefers landscape paintings & Broadway show tunes; avantgarde painter prefers the blues & gothic horror; avantgarde composer prefers sonnets & hyperreal drawings of cats) & one can't help but wonder what's in those tomes. we know he's familiar with Tom Phillips (cover of "Starless And Bible Black" - which includes an outtake from his "A Humument" project, which, despite its relentlessly investigative approach, is still firmly grounded in straightforwardly linear narrative structures, falling more into the category of "illuminated text" than "visual poetry") but HOW familiar & does the (presumed) interest extend beyond Phillips (who is, after all, far more "accessible" (in all ways) than the likes of Cobbing, Houédard & their cronies)?
how'bout it, Robert? what's on those shelves?
I have followed you for three decades. I love your work with Brian Eno. Thank you for sharing these videos.
Finally i found my fav youtubber
When I first heard In the Court of the Crimson King back in whatever I blew several brain gaskets. I replaced them over time but I have never been the same. Thank you Mr Fripp.
Electirc Segovia! Glad to find you online sir. Coming by way of unexpected, and explored love of Philip Glass, Eno. Heard or read great short incident of your work with Trevor Horn, you submitting some "wild" sounding guitar part for a mix, which Mr. Horn found to be musically perfect for the song/production at hand. Thank you sir.
Another wonderful vid. Getting my guitar out.
What a treat to see you play this close up. Such discipline. Never will I forget seeing Crimson in the fourth row at a concert for the first time. I didn't even know who they were, my friend said, you know who Bill Bruford is from Yes, he is in the band. i was blown away by the performance and the music, and remember that it seemed like Fripp was staring at me the whole time, he has that effect. Crimson was the opening band for the Kinks, imagine that dichotomy, during the Starless era.
Phew, alright fear 🤣 I've always said an album collaboration with allan holdsworth would have been mind blowing
yep dead right I feel the same way about tuning and freeing of the fingers like it cheers Robert
Hi Robert. I recall hearing Fracture for the first time around 1979. I loved it, but just assumed it was built from numerous meticulous studio overdubs. It was only many years later when I purchased The Great Deceiver set that I realised it was a live recording. 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you very very much Mr. Fripp!
Mr. Fripp, getting to watch you up close and personal, as it were, playing Fracture is such a privilege.
This man blows the doors off anybody!🥳🤘
"is good to be the king!"
Amazing performance of Fracture
Was so cool to hear "my brother Richard Pinhas from Heldon" by mr Fripp
Shine on Robert
Hello Robert,
We met upstairs at The Palace in Hollywood 1984? (Bill, Tony, Adrian) as you sipped your wine..., and on The Charles Bridge in Prague September 2016 day before Karlin Hall while I was engaged with a chat with Jakko. I have used tuning forks (my knee disapproves!), Peterson strobes, Boss pedal tuners, software tuners like Guitar Tuna & one for cellos. I rely a lot on my ears as well. THE most Amazing Tuner/Frequency Analyzer I have ever had the Pleasure of using was at a pal's studio & I brought my new Deluxe Godin Oud w/Impulse responses, etc-a beast to tune. The tuner is called Snail by Ircam. It is THE most Accurate & wonderful tuner & it even made tuning the oud...Easy! It is a Miracle-its own "Uni Verse"!!!
I will see you in City Winery in NYC-coming from Los Angeles to hear you talk about The Muse! I know you practice with discipline and diligence. When I pick up one of my guitars, I usually compose something or discover new tunings -a la Joni-or chords! I am open to your Wisdom...Sir!
Ira
It seems easy when you play it, but I almost broke my finger trying. 🤣🤣🤣
I have always wondered how much of the almost tightrope like nature for the performer of this middle section of Fracture contributes to the overall extreme sensation of tension produced in the crescendo over a few minutes in a performance of Fracture. Would the music be as effective played as an arrangement by a few players playing easier parts without that danger? Also was the extreme simple guitar part in the building section of Starless a reaction to Fracture, just to go as stripped back as possible? But above all thanks to Robert for showing these amazing insights.. just super appreciated.
