#RobertFripp
A master but an even greater student of the guitar and all of its potential for something new. Robert Fripp is just amazing
What an age of wonders we live in... The once near-mythical, utterly-unapproachable person of Robert Fripp now gives us private guitar lessons on his mind-melting technique, then we are invited to share in his warm homecoming -- truly the world is now small...
I was thinking about that the other day. We have SO much more access to artists now than when I was young. We had well basically . . none, other than going to a concert.
It's mind boggling I can leave a comment on the channel of the genius who played guitar on 'Scary Monsters' and 'Heroes' albums. He won't read it but I can say it.
Viva la Internet 😃
@@joethelion6016lnteresting that you mention "Scary Monsters" just two days ago for my own amusement l figured out the the guitar work, found a drum program and proceeded. The thing that really lost me are the effect setting during the verse. It's different than the reverb soaked solo but there is a treatment there that has me baffled (though no problems with the playing l'm not that effect savy). Any ideas?
@MichaelRoy-hc3lz I'm piano and vocals, guitars and synths are not my strong point though obviously I have a great appreciation for those who can play guitar like Fripp.
Are you talking about the title track as opposed to the whole sublime album?
@@joethelion6016 First of all l like your name's reference to the Bowie song. I was referring to the effects he's using in this video. That singing almost violin-like sustain that sounds like it traveled a thousand miles to get to your ear. I know he uses the Eventide 3500 in his rack but l think what he has on his pedal board holds the formula for his 2024 tone. It would be interesting to know what gear he used back in the 70s when he was working with Eno and Bowie. On the track "Scary Monsters" on the solo it's a simple bit of gain and reverb but when the verse is sung there is an effect l can't put my finger on. It's also in the first "It's No Game" it almost sounds like Belew's elephant noise off "Disipline "
@@MichaelRoy-hc3lz Thanks.
I'm not sure I can help but I think I know the effect you refer to. It features heavily on the Scary Monsters intro. Like a sort of bellowing synth sound.
I like Fripp's sustained screaming guitar effect throughout that album very much, on It's No Game it is brutal but marvellous . He does it on the Heroes album as well.
The discipline album in one lesson
This is beyond incredible. The "Bollocks!" at 4:53 literally made me laugh out loud.
Robert toured record stores many years ago after the release of Exposure and I was one of a small group sitting on the floor taking it all in. He played his guitar with tape loops and it was transcendent. I never understood why a guitar God would want to interact with the common folk, but I will always be grateful.
...some are accessible, i spent some minutes talking to Richie Havens, backstage in Eric's in the mid 70s, he was cool.

Bob is genius guitarist
Bob je genijalac gitare i vodi najbolji bend svih vremena King Crimson.Bob is lead best band of all time K C.
Zadar-Adriatic coast-Croatia.
I saw him on that tour in Houston, Texas. There was a performance and a Q&A, and then for people who really wanted it, he autographed LPs.
I believe he saw the necessity and addressed it.
Mr. Fripp's 'math rock' licks are a true inspiration.
Here comes Discipline
Here comes love
Robert Fripp saved my life. Covid ennui was killing me and then this warm hearted genius started sharing his love of guitar and whacky videos.
Those irritating 'smug couple' videos drove me nuts, but hey we're all different..
@@jeffsimon9594 I don’t love the toyah and Robert stuff
I think warm-hearted is pushing it
Be sure to take all your scheduled vaccines. Don't skip any of the boosters.
Mostly safe & effective!
@@1neAdam12 Your government loves you xx
Wow, this is so cool. Thanks for posting this, Robert. It clearly illustrates the approach he takes to constructing the arpeggiated tunes he's so famous for. Discipline is absolutely the right moniker for the collection of some of the best examples of this music.
So satisfying to see this man, who has been a YUGE influence on my musical life, still prospering. Thank you Robert. I shall not yet hang up my keyboards in the basement. Getting together with my blokes next week, we're reviving "Red". Cheers.
The guitar virtuosity is almost matched by the sartorial splendor … that tie had me transfixed!!
haha me tooo!
My desk chair came with arms and the first time I sat in it with my guitar I knew the arms had to come off. I was a Fripp/Crmison fan going back to the late 70's. Now I'm back into it because of these videos.
Crosby,Stills,Nash,Young and Fripp. A new introduction for Deja Vu ? Magnificent.
Thank you for the words on mistakes, and for the demonstration!
This sounds very much like the final few bars from Discipline (Robert's part). Many thanks for doing this, RF.
Thank you, this is fascinating. If only my executive functioning was up to learning more from this. I shall keep plodding along on my Baritone Uke;)
If "Wallace" from Wallace and Grommet had been a guitarist, he would be Robert Fripp. And I love Wallace and Grommet!
I could watch and listen to Robert playing guitar all day long!
Oh dear how can one not weep of joy?!
Guitar lessons from my personal guitar god - wow - thank you Mr. Fripp!
Master! The world need a new King Crimson album! With the new line up
What new lineup?
Hahaha! "Have i ever mentioned how much i suffer?" I am a fan of KC, frippertronics and his other endeavours, but i just recently realized how much of a comedian he is. He would be perfect in "the league of Gentlemen". Hello Dave!
In fact, he was in The League of Gentlemen. They released one album and did a tour. Both were awesome.
It's a shit business!
I love you as a musician and beyond. These vids and lessons are a blessing 🙏
Everyone really appreciates the videos, Mr. Fripp, road warrior.
these insights into your playing and practicing ideas are just a gold mine of information and inspiration! and that last shot was the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time!
Deeply inspiring and adorable- so so grateful!! Thank you for these videos Robert Fripp!!!
ROBERT IS STILL ONE OF THEE BEST GUITARISTS ON THE PLANET !
Here I am, in a caravan in the south of Spain, writing code for a loop station I'm working on, and up pops Robert in my TH-cam feed with some great ideas for testing with guitar. Thanks Mr Fripp. 😎
At 7:40 that is almost the intro to Deja Vu. David Crosby played it in a non standard tuning, so I copied (for 50 years).
It occurs to me that that I could save an extra guitar by doing it your way. :-))
Love your work .
Brilliant! I believe Robert still uses his Yamaha THR 30 for these. Great sounding little amp to stream audio in “Robert’s lesson”, and practice along on a Sunday eve.
Thanks for this Robert - you've given me something to practise for the next 357 hours.
The picking hand is often woefully neglected.
I taught him all that you know…I WISH! Love Fripp! Excellence and comedy all in one!
The Homecoming! Loved this and the journey, thank you Robert.
I've just discovered your genius and discipline.
If I played ANOTHER 57 years I'm not sure I could keep that going. Very cool.
It is a hopeful feeling to watch a Master improve himself through diligent practice...time this much younger lad to quit being lazy and hoping to sound as good and start practicing more.
Half hour a day, thats all it takes....one of the lessons taught to me when I lived in Memphis, Tn (they are serious about music there). Put that time in, it will add up, even if you are just noodling, playing patterns/riffs....it all counts.
Thanks Robert! I appreciate all the Robert At Home videos. I can't practice at this time as I had to have a Ligament re-attached to my right arm, it's in a brace now.
At this time I'm just having fun experimenting with feedback and effects.
Reminds me of "Discipline".
Both you and your lovely wife look so sweet together. Thank you for your kindness in showing musical syncopation and inspiration.
Really enjoyed that. Thanks.
I love these sorts of exercises. That victorious feeling when they finally enter the muscle memory.
Mk.Gee was recommended to me like it was a brand new sound. As soon as I heard him. Said to myself. Robert Fripp has been doing that for decades.
Keep doing what you want. Especially with Toyah. I love everything about it!!!
Thx!!!
Mr Fripp, you are an inspiration. Thank you.
Love that paganini technique rolling the middle finger.
Легенде долгих лет жизни. Каналу процветания. Спасибо за Ваше творчество👍
My mind is melting.
Amazing playing, great chat and wonderful ending. Glad you made it home safely, Robert. Take care.
Great videos and inspirational playing, Robert - keep it coming!
I can't believe it! This is amazing.. So happy to find this channel. What a gentleman Robert is.
Suffering, is good for the soul, allegedly. Have a safe and speedy journey home Mr Fripp 🖖
On mistakes. Of course we make mistakes. We are imperfect beings in an imperfect world. Perfection is something we can strive for but seldom achieve. However, it should not stop us from trying. These videos are a good reminder of this simple truth.
Thanks for posting, friend. It's very inspiring, and I love your work.
It's so great to see such a great player practising and making mistakes. Not out of Schadenfreude ('Heh heh, I knew he wasn't that good'), but because it lights up the distance between my own level as a player and his, however incredibly long that is, and makes that distance seem at least conceivable, instead of inconceivable.
Great to see you and David in Covington. Be well, Gentlemen.
Reminds me a bit of the introduction of CSNY's "Deja Vu."
What a fascinating approach to guitar work - and to see it explained only makes it more... impressive if that's the word.. . mystical?
The homecoming scene right at the end was very heartwarming :-)
Genial. Precioso como um bom e antigo vinho.
hello Robert, thank you so much for these tutorials and greetings from a fan since 1982 and member of the not very immediate family who was present at the last rehearsal at Tring in 2015 and a bass/Stick player who learned most of 3:20 3:20 my technique from watching the 1984 Japan concert on VHS and putting a mirror next to the TV screen; now, on to my comment: obviously trying to "clean up" a faulty or old position is quite difficult, especially for the right hand. One major aspect that I have not seen covered in these videos so far is that of the posture. I can plainly see that you have excellent posture but the one thing I just noticed today is that you hold the guitar between your legs, having to relocate everything a bit more to the left of the body, which, after three back surgeries is far from ideal for me. I am aware that everyone should take what is good for them and discard other things but discarding aspects will create conflict with the overall concept of learning from your technique; for example, I could hold the guitar a bit higher for a more ergonomic approach but that would create a much narrower angle from the elbow. I will try to come up with a compromise. Any ideas will be more than welcome. Give my best to Toyah who is a charming woman!
Just love that man! 🧡
Robert you GIANT of guitar!!!
So I'm reading Mr Fripp's book, and I don't know if the book itself is making me a better (more disciplined, less lazy, more considerate person), exactly, only that I find myself unexpectedly trying to be that person; perhaps I was just ready to become such a person. But the book is pointing out to me, in a certain way, what it might be like to be that better person. And I'm grateful for that. When you're in a fog, it's useful to have a foghorn.
Jigging in my seat 😀 Lovely man.
As always, it's practice, I need that reminder someday's ( more so these days) welcome home
Keep it up Robert. Love your work.
Thanks for everything.
Happiness is - being at home!
Great lesson Mr Fripp! tY
Saw you in Milwaukee. Great night!
Similar to how i practice, playing various patterns and snippets under metronome, although my favourite exercise is playing covers and improvising, especially along with Cream - Spoonful (live at filmore), endless blues jam.
love these videos dude they help a lot
I used to practice bass guitar during my frequent business travels. My hotel neighbors just loved me 😃
Thank you for the lessons!!!
A few notes, varied, rhythmic. Cool!
Robert.. do you realize you never made anything bigger, better then RED - not the album, but that one single track.. ?
With such a singular, mighty punch ?
Give us those .. uh, fingerlays.. oh no, no need for that... we´ll always appreciate it for what it is, was.
A kick in a stomach, thank you so much for that ;)
Excellent!
I've been studying this exceptional man's work since the early 70s.
The last 5 seconds of the video were my favorite.
No comfy joggers and slippers for Mr Fripp in his leisure time.
Suited up .. nice
I’ve often wondered if the cross-picked index-ring-middle-pinkie section of the brilliant “Fracture” began life as a dexterity exercise….it certainly works brilliantly in this capacity, as well as being a treat for the ears!
Dizzyingly Superb.
Awesome thanks!!
you are the best ever, every note i play and every lick i have you in my mind
Ya still got it kid! Big fan!
Mr Fripp!
You are my god😍😍😍
Thank you for the lessons!
This was awesome!
Splendid!
Jamming along with yer. Thanks Robert.
Marvellous and so diffident
I can play all of this, but my rate of picking is somewhat slower.
About one correct note per minute.
Only thing to really say about this is it's totally badass and amazing 👋👋🔥👋👋🔥🔥🔥💥
I'm very glad you made it home safely and sad the show in Connecticut got canceled day of the show.
Mesmerizing exercice.
How he totally buries the metronome. Inspiring.
A least if you had guitar issues you could have gone across the street to Third Coast Guitar!
Thanks for the lesson and glimpse into the "glamour" that is yours daily.
The final (coming home) was the best part :-)
So nice to see the "ol Sourpuss lighten up. :)
There is no mistake, save one…
Hi Robert, I just subscribed to your TH-cam channel, I was watching a video of a live performance of Starless by King Crimson earlier today, it's a really cool piece of music, been really getting into King Crimson lately, hope you and your family are doing really well, and please keep the videos coming, cheers!!!!
Great
Tanks, Robert
Legend!
