King Crimson -- Frame by Frame



This is the 7/8 guitar part that Belew plays during the singing:

----------------!----------------!--      ----------------!---------------!
----------2-----!----------2-----!--      ----------2-----!---------2-----!
--2---4-----4---!--2---4-----4---!- etc...--2---4-----4---!--2---4----4---!
----4---4-----4-!----4---4-----4-!--      ----3---3-----3-!----3---3----3-!
----------------!----------------!----    ----------------!---------------!
----------------!----------------!-       ----------------!---------------!


----------------!----------------!----------------!
----------2-----!----------2-----!----------5-----!
--2---4-----4---!--2---4-----4---!--5---7-----7---!  repeat the same pattern
----2---2-----2-!----2---2-----2-!----7---7-----7-!  at the 5th fret.
----------------!----------------!----------------!
----------------!----------------!----------------!

The fripp line on top of the belew 7/8 is basically the same riff in
alternating bars of 6 and 7, but KEEPING THE SAME 8th note value. 
This produces the funky intervals you hear... and you thought it
was a delay! (I know *I* did first time I heard it... 8-)).

------------------|---------------|
------------2-----|----------2----|
--2---4-------4---|--2---4--------|
----2---2-------2-|----2---2---2--|
------------------|---------------|  etc. over the 7/8 above...
------------------|---------------|


The chording during fripps' wacked out picking in the intro and 
between verses seems to be a barred 9th chord, dropping the 
unison on the G string to the major 7th, ie

--2-----2--2----|
--2-----2--2----|
--4-----3--4----|
--4-----4--4----|
--2-----2--2----|
--2-----2--2----|

with appropriate whammy bar antics for the first chord, then up to a
Dsus2 (5th & 7th fretts) then again another 3rd.  

Oh yeah, when the 13/8 and 7/8 fall back together, they play for
about 3 bars both in 7 *then* drop the bass note as noted above.

Some one is yet to figure out the "wacked out fripp part".

This was originally posted by Sven .
Excellent work on the 13/8 part, but I found a small error in the
second change of the 7/8 part: Instead of the second note in each 
measure moving down another half step, the first note moves down a 
half step.  I've also made some headway into the "Wacked out Fripp part."

Some one is yet to figure out the "wacked out fripp part".

However, it's based on the following:

------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
-----5-7-5-------5-7-5-------5-7-5--------------
-5-8-------8-5-8-------8-5-8-------8------------  etc
------------------------------------------------

Which modulates up to the 7th fret, then 10th, then 11th. The rhythm
is strange, I can't pin down if it's sextuplets, 6 against 4, or what.
It seems like he adds some notes sometimes to make things fit in.

Well, I have figured out the so called "whacked out Fripp part", but it
might not match the original tab as far as keys go. But this is the part.

Pattern 1 A major

E----------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------
G--------3-------------------------------------------
D----2-4---4-2---------------------------------------
A--4-------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------

Pattern 2 C major
 
E----------------------------------------------------
B--------0-------------------------------------------
G----0-2---2-----------------------------------------
D--2---------0---------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
 
 
Pattern 3 F major
 
E----------------------------------------------------
B------1-3-1-----------------------------------------
G--0-3-------3---------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------

Pattern 4 G# major?
 
E----------------------------------------------------
B--2-4-2-0---0---------------------------------------
G----------1-----------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
 
All the notes are straight 16th notes at 157 quarters a minute. So if you
can go fast enough, this will sound right. If not, it won't sound like
anything.
 
The patterns last 1 1/2 beats, so it's hard to say how many times to
repeat them. So when I say "bars", I mean just how many times you repeat
it in that amount of measures and you will end up in the middle of the
pattern when it's time to change. If you need more reference, email me at
sdauben@nc.rr.com and I'll send you the sheet music I wrote out for the
whole song too.
 
 
So the song goes on pattern 1 for 32 bars, then pattern two for 8 bars,
pattern three for 2 bars, and pattern four also takes two bars before
Fripp and Belew go into the 7-6-7 over 7 pattern.
 
There you go, the infamous "whacked out Fripp part".
