LARKS’ TONGUES IN ASPIC PART TWO

King Crimson
Larks’ Tongues in Aspic (1973)
Transcribed by Peter Stevens (YoPete525 AT gmail DOT com)

Tuning: Standard (E-A-D-G-B-E’)

Legend

x – muted string
^ - bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down


This piece has already been thoroughly transcribed by Colin Marston (his work can be
on the Elephant Talk Wiki), and I did use it to help me on a few parts of this – however,
modern technology on my side I’ve been able to clean it up.  Here we go.

*If this is your first time viewing this tab, I suggest you read the notes at the bottom.

Finale
This is, as expected, the part I’m the least sure about.  It seems Robert is using his
strumming “banjo” technique here.  This should sound pretty close:

*Each chord is held and strummed vigorously
|-/22------\17---\14---\10-------|
|-/19------\14---\11---\7--------|
|-/19------\14---\11---\7--------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|

Notes:
•  Space is almost equal to time.  Quicker parts are closer together, slower parts are
apart, but it isn’t perfect – just listen to the song, it’s easier for both of us.

•  Much time was spent deliberating over the aggressive chords... I used my ears and my
and this is what I got.  They’re all *extremely* close, if not dead-on.  (Live footage
used to look at fingerings.  Also, the third chord does sound uncharacteristically 
 Much time and effort was spent on this one, and I am almost 100% positive it is correct
listen very, very closely, watch some videos, and if you don’t like it just use 
else.)

•  Many times the violin modulates above the guitar, while the guitar stays the same.

•  I believe Fripp plays/played this piece on an at least 24-fret guitar.  For those
guitars which don’t reach that high, I’ve transposed the high parts up a string.
