I love the way he speaks English (I am dutch myself). And I think his appearance is one of a professor. No macho stardom bullshit at all whereas he plays the most adventurous guitar music (sitting on a stool). I think he's great. Thanks for uploading!
I agree with BucksStudent. I could honestly sit and listen to Robert Fripp talk for hours and not once get bored. I'm a drummer myself and became a musician because of him. I did everything that he basically listed about becoming a musician. This is an essential learning video for all aspiring musicians.
Very good advice. I always practise for at least an hour each day (to be honest though, I think that an hour isn't quite enough if you really want to be a good player).
I think Robert Fripp would be an excellent stand-up comedian.

Seems as though his West Country brogue has become more pronounced over the years. He used to sound much more 'BBC'......

I believe we should add; "Serious Musicians", for the unfortunate "fly-by-nighter" could never comprehend the thoughts of such a man.........

Robert Fripp could play an awesome character in Harry Potter

I love this. I could watch him talk all day. I practice two to three hours a day, though Robert once practiced for eight hours.

Geeeeezz!!!
1) Finding the aim
2) Asking for guidance
3) Get out of bed!!
That works for everything no matter what you do!!!

it's the quality of the time spent not the amount that matters. a quality hour is better than 6 half-assed.
