[Malkmusianful]

well damn

robert fripp sounds like he's gotten rid of most of his british accent

@Malkmusianful

There is no such thing as a specific British accent.

I was expecting Robert Fripp PLAYING Careful With That Axe, Eugene. I mean, holy fucking shit my face would melt.

So yeah, I'm a bit disappoint, but still good stuff.

@AxiaAr1 :-)  A few other things to search for here on Youtube are: Tuning the Air (the Seattle GC group), The Whip (a Hernan Nunez piece) and The Airport Exercise by Steve Ball.

@AxiaAr1 Some pieces are, some aren't. As Guitar Craft and the follow-on work have evolved the pieces have tended less and less toward the sorts of polyrhythmic minimalism of the beginning. They never were quite as un-ornamented as Reich, though. If you're new to this stuff search out the piece Bicycling to Afghanistan. I've been working for 2 years to be able to play the Lead I part of that piece, and I'm finally getting close.

25th of March... My birthday. Connected to Fripp in so many ways.

The piece at the beginning is Bicycling to Afghanistan by Curt Golden (now of Tuning the Air et al.).

good to have this here on youtube ... (I hope ok with RF) ... too bad you didn't think of correcting the image ratio

[Spyroid77]

@veloopity Well, I couldn't find it for sale anywhere, other than second-hand, so I thought I'd put it up.

Uploading videos is quite new to me, I'll try and do better next time :)

Glad you enjoyed it.
