Robert Fripp & The League of Crafty Guitarists style lesson

[CraftyGtrist]

I can see that you have not actually taken the Guitar Craft seminars. It is NOT anything one would have been instructed in during those classes. I know, I was there. This is NOT a Guitar Craft lesson. GC was NOT about "style" of playing or a "Sound". Watching just the way you hold the guitar, I can see you were not there, nor did you get any real GC instruction. You have done Guitar Craft an injustice by misrepresenting your video. Not the way to pay respectful tribute to it.

@CraftyGtrist Ok, but I really don't care at all mate, if a style is not the sound and the composition so there's no music is just posture. I care about the music.

Cheers!

I saw Robert Fripp at Madam Wongs in LA many many years ago when he had two tape decks. He would play a part loop it and play on top then do it again. It was the first of the Frippertronics stuff which this reminds me of.

I'm as big as Fripp fan as anyone, but this "style" is clearly Steve Reich

[Rikk303]

@uninoculated if it had gone on for a fortnight, it might have been Reichy. Thankfully the guy knows how long it takes to drive an audience bonkers....that's why he's currently wowing a captive audience at Guantanamo

[RamiroDelforte]

Thanx! :)



[faunflynn]

This is really really cool.

Kudos.

is this song pre-recorded or do you ableton live? it doesn't look like you are using a loop pedal. let me know your secrets i enjoy looping and playing live (i only have songs pre recorded using cubase tho :/ )

[MichaelEdwardCurtin]

@MichaelEdwardCurtin PM me if possible

[RamiroDelforte]

@MichaelEdwardCurtin Well, actually the info about how I recorded this is on the GMC site. I can tell you that I didn't use a loop station but you could use one to recreate this piece.

Cheers!

[RamiroDelforte]

Thanx man! I'm glad you liked the composition :D

[NosferatuOfWorms]

This is good stuff man. And personally I think Fripp is an absolute necessity when expanding ones repertoire outside of the normal conscious state of guitar playing.

[frasmotic]

You are a very interesting and talented player, but it is obvious from your technique (both right and left hand) that you have not been on a Guitar Craft course. I would suggest you change the title to "Alternate Picking" as what you demonstrate here has little to do with Fripp or Guitar Craft (other than the tuning).

COool Sound

[dagiffy]

Nice. I enjoyed that.

[RamiroDelforte]

@dagiffy Thanx ;)

[douzilles]

Finally someone who has all the Fripp secrets! I need a lesson from you!

[RamiroDelforte]

@douzilles :D

[alainpiniero]

what style?

[SwedishviKingohnoes]

my bad CGDAEG* The high E is not tuned to a b because it would break lol

[SwedishviKingohnoes]

It's tuned in 5ths with a low C for the low E string. CGDAEB

[Zanteeh]

Crafty Guitarist is not a sound, but a technique and a form of connection with music.

Yes, you do sound like the LCG, but the technique you are using differs a lot from theirs. Not judgind yours, though, but just saying that this is not guitar craft.

[Marchant2]

A tinge similar to Sunday All Over the World.

[happychappy333]

Just checkeed the link to gmc site. That's a lot to ask of the b string tuning it that high, will wear protective goggles case it snaps whilst tuning it!

[RamiroDelforte]

Hahaha, well, be sure it can take it :)

Both lessons about Fripp and his Crafty league are made with the same tunning. Is the tunning he uses.

Thanx for the great comments everybody! :D

[happychappy333]

Hey man that was excellent!!!

Was wondering what tuning you were using?

[YesOfCourse90]

Beautiful man nice work....

[geraberl]

Very nice

[RamiroDelforte]

Thanx! :)

[sugarplacebo]

[RamiroDelforte]

It's a lesson composed by me

If you like it you can download the video with the Firefox complement "Download helper"

Thanx by the great comment!

[tony9L9L]

You made my big toe shoot up in my boot

[BucksStudent]

I have a similar video, but yours has opened my eyes a bit to how constructive one can be with one of these.

[GianniRude]
