Firepower indeed! Yes!
-
just wanna say-that is the perfect rhythm section! what a groove
-
@boibad12 the double trio was very demanding to listen to-although i loved thrak and vroom at the time, id say it was ultimately a doomed experiment, but kudos to them for trying

@crazysailorman First off, Robert uses a non-standard tuning for his guitar.
He uses what he calls a New Standard Tuning which is (CGDAEG).
The flurries he performs look like hammer ons with a switch to another string for a lower note.
Yes, it looks and sounds fantastic, but i reckon it is within reach of a moderate player with a bit of hammer on practice!
This is in no way to diminish the skill of Robert. He's exceptional.

Saw Robert Fripp with Peter Gabral in 1975 at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor Michigan. I was 16yrs. old Peter had just brought out his first solo album after leaving Genisis. It was a great show!

i don't know much about the rhythm/drumming stuff - i know mastelotto is more of a rock drummer...all these progressive guys, like bruford etc, seem to either go back to rock or move to jazz exclusively...
-
@jcfbell3001 I just don't think he really contributed anything at all, just my opinion. I stated it quite harshly tho some reason lol
-
how so?
-
@gormarx hey thanks, with my brain damage it is hard to comprehend exactly what he is doing, but my 'mind' sure can feel it - if I could pretend to be a musician one day I would pretend to be Robert Fripp......he seems to use a highly compressed overdrive - more Frippertronics

about Fripp's flourish of notes at 4:25 or so - are they 64ths or 128th notes, and again at 5:38. Can anyone define what he is doing? Pure genius I suppose - mere mortals simply cannot understand how.

From my experience as a mere mortal who likes to shred now and then:
you don't play runs like that thinking of 32th or 64th or whatever, you play it more like the way you listen to it: a burst of energy.
