RED - King Crimson Cover

"Avant-Garde" prog-rock tune by the band "King Crimson" from back in 1974.

Hint:
(BEST VIEWED WITH VOLUME TURNED WAY UP!)

Ever since I saw those kids over at the "Paul Green School of Rock Music" (PGSORM) cover this with guest Adrian Belew, I knew I had to cover it too. It's easy to play, since it involves two-string chords and bends, as well as the slowest guitar solo the world has ever known!

The band "King Crimson" never really hit it big, but their music has stood the test of time, and they have remained popular with fans and critics. The album "Red" reached #66 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. In 2001, the magazine "Q" named it as one of the "50 Heaviest Albums of All Time". Personnel on this album include Robert Fripp (guitars), John Wetton (bass) and Bill Bruford (drums).

Grrr... My home stereo cut-out twice during this take. The balance potentiometer is worn out. Sorry about that!

UPDATE: By popular demand, I have posted a lesson video for this tune:

Hope you enjoy it!
Peace.
