King Crimson -- Frame by Frame

This is the 7/8 guitar part that Belew plays during the singing:

--2---4-----4---!--2---4-----4---!--5---7-----7---! repeat the same pattern

The fripp line on top of the belew 7/8 is basically the same riff in Alternating bars of 6 and 7, but KEEPING THE SAME 8th note value. This produces the funky intervals you hear... and you thought it Was a delay! (I know *I* did first time I heard it... 8-)).

------------------|---------------| etc. over the 7/8 above...

The chording during fripps' wacked out picking in the intro and Between verses seems to be a barred 9th chord, dropping the Unison on the G string to the major 7th, ie

With appropriate whammy bar antics for the first chord, then up to a Dsus2 (5th & 7th fretts) then again another 3rd.

Oh yeah, when the 13/8 and 7/8 fall back together, they play for About 3 bars both in 7 *then* drop the bass note as noted above.

Some one is yet to figure out the "wacked out fripp part".

This was originally posted by Sven <[email protected]>. Excellent work on the 13/8 part, but I found a small error in the Second change of the 7/8 part: Instead of the second note in each Measure moving down another half step, the first note moves down a Half step. I've also made some headway into the "Wacked out Fripp part."

However, it's based on the following:

Which modulates up to the 7th fret, then 10th, then 11th. The rhythm Is strange, I can't pin down if it's sextuplets, 6 against 4, or what. It seems like he adds some notes sometimes to make things fit in.
