Is this the ultimate ambient experience? Or just “the best way to make a lot of noise with one guitar?” baere's a distinct possibility that more people know Robert Fripp for his sustained guitar intro on David Bowie's Heroes’ single than for any of his other diverse projects During a 30 year carer, he's played with the various incamations of his own band, King Crimson, plus side projecs like The League Of Gentlemen and The League OF Crafty Guitarists, 2s well as making guest appearances with Talking Heads, Peter Gabrie, Blondie, Brian Eno and Daryl Hall, amongst others. And then there's his own Guitar Craft workshops. You coull probably interview Fripp three or four times without covering the same ground twice ‘Over the past few months, there has been a great deal of activity from Fripp’ record label, Discipline Global Mobile. Archive Crimson. like The Night Warch (a live concert recorded in 1973 at the ‘Amsterdam Concertgebouw andthe source of this month's Crimson transcription) has found its way into record shops, as has Absent Lovers, alive reconling of the ensemble's early 80s incarnation. Videos of the Crims in action also abound. And fragmented line-ups ‘of Crimson have released recordings in the guise of Projekts One to Four ~ improvising rock ensembles with Fripp’s guitar as Iynch pin, Clearly, in the court of King Crimson, activity once more abounds But there is one side of Fripp’ playing that has never been Fully ‘explored. Back in the 70s, he would occasionally give imprompty performances In small, iregular venues. With @ guitar, « battery of effects and two Revox tape recorders, he conjured mesmerising, symphonic textures whic he gave the nickname Frippertronies With the advent of new digital effects technology and advances in ultar synthesis, Frpperionies has evolved into its current form, dubbed ‘Soundscapes: This was the area we decided to explore when St paid a visit to Rober’s Wiltshire HO. We were interested in the philosophy behind these stunning textural improvisations; the ‘wy?’ and the how?" of the situation, For a star, you'e far more likely to see Fripp creating Soundscapes in Cathedrals than you are the concer hall “I find the concert tradition not appropriate for the music T want play at the moment. The idea that therein the audience you sit # and look up; there's a separation. Soundscapes is looking for 8 iif AN ACT OF MUSIC “you DONT NEED EXPLAN- ATIONS IF YOU'RE _ USING YOUR rare ROBERT FRIPP DR connection, even 2 communion between the audience and the music. Isa lot easier if people don't have to buy tickets. IF the act (of music is the musi, the act of music in a ‘commercial context is undermined and compromised to an alarming degree. So, playing in Salisbury Cathedral, where people come in and are invited to make a donation ~ the Cathedral needs six million pounds for its spire ~ you have an interesting situation. Money does change hhands, but it’s om the basis ofa voluntary contribution and an appeal to conscience, But i's not a commercial context, and there's no concert tradition in Salisbury Cathedral, though concerts are given there, Freed up in ths way, in the performance of music, everything can change.” ‘But what, then, isthe philosophy of Soundscapes? Way does Fripp do what Ire does the way he does? “The general answer I give, often to ceamest and well-educated interviewers looking very serious with their books of Nietzsche behind them on the bookshelf, i that i's the best way [know to make a lot cof noise with one guitar. If we go back to when Frippertronics began with Brian Eno ~ T think it was September 1972.1 went round to Brian Eno's home carrying my guitar and pedal board, which was interesting, because it was a social visit. He asked if I would like ‘to plug in and there were two Revoxes set up. He didn't explain what happened, but he dida’t have co ~ musicians hit a note, listen to what's going on and - January 1989 | guitar technlawes | 13, SAN i) then respond accordingly. You don't need explanations if you're using your car, Back in 1967, I had acquited Burns fuzz unit, The sound of the guitar then was, for me, prety limited. Marshall stacks and Les Pauls were only just beginning to appear and so you could begin to Bet, at the end oF 1968, fully savage guitar sounds that were meaty But the guitar was stl so limited. What | immediately heard in the droning and beeping, coming from Eno's Revoxes was comparable to string quartet in terms of prolongation through time, which a ‘guitar didn’t normally have. So there was this wonderful 18 minutes of sustained texture and, on the second pass, the opportunity to slo lover it. In 40 minutes there was side one of No Pussyfiating - done. genius or 57 "We did a short tour of Spain, France and England in May 1975, In the first venue in France we were booed off: When the booing reached « volume equal (0 that of the PA, we looked at each other, nodided and left the stage. Good idcas ate often really good ideas 20 to 25 years ater. At the time, iF t's very news, it tends to create a radical division between the audience — half say “yes, the other half no. Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring isan obvious example. (When Stravinsky's ballet, The Rite Of Spring, was fist performed in the Theatre des Champs-Fivsées on the 25th May 1913, it caused a riot. Today the piece is considered a classic - al The first performance of Fripp and Eno in Madrid, we had nc idea what would happen. We walked on, we played, we walked off Five minutes before we went on, we sid to each other, ‘What shall \we play?" AL the end, when the looping was continuing andl we lef we went up into the balcony of the theatre to listen to It gradually die away over a 20 or 30 minute period.

The mental process of thinking, This i repeating every 60 seconds and this one is repeating every 12 seconds and this other one is repeating every 18 seconés..” There actually comes a point whete I cant follow the detail. You keep a broad. view of what's going on, but when that becomes too complex, you simply respond. repeat offender So you might go in there thinking you know what's going to happen, but the point comes where you can't hold onto it rationally = you have to let go and get in Twas listening to Soundscapes for a couple of projects the other night and I thougit, How do I approach this?” It ean be very frustrating if you approach it with the questions ‘What are we listening for?

It assumes a ‘measure of goodwill and commitment from the audience to make it possible. So i's Detter, from the standpoint of a working ‘musician, that your audience don't pay any ‘money to see this, so that they don't feel sgypped if they don't get thee jollies or if they don't get cher expectations met or if they don't see flying fingers, I's beter, too, ifs not performed in a place associated ‘withthe performance of music, So your expectations are, once again, side-stepped. it's like a painting.” Fripp concludes cenlgmatically. “You look at paintings which technically can't move but sometimes they do, Soundscapes seem fo exist and move through time, whereas a piece of sculpture sits or stands there, But if you get Involved in a certain way, the painting or the sculpture moves." at Ho hum, another dy. ‘nother Soundscape, pedal power et the tage Is st formore Soundseping Mtn ve the nase of art Fight the path for Flys gular sna encrprates 3 ble range of day uit and| ‘other eects > January 1999 | guitar techniques | 15 ‘renee pae on "Mato Pepto! fom race’ 2.invatieion 5.

If yu listen to the 1986 album The League Of Crafty Guitarists, you'l hear 4 group of players who learned a whole new approach to the guitar under Fripp’s guidance, starting with a non-standard tuning and taking an unusually philosophical route to mastery ofthe Instrument. This month’ seletion comes from the Starless And Bible Black ot Night Watch albums, and the excerpt we're looking at starts at 2:49 into the track ‘Fracture. Robert gave us permission to use the relevant chunk of the Driginal track on the SCD lesson, in addition to sening inthe original seore forthe piece (wich I've modified slightly ~ notably in bar 82 ~ and Fingered as authentically as possible), So I'd like to thank him for saving me @ lot of work! Derformance notes Apart from the jagged-sounding rakes in bar 82, ds plece fs solid 16th notes all the way! You won't want fo launch straight Into tis sort of thing at 126 bpm (dhe speed ofthe original), so the CD lesson features a half-speed rendition hich (hopefully) will encourage readers to start off at a sensible tempo. First, you should check that the position of your picking hand allows clean and efficent string-crossing, because you'll be doing an abnormal amount of it I's also important fo develop a fingering that feels comfortable and allows a smooth transition beeween each section - otherwise things will go pear-shaped when you increase the metronome setting! Suggested LJH positions are given above the staves in Roman numerals. You'l noice that ve marked some of the notes with accents, in ‘some sections (eg the one starting at bar 18) these notes constitute a sort of melody, withthe ‘n= between’ notes acting as harmonic fille- material In other sections (such as the star) they are marked more because they're good notes to target ‘when trying to attain 2 consistent rhythmic fel (Ifyou play huge chunks of 16th notes without singling a few out as target notes, you may well set lost, or find that your timing has drifted) Perhaps the single most frightening aspect of Moto Perpetuo’ isthe sheer quantity of the notes! However, on closer inspection it's revealed that there is some repetition in the strcture, and certan bars or patterns of bars recur up and down the fretboard. Compare bar 1 with bars 5, 15,46, 50, #3, 87 and 97 ~ the same motif in seven different places. The other thing which you might find disturbing is the fluctuating time signature. IPit helps, you might like to count the 5/4 section beginning at bar 18 as follows: (ONE ard two AND hres AND four AND ve AND to get a feel for the ‘contour’ of each bar, The section beginning at bar 55 looks even halter, bt you can look at the hythm as a 4-bar repeating pattern, consisting of 6/4, 5/4, 4/4, ‘and 6/8 for one bar each. In these odd-time sections, youl probably find it easier to hold down the ‘fille notes with your third and fourth Fingers, letting your other to handle the melody notes. For Instance, in bar 18, you would probably fret both the G in beat 4 and the Gé in hhent 5 with the second finger.

Its lyrical content doesn't attend the ‘baby done left me’ school, is chord ® arrangement is a fair distance from the usual trend, and yet it sll comes across with all the feel of some of the great blues classics. The version welve constructed is based on how Gar performs the track live, wiich has more guitar in and the overall effect is one ofa blues deluxe presentation, Its got a proper ending instead of a fae, too ~ bet you can hardly wait! When you think about it, Gary Moore has one through some distinct changes in his career in terms of musie style, appearance, sear and everything. It has to be said that he's got itjust about right at every tur, 100, Ifyou don't know what I'm taking about, try listening to one of his recordings with Colosseum I, followed by something from a solo album lke ‘Out In The Fields’ and Here it receives the full-on ¢g¢ treatment! then finish things off with anything from his blues period ~ Still Got The Blues, or the fine version of ‘Jumping At Shadows from the Blues Alive allar. Talk about a well-rounded player it makes you sick! With ‘Parisienne Walkways collaborating with the great Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy. Gary was also a member of Lizzy, of course ‘and produced some memorable recordings there, too. I wonder iPhe’s going for some kind of record? Anyway, there are fewr guitar parts which tum guitarists on more than the into to this track. It's a great litle party piece and a good reason to polish up your bending technique too. In order to get the tone right, you'll ned a guitar with @ toneful humbucker in the bridge and an amp capable of some creamy sustain, Gary used to use 50 watt Marshalls, often topped off with an Tanee Tube Screamer distortion pedal (or latterly a Marshall Guv'nor pedal) with a Les Paul, but Te also seen him play this track with Soldano amps. Basically, we're talking anything witha bit ‘of muscle in the amplification stakes. One of the most interesting features ofthe ‘wack Is how Gary maintains the sustain on that fe find Gary bent E note when the intra erops up again mid tune, So did he use any, shall we say, “artificial” devices? Well, once again the answer les with the man’s phenomenal talent (doh! - ed). I's certainly a trick he ean pull off live, often making that one nate ring for what seems like minutes. We derided to ask the man himself, So how do you do i, then Gary? Gary Moore: "I used to find the spot on stage during the soundeteck where my amp would feed back at that pitch. I's just a matter of being in the Fight place at the eight time.

Spoken like a true blues-rock megasta, Gaz This transcription is based on the way Gary plays the tune live, with extra guitar on the outro and middle sections. There should be no difficulty Jn terms of finding the right notes. The tempo is fainiy moderate and there's only one fast part tnd that’s basically pentatonic in structure. Your main areas of concem are tone and bending control. Remember the golden rule: take it slowly and in short sections at first.

Thirds tend to be useful too, and also feature in the tune. Bar 3 is a legato passage featuring thirds, Practise this carefully, hecause the way I play it might not be what you're used. to = check out the suggested fingerings and positions, The harmonious sounding lick at bar 5 requires careful fingering too. Bar 7 involves a pre-bend in the style of Ray Flacke or Jerry Donahue, so you'll need fairly light gauge strings cor plenty of finger strength! Bar 9 isa form of arpeggio. Play just the notes ofthe chord but in the leapfrogging manner shown, ‘The artifical harmonies at bar 17 are typeal of Mr Atkins, who calls them “alse” harmonics Incidentally, Chet himself was inspired by Lenny Breau, who adopted the classical method of achieving artificial harmonics (plucking with the litde finger, I believel, while Brent Mason learned the technique from Gregg Galbraith, Use the performance method which seems most natural to you, Personally speaking, | place my plectrum ‘between thumb and middle finger while using my E7GH rene Index fingertip to place the node, thus creating the artificial harmonic. In this example the lower note only is not ‘made to sound as per its fretted location, but sounding an octave higher due to the harmonic You touch an octave, or 12 frets further along, that string, while simultancously plucking it, Interestingly, the fingered minor sixth interval will become inverted and consequently sound asa ‘major third. Intervals when inverted assume the ‘opposite quality {major vs minor or augmented vs
