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-)). ------------------|---------------| ------------2-----|----------2----| --2---4-------4---|--2---4--------| ----2---2-------2-|----2---2---2--| ------------------|---------------| 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 --2-----2--2----| --2-----2--2----| --4-----3--4----| --4-----4--4----| --2-----2--2----| --2-----2--2----| 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". Date: Tue, 6 Feb 1996 11:39:02 -0500 From: Taylor Sherman Subject: TAB: Frame_by_frame by King Crimson This was originally posted by Sven . 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." -Taylor Sherman King Crimson -- Frame by Frame This is the 7/8 guitar part that Belew plays during the singing: ----------------!----------------!-- ----------------!---------------! ----------2-----!----------2-----!-- ----------2-----!---------2-----! --2---4-----4---!--2---4-----4---!- etc...--2---4-----4---!--2---4----4---! ----4---4-----4-!----4---4-----4-!-- ----3---3-----3-!----3---3----3-! ----------------!----------------!---- ----------------!---------------! ----------------!----------------!- ----------------!---------------! ----------------!----------------!----------------! ----------2-----!----------2-----!----------5-----! --1---4-----4---!--1---4-----4---!--5---7-----7---! repeat the same pattern ----3---3-----3-!----3---3-----3-!----7---7-----7-! at the 5th fret. ----------------!----------------!----------------! ----------------!----------------!----------------!

However, it's based on the following: ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ -----5-7-5-------5-7-5-------5-7-5-------------- -5-8-------8-5-8-------8-5-8-------8------------ etc ------------------------------------------------ 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.
