This file contains the transcribtion of the background guitar part in the middle
of King Crimson´s masterpiece "Fracture" which you can find at the Album "Star-
less and bible black". This guitar part is very hard to listen out because of 
it´s incredible speed and it´s comparable low volume.
Robert Fripp plays this part with an electric guitar and without any effects.
I´ve transcribe this part for a normal guitar tuning (EADGHE) but I think Fripp
used his "own" special tuning (fifth tuning). The basic scale is the HTGT-Scale.

Perhabs I will complete this version with the full guitar tab notation (and all
variations) in a few years...

I´ve transcribed it as an 16/8 bar and all notes have the same length (1/16).
The speed is very high (listen to the original record) !!

Fripp plays this scheme in different pitches starting with the part which I de-
scribed above.
For orientation I call this part by the first tone: g (marked with a ´x´).
He plays that part 2 times before moving to the next part.

Next I give you other positions in which he plays this part. The given tone re-
presents the first tone of the new position (comparable with the marked note ab-
ove).

 D-String; fret 5 (g)
 D-String; fret 7 (a)
 G-String; fret 6 (#c)
 G-String; fret 8 (#d)

You should listen to the original recording (or try to find a midi-file) to
realise it and build in variations.
