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.

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.

But this is the part. Pattern 1 A major E---------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------- G--------3------------------------------------------- D----2-4---4-2--------------------------------------- A--4------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- Pattern 2 C major E---------------------------------------------------- B--------0------------------------------------------- G----0-2---2----------------------------------------- D--2---------0--------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- Pattern 3 F major E---------------------------------------------------- B------1-3-1----------------------------------------- G--0-3-------3--------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- Pattern 4 G# major? E---------------------------------------------------- B--2-4-2-0---0--------------------------------------- G----------1----------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------- All the notes are straight 16th notes at 157 quarters a minute. So if you can go fast enough, this will sound right. If not, it won't sound like anything. The patterns last 1 1/2 beats, so it's hard to say how many times to repeat them. So when I say "bars", I mean just how many times you repeat it in that amount of measures and you will end up in the middle of the pattern when it's time to change. If you need more reference, email me at sdauben@nc.rr.com and I'll send you the sheet music I wrote out for the whole song too. So the song goes on pattern 1 for 32 bars, then pattern two for 8 bars, pattern three for 2 bars, and pattern four also takes two bars before Fripp and Belew go into the 7-6-7 over 7 pattern. There you go, the infamous "whacked out Fripp part".
