CFan What have you done lately? “Shit - goddamn - get off your ass and jam!” even if it’s an Ovation guitar pulled out of a dumpster, or tin cans and a drumstick. The big coffee cans are great - you can alter the pitch by where you strike it, or by using your thumb to add tension. The side ridges are good for raking with a drumstick.

I love their music but the comments are great. Most Fripp fans make fun of RF and his over-the-top and often hyperbolic display of emotion when he performs live.

Rumour has it that once Fripp is finished with teaching a new "League of Crafty Guitarists", he eats the best performer in the class in order to absorb their guitar prowess.

I believe this was Fripp’s big experiment with his rhythmic concepts and the New Standard Tuning he has devised.

Agreed, for example: Thrak. Anyway, most of their repertorie was composed by the students, in this video Darts and Calliope are Fripp's authorship, but i think overall, if you listen to the live albums, 80% or 90% of the repertorie was made by students.

It's not ability that gets success, it's the ability to write good music or improvise good solos when you're In a band. Cak is cak, even if brilliantly played.

If the only reason you have a guitar is to get laid, there are probably easier props to carry around. Maybe you just need to change your wallpaper, or listen to a different radio station. Or get a motorcycle, or a boat!

The way they glance at each other with knowing rhythmic eroticism and a wry smile is magical. "Ooh Yau!"

The run that Fripp does at 8:50 is outstanding.

Robert Fripp. A very talented man. Very lucky too, having played with Bowie on one of his best albums and he gets to see Toyah coming out of the shower every morning.

What a bunch of nerds. Love em.

I saw Robert Fripp and the League of Crafty Guitarists in 1990. Odd vibe. Beginning of the performance was an uncomfortably long silence, meditation I guess. Then they proceeded to noodle on and on, just like they do in this video. I was dysphoric for weeks after. Kind of looks like they were taken hostage and made a forced confession video.

Under Fripp's system, properly doing nothing is a necessary precedent to doing something properly. It's about enhancing performance and proper body ergonomics through heightened self-awareness. It draws very heavily upon the Alexander Technique.

@@GwaliaMusic So I suppose these people were there against their will? No, my friend. This is Guitar CRAFT. It's an exercise in developing the CRAFT of playing the guitar. To be an inspired musician, it helps to develop your craft to the point where your hands can literally take you anywhere inspiration can possibly take you. Hence all of GC's emphasis on body mechanics and efficient movement. This is a level of craft that can be achieved by those who aren't stoned off their arses like The Beatles. I get it, there's more to music than the craft, but Guitar Craft exists primarily for this reason. It enabled many of these folks to be able to go off and do some really wicked stuff on their own. Trey Gunn is a good example. Some of his solo stuff is just savage and beautiful.

Asperger's Shredding needs to establish itself again

Wow, this takes me back. I was at one of the Boston shows at the Paradise he mentions at around 6:30 i think? And yes indeed, there was someone onstage at every show he called the "Practitioner of Silence". I think they picked a different member each show to 'practice silence". He'd get his guitar ready before each song, with the pick all poised and ready to go, and then not play a note. I even remember him checking his tuning between songs with the rest of them! :) I also recall Fripp did his usual Q&A session with the audience and someone asked about his "New Standard Tuning" (CGDAED) and he wouldn't say what it was, but he did play each open string and said "Those with ears will hear" hahahahaha

I had a chance to see Fripp and L.O.C.G. perform in Madison WI 1990. It was Absolutely Amazing. This is so cool being able to stumble onto this again. If Insanity itself could be converted into music and weaponized, this would definitely be it! Imagine an army of guitarists being able to use chord and melody structures to hypnotize and mesmerize any audience at will. The riffs and melodies are so original and out of the box, that it goes beyond what the human mind can even conceive.

The requirements to be in this band is to have a perfect credit score, you drink milk before going to bed and incidentally carry your own plectrum.

A guitar orchestra. Sounds mystic. Does sound highly innovative. This is vintage Robert Fripp.One of the most fascinating guitarists around today.
