“Frame by Frame” from the King Crimson album “Discipline”
Fripp Guitar Part (essentials)
Transcribed by Reginald Hunt
The song begins with Fripp playing a rapid 1/16-note riff repeated many times:
————-|
————-|
————-| then after 32 measures of 4/4 he shifts up to
—–4-6-4—|
-4-7——-7-|
————-|
—————|
—————|
—————| after 16 measures of 4/4 he shifts up to
——7-9-7—-|
-7-10——-10-|
—————|
————-| ————-|
————-| ————-|
—–5-7-5—| for 2 measures of 4/4 then —–6-8-6—| for 2 measures of 4/4.
-5-8——-8-| -6-9——-9-|
————-| ————-|
————-| ————-|
The next pattern (F# minor) is:
—————| —————|————-|
———2—–| ———2—–|———2—|
-2—4—–4—| for 2 times then -2—4—–4—|-2—4—–4-| for 7 times
—4—4—–4-| (if this is the 3rd —4—4—–4-|—4—4—–| then
—————| go round, make it 6 times) —————|————-|
—————| —————|————-|
—————|
———2—–|
-2—4—–4—| again for 5 times then
—4—4—–4-| (if this is the 3rd
—————| go round, jump to +++Coda+++ after 5 times)
—————|
—————-|—————-|—————-|—————-|
———4——|———4——|———4——|———4——|
-2—4——4—|-2—4——4—|-1—4——4—|-1—4——4—|
—3—3——3-|—3—3——3-|—3—3——3-|—3—3——3-|
—————-|—————-|—————-|—————-|
—————-|—————-|—————-|—————-|

Note that Fripp plays the above 13/8 pattern against Belew’s 14/8 pattern giving an “echo”
effect that ceases after the 7 repeats.
The next pattern (A minor) is:
—————|
———5—–|
-5—7—–7—| for 8 times then
—7—7—–7-|
—————|
—————|
————8——|
——10———–|
-9—————–|
—10—-10—10—|
—————–0-|
——————-|
—————-|—————-|—————-|—————-|
———5——|———7——|———7——|———7——|
-5—7——7—|-5—7——7—|-4—7——7—|-4—7——7—|
—6—6——6-|—6—6——6-|—6—6——6-|—6—6——6-|
—————-|—————-|—————-|—————-|
—————-|—————-|—————-|—————-|
Now return to the beginning and play it all again (but play the first
rapid pattern only 16 times).

Although I’ve seen Fripp play the last riff this way:
