Someone on Instagram asked if I'd do a little video lesson on how to play “Frame by Frame” by King Crimson. I probably should have practiced beforehand, but who cares.
Hope you enjoy this! Let me know if you'd like to see more of this type of thing.

That red book he's holding is the Necronomicon of Guitar Playing

All of the Discipline album offers chills and thrills. I never tire of listening to Frame by Frame.

It would have really helped if you would have included pictures of the tabs or some kind of fingerings for the verse instead of just kind of explaining it, anyone who doesn't know theory on the guitar is going to be lost trying to follow your explanation

@apex107lrp

No wonder Robert calls his several hours of daily practice his "calisthenics".

@victoonix2802

I like how you also become emotionless to play the fripp part just like fripp himself

@Tyrell_Corp2019

Kudos to anyone tackling either the Fripp or Belew parts. "Robert just goes". lol. With the upcoming new BEAT tour, Steve Vai's adjective "relentless" describing Fripp's guitar work was perfect. The non-stop string jumping and picking is enough to make any guitarist feel like a beginner. Regarding the alignment/phasing part: Levin cracked, "Yeah. What can go wrong." lol. Great video! 🙌

@no7590

Man when those two phasing riffs come together you kind of understand why Robert did it that way. It sounds amazing...

Crazy hard to sustain those Fripp sequencer type patterns. I remember playing it 100s of times back 30 years ago. Big fan and have attended 5 KC shows. Thanks for this man!

@uvarighalvarado8677

Ahhh yes! My favorite King Crimson song, Three of a Perfect Frame.

@Andrew_M_Ward

I saw them in 1981 in Owings Mills MD at a small theater on the Discipline tour... I was 15 and had been playing guitar for about 5 years

@Pegasusrock1

the best lesson i've seen on this. it almost looks playable now. thank you

@mitchellrosen1890

Excellent video and enjoyable presentation! Especially relevant with the upcoming Beat tour.

@theworldaccordingto4555

This vid shows just how focused and rehearsed Fripp is in order to play this piece live. Mind blowing accuracy needed. I can't think of many guitarist who has the stamina and skill to play Robert's part. Even Steve Vai is gonna have his work cut out in order to make any sort of acceptable interpretation of Robert's parts. Jeez, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes.

Ok this was badass. Been trying to hone my picking skills and have always been a "King Crimson'esque" kind of player even though I haven't listened to them religiously. Would love to see more lessons like this of the weird and wacky time signature stuff. Thanks for making this! 🙌🙌

@JulesFox

I've just purchased this transcription - I purchased the set with Thrak... I am looking forward to this arriving :). Well done on a great channel and informative information. I really enjoy your presentation style as well.
