This week Robert takes us behind the scenes of a recording session, more practice tips and no BUS DISMAL!!! Visit the OFFICIAL Robert Fripp Merch store! robertfripp.mymerch.studio/
Robert. After listening to you for 50 years (and being a multi-instrumentalist myself) you have now increased both my technical and comedic side of my music with your insights into your life and the ultra fine guitar lessons. Thank you (and Toyah) from the bottom my heart. -- Marc from WorldProg
Those are some socks, Mr. Fripp! Anyone that has followed your antics for any length of time knows that you have a great sense of humor. One of my favorite pieces of evidence for this comes from the "Great Deceiver" box set, where, when addressing the audience, you remarked "We will now proceed to attack culture once again." 😄
What a beautiful guitar passage! It takes me back to his mid 70s album with Eno "Evening Star"., Where as myself and other mere mortal guitarist play the guitar for Mr. Fripp the guitar is the input device that gives him access to the lush soundscapes that he's created inside the magic confines of his sampling and effects rig. I have no idea where to even start to try. If l have missed an episode where he explains his equipment or gives a tutorial would be immensely helpful.
What more could one ask for from a post? Mirth, good cheer, dry wit, shameless commerce, exquisite beauty, and tuition - this has it all! Just delightful - thank you.
It is a gift to see the inner and outer worlds of a man. Inside, we see Robert not only learn a part, but fully explore every permutation - "retrograde" obviously a well practices approach, that I have not yet employed. Wonderful explorations. Then we see the outside world, with all the equipment, his mastery and supporting people and infrastructure. Excellent.
The purity of the electric sound while demonstrating the figures was wonderful but then the added effect was stupendous. You can have both! In the same way, I think, you can have music to accompany you on a cosmic journey but it would also befit a nice two pounds journey on a bus. It can be both!
"Exploring among the stars ... " - if ever there was an apt description of Mr. Fripp's guitar playing, this is it. Ooh! and I'm the 100th "like." Cool.
Thank you for sharing your arpeggios , your Art !!! and your art of FUN , with the great , beautiful TOYAH .Have a nice day. I saw you on stage , and follow you since 1972. I've seen all your concerts in France. Thanks for all , thanks for inviting us to your strange musical universe. Kiss your fernandes sustainer guitar for me.
Not many people understand that Bob is one of the funniest people in rock music. His humor is beyond progressive! Can’t wait to see the solo tour! One can hope! Cheers!🎸
I'm equally impressed with the tie/socks match. Robert was never this fashionable, this could be in your local high street soon! Lady's undergarments' -Fripp Slip Blooper reel- Fripp blip Alcohol-Fripp sip ETC!! Seriously (or not) we love these videos and I think you and Toyah should host a chat show, just featuring musicians and each week a random member of your you tube page? Brilliant as always (you not me!!)
So glad I dropped in Robert that was a joy to watch and with the bonus of actually learning something whilst at the same time remembering back with happiness to the likes of the Virgin Megastore and the quadraphonic dream that me and a pal had and did manage to put into practice once. Thank you.
Mr Fripp your particular touch with left an right fingers, is particularly and original. The unique touch of progressive gutar player, her dissonants and assonants scale, chords. When you LISTEN, you already know who they are KING CRIMSON. Good luck Mr Fripp with estimates, from Italy. 👍🇬🇧🎸
I Believe It was Mr. eno who once said; When B B King plays he can make you cry, but when Fripp plays the whole universe does. Or something like that. Have a nice weekend máster.
HEY, HELLO Robert From The crazy state of Vermont in the USA Yes I've been enjoying this beautiful practices of putting together our own crazy nutty music 🎵🎶 sessions and putting our little fingers together to make lovely sounds that can only be heard in our own crazy nutty mind's but do enjoy this time with you so much Robert please keep them coming so hopefully We will be together again soon take care stay safe and my the God's keep you safe E.A.D.G.E.
AMEN!! IM DYING FOR IT!!!!!! Unfortunately you have to have a theater request it or something like that, shame becaus id rent it in a heartbeat, most of us would I just dont think they care
There was only one screwing in all of California in Sherman Oaks where I got to go, I’m insanely lucky but it’s still absurd that it’s the only one. It’s a fantastic documentary that should be shared to KC fans.
Nice run through of I May Not Have Enough of Me…! I did an NST transcription this summer - looking forward to checking my work. Thanks for another great R@H
Subscribed. Wonderful stuff and thank you for the part described at 6:21. The space is reminiscent of my little rainforest shack in the antipodes but your gear is much sexier!
If I could commission Mr. Fripp one day, I'd ask for a suite of lead guitar solos with no background soundscapes or instrumentation at all. Just that plaintive, infinitely-sustained, flute-like voice, singing alone.
Fantastic, I've always wanted to have a closer look at the music Spaceship control room, what amazing equipment. I've also wondered why the Roland GR-1 is still used over the GR-33 or GR-55 and I can only guess it's due to the sounds in the GR-1 which may not be present in the modern units. I guess midi hexaphonic pickup wise, the tracking is largely in the pickup itself and hence the controller from the GR-1 onwards is more about layout and personal preference. It would be wonderful to know. I've been following the soundscapes since frippertronic tape looping morphed into soundscapes and really enjoy the 'other dimension/other world' music it makes. Thanks for the latest 'Music For quiet moments' box set and this wonderful live performance. Incidentally, I actually enjoyed the non-distorted playing of the E tuning practice piece, however the heavy distortion gives it a completely different beefy quality that's also enjoyable and well 'ROCKS OUT', so why not? Many thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful man. I love seeing sound spaces and yours is probably one of my favorite. Thank you so much for letting us in as well as for the guitar lesson. I was watching this in the shower. I'm out now and will start practicing soon as I dry off.
Per chance if your red in e were married again to the Revox multitrack with tape loops and sustain it would take you beyond the stars ... again. some lovely soulful "ad hock" playing here. plus remarkable tips! The red guitar bits are killing me in the best sense.
I can"t wait to receive my custom .174 string for the F#-1 on my 14 strings monster... No reverse strings, uncrossed 2x7 in all fourths. F*ck the Chapman's tuning...
yay aphorism cards Legend has it that if you dual-wield the RF aphorisms and the Eno/Schmidt oblique strategies, you will be immune from music-industry damage
While I have seen many older jazz guitar players play with closed hand at the picking hand, I say I may only do that when playing acoustic and not even then that often. For electric I use open hand, because I want to be able to play hybrid picking at a whim, always, having it immediatel at my disposal, and dampening the strings I am not using, as well as be immediately availble for tapping select notes on the fretboard. On top of that, I do not play electric guitars that have the volume control too far away from my picking hand pinky. I do want to be abe to adjust volume and tone with my pinky on the guitar, and do volume swells. So a strat is more perfect for me. Also to have the pick flat all of the time limits tonal options. I want to slant it to attack certain notes, strings, pinch harmonics, and do whatnot and whatever with my pick to vary the tone of the note.
- Volume pedal are better. - Damping is done with the left hand - He uses cross-picking technique. - I don't remember him using tapping - If you try to play Fracture on a Strat, you'll end with tendinitis - If you practise 6+ hours a day on a Strat, you'll get tendinitis too
Beautiful soundscape! Serious question: How do you keep your sustainer from going up into harmonics? Mine seems to do it on almost all occasions. ;-) Luv your socks!
“An awful lot of stuff!” I found it too difficult to afford the electronics to be in a prog rock band. I gave up and bought an acoustic and play prog rock alone. Now I’m all acoustic, a room full of guitars renaissance lutes, sitars, harps, ouds, and, something else. “An awful lot of stuff!”
Can you go into detail about the guitar processing? what do the foot pedals do? What is it running through for that muff like fuzz, how do you get so much sustain? is they delay/reverbs from the h9000s?
I'm so happy to be living at the same time as Robert, who future generations will remember with awe.
You need to discover your inner confidence and learn to understand your own worth.
no one will remember anything in a few short years. enjoy your Great Reset
@@TheFissionchips Maybe few months even ;)
Agreed. Hope to meet Robert Fripp in person some day.... before ...the worst day in music history comes.
Well said. 👏👏
These videos are priceless. They're not complete without a good bollocks! Thank you, Robert.

I was feeling terribly out of sorts, Robert simply being Robert has helped me find peace.
As much as I love KC, the soundscapes take me somewhere else. There seem to be 2 Roberts! Thank you both..
Same. KC is by far my favorite band, but the soundscapes are my favorite works by Fripp.
That picking exercise played up to tempo is insane... I would kill for that right-hand ability. A lifelong fan, now in even greater awe...
now go and watch Allan Holdsworth and witness a whole new level of class.
@@TheFissionchips two different styles though so you cant really compare them. I love both of them either way!!!
the way you do it so effortlessly never ceases to strike my awe.
Robert Fripp does social media the right way!!! What an awesome musician... makes me wanna practice guitar!!!!
What a beautiful guitar passage!

Robert Fripp...the small, independent, mobile and intelligent unit.
Perfect lead tone….Inventive playing….awesomeness
Fripp, We want a Crimson studio album!!!
Robert you`re so funny ! it`s a total pleasure to watch your content , thanks man !
Grazie grande Maestro Robert Fripp per la grande musica che tu e King Crimson avete prodotto per noi ! C.F.
Love that painting hanging there ..
Always mesmerising to see such a sharply dressed gentleman creating so much tension with his guitar!
What more could one ask for from a post? Mirth, good cheer, dry wit, shameless commerce, exquisite beauty, and tuition - this has it all! Just delightful - thank you.

Robert please consider doing a concert performing the entire album of "The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp" - thank you.
Love the socks & of course the music! I can’t wait to order my 3 decks of aphorisms. They’ll be a Christmas present to myself 💖
Thank you for sharing your arpeggios , your Art !!! and your art of FUN , with the great , beautiful TOYAH .Have a nice day. I saw you on stage , and follow you since 1972. I've seen all your concerts in France. Thanks for all , thanks for inviting us to your strange musical universe. Kiss your fernandes sustainer guitar for me.
Thanks for this peek into the inner workings of a soundscape. Great melodic sessions too.
Robert Fripp action figures including guitar accessories with action-jamming feature!
Thank you for sharing this, dear Mr. Fripp
Mr. Fripp. Have you ever listened to yourself and realized how mad you really are? Keep it up! I LOVE IT!! Thanks for your work and efforts!
Not many people understand that Bob is one of the funniest people in rock music. His humor is beyond progressive! Can’t wait to see the solo tour! One can hope! Cheers!🎸
Personalised baubles. The ultimate Christmas tree decoration. 🎄
I’m all about Bob having fun.

Lol.. that was the first thing that came across my mind.. that match :)
Please continue to visit various parts of the universe please. Thank You
So fun to get a chance to eaves drop into your world,thanks Robert
Thanks Robert, for the music , your atention and soul .
So glad Mr. Fripp has no problems playing in the light and letting peoples his technique. It wasn't always so.
Thanks for sharing Robert. Take care!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS MR. FRIPP. You and Brian Eno are my favourite musicians of all time!
So glad I dropped in Robert that was a joy to watch and with the bonus of actually learning something whilst at the same time remembering back with happiness to the likes of the Virgin Megastore and the quadraphonic dream that me and a pal had and did manage to put into practice once. Thank you.
Every time I hear an e-bow I think of seeing King Crimson in the early 80's! Absolutely amazing! Peace from Detroit MI.
A simple (Thank You) is all that is required everything else has been written below by other fans.
Mr Fripp your particular touch with left an right fingers, is particularly and original. The unique touch of progressive gutar player, her dissonants and assonants scale, chords. When you LISTEN, you already know who they are KING CRIMSON. Good luck Mr Fripp with estimates, from Italy. 👍🇬🇧🎸
I recall a deck of Eno's Oblique Strategies at Rather Ripped Records in Berkeley!
Thank you so much Robert.
I Believe It was Mr.
eno who once said; When B B King plays he can make you cry, but when Fripp plays the whole universe does. Or something like that. Have a nice weekend máster.
Felt like an hour, was mesmerizing. Thank you Robert.
Brilliant - like having your own private tutor who just so happens to be a guitar god. Thanks Robert
Bollocks, love it! 😂
Thanks for the exploration.
amazing video Mr.!!
HEY, HELLO Robert From The crazy state of Vermont in the USA Yes I've been enjoying this beautiful practices of putting together our own crazy nutty music 🎵🎶 sessions and putting our little fingers together to make lovely

thanks for sharing this as well as your music. the gear pics are very satisfying to the gear nerd in me, and the playing, well, of course.
Bien Robert saludos desde 🇦🇷🌊🇦🇷🌊🇦🇷🌊🇦🇷🌊🇦🇷🌊🇦🇷🌊
I wish they would make the new King Crimson documentary available for streaming😢heard it’s so good
fr… i dont think theyre making it available, you have to request a screening at a theater….. kind of backward if you ask me…..
AMEN!! IM DYING FOR IT!!!!!! Unfortunately you have to have a theater request it or something like that, shame becaus id rent it in a heartbeat, most of us would I just dont think they care
I was looking for this comment! I couldn’t agree more
There was only one screwing in all of California in Sherman Oaks where I got to go, I’m insanely lucky but it’s still absurd that it’s the only one. It’s a fantastic documentary that should be shared to KC fans.
Incredible... Is it new Soundscapes???
Please tell someone
I love that red guitar so much. It brings out a very different Fripp, I think.
I have always loved your soundscapes. It's time to pull my old delay out of retirement!
When I was a much younger man I used to love me some Frippertronics. Still a cool sound.
HI Robert! Love your music ,lots of fun, keep It up!
Sounds very other worldly!! nice!
Fripp forever ❤️
Lessons from The Maestro in my living room: in the 70s, whod've thunk it!
some beautiful soundscapes.
Nice run through of I May Not Have Enough of Me…!
I did an NST transcription this summer - looking forward to checking my work.
Thanks for another great R@H
Thank you Mr. Fripp. I will practice.
So much talent and ability. I'm pretty sure he's from a different planet to me though. Crazy guy.
Oh my Robert. I just wrote a piece that almost sounds like this. And it's...................in B-flat! Lovely!
Robert -The soundscapes are one of the deepest most moving thing in sound-please much more soon????w many solos!!!!!!!!-Best-Harris
I think his soundscapes output has been massive in the last 29 years
@@harounel-poussah6936 yes
I agree but since episode 14 is the best we could use more!!!!!!!
"BAUBLES" - i LoVe iT & I lOvE tHeM !!!
Thanks Robert!!!

Amazing right hand facility is Bob’s secret sauce.
Wonderful to see soundscaping in action. How about a demo from empty loop to orchestral splendor Robert🤞

Thanks for the lesson! I hear a West African rythm in there :)
my head is totally fripped out, yet again

You need some Moog Taurus bass pedals to explore the stars/annoy the neighbours!
Behringer does nice Moog re-eds
6:19 once in a blue moon occurance for Fripp, daily for me ngl
a great player , very original ! only one robert fripp !
