Dude, you have out-freaked all the King Crimson freaks in the world with this guitar analysis! (Fripp excepted.) Congrats. (I think.) If I were Fripp I would want to shake your hand!
Probably not the best song to learn as a relative beginner, but I just like the song so much I can’t help but try to brute force it. Thanks bunches for this tutorial!
You’re most welcome! Pick one section, and work on it a little at a time. You’ll get it! I’d say start with the way Ian McDonald wrote it. There’s a great feeling of achievement when you learn a piece of music that’s just slightly beyond your grasp at first. 😊
Hey, kids! I am very proud to announce the release of two new albums: “Tony Cultreri ~ On Betrayal”. Pure instrumental music, straight from my heart. A guitar-driven, intense, and emotional journey. And “Tony Cultreri & Brian Lynch ~ These Different Machines (Deluxe Edition)”. Essential songs, powerful lyrics, and passionate playing. The Great Ride's starting now! Visit tonycultreri.bandcamp.com for high-def digital downloads. They're also available to download on iTunes, and all other usual locations. Now streaming everywhere finer records and tapes are streamed. Your support is needed and very much appreciated! ❤🎸🤘😎 ~ Tutorial Notes: I was made to remove the full-song play-through, as my original lesson was “Blocked" for “Copyright Claim”. ~ I wanted to mention that Maestro Fripp plays the F# in the verses on the 7th fret of the B string, not on the 11th fret of the G string as I show. This is to let the B harmonic ring out. However, my hands are a bit too small to make that stretch comfortably & reliably, so I simply used an alternate fingering. ~ This one was truly a labor of love. I worked on it for over three months, and I give it to you freely & with an open heart. It my intention to show utmost respect to this music, to introduce it to new ears, and to hopefully give a deeper understanding to familiar ears. This tutorial is indexed for those that wish to skip around or ahead. I hope that you enjoy it, and that in some small way it helps to further the King Crimson experience. ~ Trivia time: the mellotron used on this album was later sold to Tony Banks, and is the very same instrument that appears on classic Genesis albums from Nursery Cryme on. ~ Subscribe if you’d like, and please remember to “like” this video, as that helps it show up in search results. Thank you, and enjoy! 🎸
Thank you toni your methodical breakdown is even more important than your prestine immaculate practicals. If i had you in my country you d have been my tutor all along
Hi Tony Your videos are the most accurate and detailed I’ve seen on UA-cam. You need to do a lot more. Anyway thanks for all the ones you have done. JC
Tony, you are a master at unlocking that masterful piece. I think Mr Fripp would fully endorse this as the best lesson yet on one great piece of music! hats off to all those members of King Crimson! I’ll used the word Epic to describe this song!!🙏🏼
Please play Dr Diamond! I was 17 when I learned The Great Deceiver on guitar. Asked my drummer friend to learn it. Next day he said, "it's impossible. What kinda drugs was bill on?" We had larks tongue pt2 to play though. Power to the Wetton years baby!
Can you do a tutorial on Epitaph? I find your tutorial very useful, it actually explains a lot throughout the composition of the music, and I begin to learn to play this song, I know it’s not easy for beginner, but I am still trying.
Keep trying and you’ll get there! So glad you liked the tutorial. Perhaps one day I will consider “Epitaph”. It takes a long, long time to prepare these tutorials accurately, and I am also working two jobs besides music. :)
Thank you for this great nifty tutorial of one of my most beloved song! Relly appriciate effort and result! =) Would like to hear full playthrough of song. For sure, it would be a gorgeous performance!
You/re welcome, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, I was made to remove the full-song play-through, as my original lesson was “Blocked" for “Copyright Claim”.
Glad you like my tutorial(s). My guitar is a hand made D’Agostino. It was made by Pat D’Agostino in 1978/9. He had just left the Gibson Custom Shop and went out on his own. Legend has it that he made 5 of them: one for me, one for Ace Frehley, one for Peter Frampton, and two are unknown. (The ones he made by hand have no serial numbers.) It’s basically a double cutaway Les Paul made from one solid piece of wood. It’s heavy as hell, like wearing a Prius around your neck, and not a very good choice for the spinal cord of a dude my age, though it sounds & plays amazing and will sustain until I ask it to stop. He quickly sold the company to an Italian maker who made a few that were meh at best, and then they in turn sold it to a Korean maker who made absolute garbage, before they folded. Those are the ones you can sometimes find around. : )
Great ! I am going to start learning the Ian Mc Donald version, which is easier for singing. Btw this Guild D-55 sounds fabulous ! I think i can get a very similar tone out of my JF-55 Guild !

I`Like "Fragile" by Yes..
Nice guitar - looks like an F50RNT?
It is a 1993 USA Guild D-55. I recently traded it in for a Martin HD28.
Very thorough, what is that electric guitar you are playing please?
