Topic: Fav Prog Guitarist based on PA Top 100 albums? Posted: November 08 2013 at 10:10
Being a guitarist myself (which means nothing....just stating for the record) Robert Fripp has provided me with the most interesting, challenging, inspirational and diverse playing.
Of course, trying to learn any of his material is complicated by the fact that Robert does not play in standard tuning, so, I rarely attempt to figure out any of it....I just listen and enjoy it.

Pretty much unarguably, Fripp has played more diverse electric guitar material than any of the other guitarists.
His acoustic guitar playing......not much...is there?? Anybody have a list of the songs that Fripp has played acoustic guitar on?? I can think of "Fallen Angel" from Red.

I've come to appreciate John McLaughlin over the past few years. More than simply fast, incredibly so, his work is diverse and his playing is quite intricate. He is equally adept at acoustic as he is with electric and has played in a lot of different styles. In other words, no one trick pony - he is highly versatile.

off the top of my head, there are definitely more
Thanks. For some reason I can't recall hardly any Fripp acoustic guitar playing.

It's usually covered up by a ton of mellotron, flute, etc

Agree. I'm listening to his acoustic arrangement of "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" right now.

Yes, precisely.
Fripp doesn't have a "Mood for the Day" or "Horizons", or, you know, a signature acoustic piece. I wish he would release an all acoustic album.
