Technically, Fripp never played Fracture in the studio but touched it up afterwards. When you think of it, it sounds like Wetton is soloing over Fripp.

Even though Fracture is his best, Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is astonshingly undermentioned. When I first heard it, I knew instantly it was Fripp; it tipped Pawn Hearts over the edge into a masterpiece. So many albums can be ruined by limp endings, thanks to Fripp, not this one.

His solo in Starless is the superlative two note guitar solo.

But I must say overall his best guitar pieces lie in Fracture and its counterpart FraKctured. The complexities of those pieces is mind boggling and the level of playing to accomplish pieces like that is unlike anything I've ever heard.


I agree with you on Fracture and Starless. They are fantastic as well... The starless 'solo' is actually more than two notes. He sits on a single note to great effect before moving on to the next and then the next... It sounds like two notes because it utilizes two different strings to produce the same note.

I know that, but since they are the same note just played on two different strings you could call it a two note guitar solo.Wink


The reason it sounds so good is that two strings are used and the tone of the note varies because of subtle bending of the second string. Using one note on one string is nowhere near as interesting.

Precisely.Smile

Of those I've heard, I prefer the astonishing solo in Exiles.


You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

I'm in for The Night Watch as well, although his work on Pawn Hearts leaves listeners speechless and in awe at times Thumbs Up

This has probably been discussed many times before, but I'm still unsure: on which tracks exactly does Fripp play on Pawn Hearts? Also, are there guitar parts on the album that are NOT played by Fripp, but Hammill or someone else?

       Let's not forget his work on The Roches' albums, and The R. F. String Quartet.
