I likewise have been impressed at the gorgeous guitar lines Fripp
pulls off in "Book Of Saturday," "Night Watch," and the intro to "Starless". Beautiful examples those. I think he's at his rip-
roaring best in the ProjeKcts. A bold, screaming kind of guitar
line (the word "extraterrestrial" would best describe it)
hits you in tunes like "1 ii 2" (P.1) and "Deception Of The
Thrush" (the ProjeKct 2 Live Groove version, duplicated also
on KC's live double-CD Cirkus.) Goldang, that last one is some
twisted and sublime solo!

^Very nice post, BF! Great contributions, thanks! 
I forgot about his work with "The Roches," some excellent stuff by RF, TL and BB!!

The most beautiful solo I've ever heard Fripp play is on "Losing True" from The Roches 1982 album Keep on Doing--though "Upon This Earth," the last song from the second disc of David Sylvian's Gone to Earth would be a close second.
Evening Star, Sheltering Sky, Sartori in Tangiers, Baby's on Fire, Waves, Gone to Earth, are all great. And YES to all the solos on Scary Monsters. Also like
BTW: The pedal steel lap guitar solo at the end of Gabe's "White Shadow" is ALL Sid McGinnis. I revered it, too, and thought it was RF until I saw it performed live. I was TOTALLY shocked when seeing them on tour that year (Fall of 1978--the "bald" tour)--seeing Sid up front and center playing that one on his lap--OWNING it as if it were all his own--and Robert "Dusty Roads" Fripp was on-stage (playing from a stool behind the stacks of speakers). |

Bob is an interesting player... he seems to draw his greatest inspiration from those he plays with, versus playing on his own!
He's rather self-deprecating on his own talent, interestingly.
My own personal favorite is his solo in "Wave" by David Sylvian! If I were to pick a single KC song for "beautiful solo," it would be "Starless."

Definitely not a solo, but the guitar Fripp plays on The Sheltering Sky behind Belew always gives me goosebumps. |
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, to be sure. I like "Requiem" from 'Beat' especially when Belew and the rest join 2 minutes in to the end...

It has to be either "Fracture" or "Starless". Only others that come close are "Schizoid Man" and "Easy Money".

Or even ... Blank Frank!
But if I have a preference it would be the obvious one for me ... "No Pussyfooting" ... and it's continuous work.
Solo's for me, are ... not necessary half the time ... it's almost like telling everyone you have to speed up and get faster and louder, so you can come quicker and the song is over!
I get tired of the 3 minute orgasms and solo's, not to mention, songs!
I'm studying the 1 hour orgasms with Heather Graham!

Starless wins this one handily, but I also give honorable mention to Exiles and The Night Watch.

I like the Book of Saturday, Exiles, and Night Watch as beautiful solos that were already named. Let me add to that Satori in Tangier.

I really enjoy STARLESS. it's so haunting and just flat out one moody f**k of a brilliant solo mid way through the 12min epic. That is my opinion so far. He has so many though. The guy is a freakin genius and one of the very best guitar players/composers on this planet earth. Period.

Robert is always interesting, clever, eclectic, inventive....but beautiful is not one of the adjectives I would readily subscribe to in his case.
