King Crimson Robert Fripp Guitar Picking patterns Lesson

Please watch video above for a detailed analysis:

Hi Guys,

Today we will look at mixing guitar picking patterns in the style of Fripp/KingCrimson

To begin with we will employ “Down Down Up” [Down Up]

Next we will add two extra notes [Down Up] in order to get back to starting on the down stroke again.

We then repeat the riff and finish this time with one note so that we can start the next phrase on an up stroke with strict alternate picking:

We now apply the strict alternate picking starting on the “Up stroke”:

After repeating the above we start the next part with alternate picking starting on a “Down Stroke

We finish this phrase on a down stroke in order to start the next phrase starting on an “Upstroke

Robert Fripp “Tetratonic” Scale and Tritone Guitar Picking

There are 6 “Tetra-tonic” Scales. They all have four notes. Below, is our scale for this blog and video and will be the Tetratonic scale starting on the note B.

Alternate Picking the Scale: Starting on a “Downstroke”

We will make a short Robert Fripp-esque line from this scale and employ “Cross Picking” Guitar Technique.

In order to create a line like this it is a good idea to take “Triplets” and make them into chord pairs.

Here are the Guitar Picking patterns that I used. They are very Fripp-esque as they employ Alternate picking and Crosspicking.

This next Robert Fripp lick employs “Dyads” which are 2 note chords made from this Tetra-tonic scale.

Next, we will use alternate picking and play the “Dyads” in a single note fashion:

Lastly, we will take 2 chords “NOT” from the Tetratonic Scale but a “Tri-tone” apart. These will be B and F.
