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

Below FREE PDF of King Crimson Fripp guitar lesson :

This Fripp guitar line consists of Tritones and Octaves. For example C to F# and up the octave to the next C note. When played as a group of 4 notes this off sets the predictability of the rhythm by forming “Chord Pairs”.
