"FraKctured" by King Crimson from "The ConstruKction of Light" For New Standard Tuning (C - G - D - A - E - G) Transcription by Jakub Misak (jmisak@centrum.cz) Thanks to Nic Roozeboom for some corrections Tempo = 138 BPM ********* * * * Intro * * * ********* x = quarter notes A1: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x |------------------------------------------------------------| |6--------8-----6--------10----6--------8-----10-8-----------| |---9--------11----9--------7-----9--------11----------------| |------10-------------10-------------10----------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| A2: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x |---------------------------------------7-----9--------------| |6--------8-----6--------10----6-----------8-----10----------| |---9--------11----9--------7-----9--------------------------| |------10-------------10-------------10----------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| B1: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x |------------------------------------------------------------| |11-------12----11-------9-----11-------12----11-------------| |---11-------13----11-------13----11-------13----10----------| |------14-------------14-------------14----------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| B2: x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |11-------12----11-------9-----11-------12----15----------------------| |---11-------13----11-------13----11-------13----14-------------------| |------14-------------14-------------14-------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| This is the main melody. It should be played in this way: a) Fripp and Belew play parts A1-B2 together, but in circulation: 1st note is played by Belew, Fripp plays the second note etc. b) Belew plays A1 (all notes) while Fripp plays A1 a third (4 frets) higher c) Belew plays A2. Fripp plays A2, again three tones higher - but: He (Fripp) begins an eighth note later, but the last two notes are played together with Belew, so the 15th note is shorter (it's an eighth note): x = eighth notes Fripp x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x |------------------------------------------------------------| |---10----------------12----------10----------------14-------| |---------13----------------15----------13----------------11-| |---------------14----------------------------14-------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| Fripp x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x |---------------------11-------13----------------------------| |---10----------------------12-------14----------------------| |---------13-------------------------------------------------| |---------------14-------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| d) Belew plays B1 while Fripp plays this: Fripp |------------------------------------------------------------| |7--------9-----7--------6-----7--------9-----7--------------| |---7--------9-----7--------9-----7--------9-----6-----------| |------11-------------11-------------11----------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| e) Belew plays B2 and Fripp uses the delay trick again: x = eighth notes Fripp x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x |------------------------------------------------------------| |---7-----------------9-----------7-----------------6--------| |---------7-----------------9-----------7-----------------9--| |---------------11----------------------------11-------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------| Fripp x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---7-----------------9--------11----------------------------------------------| |---------7-----------------9--------10----------------------------------------| |---------------11-------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------------------| f) And finally: Fripp |4-----------------------4-----------------------4--------------------------| |3-----------------------3-----------------------3--------------------------| |---6-----------------------6-----------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| ******************* * * * Moto Perpetuo I * * * ******************* Sixteenth notes 1.
