King Crimson : 21st Century Schizoid Man transcription by Dennis Montgomery
[emailprotected]
I used 3 versions of Schizoid Man to transcribe this:
1) Studio : _In the Court of the Crimson King_
2) Live : Providence disc from the amazing new _Great Deceiver_ boxed set
(also the same version originally released on _USA_)
3) Live : My *Alltime Favourite* version from _Earthbound_
NOTES: 1) Standard bar chords unless otherwise noted
2) This transcription isn't rigidly Beginning -> End. I'll write it by
section then assume knowledge of repeating parts...
First the chords:
The main chordal riff in 4/4:
1 2 3 4|1 2 3 4
Vocal Section Chord from hell:
Interpretations of this chord are legendary, this one sounded best to me:
x
8
8
10
10
8
Cat's foot etc...
Exit main chordal riff:
Unison run section 1 (rhythm sorta notated by the 1-2-3-4)
Unison run section 2 (rhythm sorta notated by the 1-2-3-4)
...And speaking of hell, here are the inhumanly fast parts...
The order for the inhumanly fast section:
Fast1, Fast2, Fast3, Fast1, Stop&Go, Mute1, Mute1, Fast3, Fast1, Stop&Go
Then back into the unison runs, vox, and opening chords. By the time the song
ends you should have either achieved enlightenment or neurotic breakdown :)
One thing's for sure, if you make it all the way through, you're well on
your way to becoming a 21st Century Schizoid Man...Have fun!
