Frame By Frame
The fripp line on top of the belew 7/8 is basically
the same riff in alternating bars of 6 and 7,
but Keeping The Same 8th note value.
This produces the funky intervals you hear...
and you thought it was a delay!
(I know I did first time I heard it... 8-)).
The chording during fripps' wacked out picking in the and
between verses seems to be a barred 9th chord, dropping the
with appropriate whammy bar antics for the first chord,
Oh yeah, when the 13/8 and 7/8 fall back together, they play for
about 3 bars both in 7 then drop the bass note as noted above.
Some one is yet to figure out the "wacked out fripp part".
Which modulates up to the 7th fret, then 10th, then 11th.
The rhythm is strange, I can't pin down if it's sextuplets,
6 against 4, or what.
It seems like he adds some notes sometimes to make things fit in.
