Red by Robert Fripp as heard on the album RED
This is an arrangement of RED. It is arranged here for guitar and bass. On the album there is considerable doubling of various lines to thicken it up.
This gets transposed to positions 1 step up and 1 1/2 steps up.
Fripp also plays at the end of the riff sometimes a sick sounding note which is:
(i) and (ii) s -0---------0------------------- -3/5-------5b(6)--------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- -------------------------------
So the 1st verse is played if we call the main riff E , the transposed riffs of 1 and 1 1/2 steps F and G respectvely and including the sick notes (i) and (ii) we get the sequence...
E E F E (i) G G E (i) then 1st chorus
2nd time through it is....
E E (i) F (ii) E (i) then 2nd chorus
The bass drones these notes as roots for this section playing octaves for accents.
bass s s s s --------------------------!-----------------7/(8)(7)-- --------------------------!---6/(7)(6)---------------- -7--6--7--6--7--6--7--6---!---------------------------- -0------------------------!-0-----------0-0------------
then
for the 1st chorus play these chords (free rhythm)
bass -----!------!-------!------------- -----!------!-------!------------- -2---!-5----!-5-----!--5-4-3--3--- -----!------!-------!------------- note that these are just the position for fingers. the rhythms are up to you. The last bar has that little descending riff to the C which is played for that bar.
Then for the rest of the song these various sections are played oveer again. You can work that out from the recording. You will have to work out the rhythms for the bass and the chords because notating them here would be stupid to even attempt and not worth the time.
I hope this is fairly arrangement is fairly understandable. If anybody has any questions about the piece or any corrections (there are bound to some) feel free to mail me at chuck@cs.unsw.oz.au
