He's one of the most technically proficient of all prog rock guitarists, and his guitar parts would take several lifetimes to fully comprehend. Dare you enter the court of the Crimson King, Robert Fripp?

Robert Fripp of King Crimson takes a solo during the prog band's 1984 performance at the Poplar Creek Music Theater in Hoffman Estate, Illinois.

Robert Fripp was born in Dorset, England in 1946. His 50-plus years of work with King Crimson is full of mind-bending and finger-twisting guitar parts that would take several lifetimes to fully comprehend.

So we will focus on the ’80s era which featured Fripp alongside Adrian Belew on guitar and vocals. Tracks like Frame By Frame, Discipline, and Three Of A Perfect Pair feature a unique guitar style focused on odd, poly-metric riffs, melodies and motifs played with relentless alternate picking.
