Robert At Home - Episode 18

[@egx161]

Totally enjoying these videos. Especially the guitar work. 👍

[@SirKeefyKeef]

You are not a celebrity Robert, you are a legend of guitar virtuosity. Love and peace to you and yours. 🙏😊

[@kentborges5114]

Kent here to Keith...TOTALLY AGREE ! I saw him with K.C. and the double line-up...i.e. Adian Belew, etc. AMAZING !

[@michaelboyce]

That riff makes me nostalgic for The League of Gentlemen

[@robqasar624]

humility and genius....hand in hand........i'm a lifelong fan

[@SportingDrivesinColorado]

Mr. Fripp, thank you for inviting us into your home and, a free guitar and music lesson from Robert Fripp! Most generous. As a great fand and player of progressive rock, the best music since rock began has practically been underground music. Radio has always hated us. It makes it damned difficult to learn of bands and albums to look for. But, It does keep coming back! Doesn't it? Thank goodness Prog rockers are in fact into the music, not the fad and excitement of the radio and a a dance with a cute girl. Who the hell needs to dance, cute girl or not?! :D It's all about the music, isn't it? Thank you again!

I saw you and King Crimson in São Paulo, Brazil, on October 5, 2019. I went from the north of Brazil (Amazon) to São Paulo, to see King Crimson play. I was close to the stage, before the second part of the show. I've been your fan and a King Crimson fan since 1982. My name is Marco Rosario

[@julianslavin3896]

Woah

[@danielphillips8416]

Thank you for the videos Mr Fripp. Laudable fundraising for those in need.

[@soccerjazz2022]

From 12:10 till 12:28 I again hear remarkable wise words from dear Mr. Fripp. So glad I found 'Robert at Home at 60+ in this fading year 2022. Long live the future with my guitars and longer live Mr. Robert Fripp and his 'little lovely wife' Toyah! 🎄 Merry Christmas days to you 🤗

[@kleberveridianogoncalvesde6293]

Thank you for the lessons and your wisdom and your music! God bless you! 🙏

[@paulauksztulewicz4803]

Pure Sunday evening enjoyment! Thank you Robert! Your philanthropy is appreciated!

[@GentleGiant1969]

In the annals of doppieness close to inspired, that’s fabulous!! 🙏❤️😂🤣🙏❤️

[@findJLF]

Wonderful insights and some suitable cryptic (at the end). You always give me much to ponder, Robert. I always welcome your 'At Home' videos, as they cover such diverse territory without ever being trivial.

[@richardarnold4271]

I've been a fan since 71 or 72 I forget which of you Robert and King Crimson I grew up in the sticks in Oklahoma I found you guys in record store never reading about you or the band but even then I I knew in my heart of hearts that celebrity was not appealed to, not trying to build myself up but I was right Thank you and K.C. for the Decades of amazing music.Happy Christmas.⚘

[@expandingknowledge8269]

All the years of watching Mr. Fripp in videos, saying not a word. All of a sudden he unleashes all those pent up thoughts. God love ya Robert!

[@SportingDrivesinColorado]

Most eloquent!

[@karlboman]

What a ferocious riff! Beastly!

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

He's the biological father of heavy metal, it's to be expected! 😎

[@FuzzyTheBear]

To serve music. How true. Words of a professional.

[@ogmiosseaculum1-tradiciona528]

[@rapparoo]

I know where the picks are but rather glad getting a callous on right thumb rather than blood blister ! Love these vids and will get unlazy when unbamboozled fret map !

[@peterbustin2683]

Merry Christmas and thank you, Robert, for all youve given to us via that ultimate cerebral Ley Line - Music. P.S. See you at the O2 Shepherds Bush October 21st 2023.

[@gregp485]

I'm a Canadian and have seen King Crimson 9 times, and Robert by himself several more. You are THE KING!!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for the years of your gift of music and the most mesmerizing riffs EVER!

[@gregoryarruda5198]

Happy Christmas to you and "the little wife" ! Thanks for the wonderful music. I enjoy you with The League of Crafty Guitarists in Fall River Massechusetts. I touched your hand and cried : " I haved touched the hand of the master".You have earned that station .

[@jameswubbolt7787]

Great incite, thanks Robert.

[@timboggs2509]

I have been a fan of King Crimson for over 50 years.I have always admired your guitar playing and as a musician.

[@andrewwilliams9599]

"This one is for Bill.I don't kow which Bill, but I'm sure it's the right Bill." LMAO

[@fishy4071]

Well worth seeing the documentary. I traveled from London to Hastings to catch it. It is a rich insight into how King Crimson is what it is and goes a long way to explaining why Robert Fripp has to be who he is to give us the experience that has been King Crimson for the past 50 years. Absolutely inspiring. I was buzzing afterwards. Toby Amies was at the showing in Hastings and it could be said he might still be subjective the the experience, almost as if he doesn't yet realize what a valuable job he has done for us all.He was inside the asylum on behalf of us. Lovely chap and thank you to him. Great piece of work and I will be buying the big boxed set to watch it over again. Thank you to all the musicians who have created teh chemistry of this great body of work.

[@wowwhywow]

Hey Robert. We've met once. It was before a G3 concert in Venice, Italy (stra)at a Villa that contained a shrubbery maze. I said to you the Italian version of "Break a leg" right before you went on stage..."in bocca lupo"and I explained it to you as well... Remeber?...lol. Anyways, just wanted to say, you were a very nice guy, and by no means gave me the impression of being mean to your fans. I have in fact, met many famous musicians, including Zappa, and NONE of them are anything less than humble and in gratitude to their fans when they speak to them.

[@giancarlocoustenitzoff1640]

Thank you so much for everything you share, which never ceases to inspire and fuel our artistic drive. I've personally enjoyed this Robert at home series very much! I've met Pat, Tony and Adrian when they came to Uruguay in Latin america with their respective Trios, and now thanks to this set of Robert at home videos I feel like I have gotten to know you better 😊 . I've even been practising with your vids, which have helped me keep the motivation through tough times and reconnected with my guitars which i hadnt' played for months (ages for me). My 15 year old band has been going through a rough patch and that's been hell for me. I often remind myself of what King Crimson has gone through, and all the work and different lineups that have kept the King rocking have been a very powerful source of hope and inspiration to hang on and continue doing what I love the most, regardless of the ''weather'' or circumstances, because there`s no greater source of nourishment for an artist than creating. So now Im finishing up the overdubbs and final editing of our music in my recently reborn homestudio. Hope I can send you guys a link to our music on the web when it's done. Happy holidays for you and your loved ones !!

[@davidcarlin3850]

Merry Xmas Robert. Bless you and long life. Devoted fan here from Philadelphia

[@mononoaware1960]

Speaking of acoustic, I would love some insight into your acoustic work on In the Wake of Poseidon title track or Cirkus from Lizard! That’s some pretty amazingly angular playing for sure! All I can figure out is that it’s E Harmonic Minor lol.

[@gts2ludovicofratts404]

I have been listening to you and your amazing musical works since 1970. Now I'm 61 and still listening and finding new joys and/or reliving them each time i listen. This video actually made me love you even more, the human as well as the musician . Wisdom.... truths... humour... realism of how it is. This is teaching that is beyond mysical bounds. Thank you again and again. Until next episode. 🤗✌🙏

[@SkeeterMcBeater]

Cool beans!

[@andresgregoriofrias4224]

Gracias maestro

[@davidbeverly6411]

Thank you, Fripp.

[@alas8estrenamos]

Tanks, Robert

[@jameschavez6400]

The exhale you did was so delicious thank you sir may I have another💋🥰❤️

[@rooannaroo446]

Love the riffing and the presence and precision… Keep Shining.

[@ronaldchives2486]

Merry Christmas Robert 🙂

[@smoovegittar]

Exactly, Robert. When Music begins, we support. Feeling over thinking for myself, at the particular moment.

[@guitarandgraves]

Wow your front yard sure looks a lot different than your back yard!

[@davidmachemer1015]

"Things are not as they seem, and neither are they otherwise" ha! Reminds me of an outtake at the end of a King crimson EP where Robert says "We move forward by coming from" and everyone laughs including Robert. 🤣

[@gregmccourt4730]

That's a fabulous riff! Sounds like Mr. Fripp has been inspired by covering Metallica, known as downpicking demons. Dimebag used upstrokes to good affect in his playing. Within the scope of your right hand technique, in which the right hand floats above the strings, how do you approach the right hand techniques of palm muting and pinch harmonics?

[@nathanielhieb9271]

Robert, can you please show us how to play "Erudite Eyes"?

[@80paura16ciao]

Robert...the One...👍😎

[@pingvin1771]

HOW NICE

[@TorahofAwakening]

I love you Mr. Fripp ❤

[@nickm8134]

For some reason, this particular video reminded me of when I saw you at Liverpool University in 1971. I remember there were two white back-to-back Mellotrons - we had not heard nor seen anything like this before (the whole band, not just the Mellotrons), and we were amazed. I guess it was just before Islands was released. Thanks, Robert, for sharing so much music and guitar knowledge, it is so valuable and appreciated. Nick.

[@danopticon]

“Things are not as they seem, and neither are they otherwise…” Okay, I try hard not to be an overbearing fan, but now I can’t help but love you! 🤗❤️🎶

[@seancurtin5131]

Merry Christmas. No idea where the unkindness comments stem from. I've personally never seen anything but a desire to want to share music with the world when it comes to the great Robert Fripp. Perhaps it is the type of fans that walk up and demand autographs etc. What such people need to learn is manners. Besides, look at all the wonderful options Mr Fripp now makes available if that's what your after. (Many many thanks for all your fantastic reaching out Robert, it's been greatly appreciated by this fan for one.). MERRY Christmas !!!!!!

[@heliofaros1344]

Dear Crimson King, to your last sentence: I hope your health is not going to be different than it seems.

[@candymintz]

Greetings Robert, have you ever played or owned a Travis Bean guitar? T606 aluminum neck, Koa body with sustain for days...I used to own one when I lived in Great Britain. I like your channel, very down to earth, plus I saw King Crimson perform in 1985 (i think) and I have most of your albums in fact I played Islands last night through my Tannoy GRFs, fabulous...... Were any of your early recordings ever released on factory reel to reel tape, 4 track - 7 inch reel?

[@doctorp4237]

How many cleaners to you employ, and how many hours a week to they work to prevent all your artifacts from becoming dusty?

Which KC lp should I use the seconds of songs from the tracklist in order to win the lottery? Any guess ?

[@troykurz9615]

Good day Mr. Fripp, Have you ever written a biography? If not, it would be a great read.

[@danielobuenosaires]

Genio

[@MsZappas]

Mr Fripp, can we see your G303 guitars in a future video please? I think I see it in the background there but I could be wrong.

[@art-of-techno]

When you have talent like Robert Fripp, and you don't know how to conrol your ego, (not as easy at one could think) you could fall into the trap of wanting more and more fame and getting it, hence feeding more and more your ego and making you addicted . The problem is that history has shown us over and over again that fame and fortune can be very toxic for your mental health. The ego has become so inflated that now you've become arrogant and condescending, you might live more and more to yourself inside your little bubble and you become disconnected from the simple humble things in life. There are many examples of world leaders or celebrities that end up psychopathic or become tortured souls like Marilyn Monroe or Kurt Cobain. This never happened to Robert Fripp because he focused a lot on his art of experimentation. he didn't need to feed his ego by searching popularity. David Bowie also had this mindset; if his experimental work became mainstream and succesful, great but if not too bad... It is best to focus on your art without searching too much approval from your audience or critics, otherwise you could sacrifice your creativity for the need to endlessly feed your ego... Be like Bowie, Eno or Fripp, remain true to yourselves and to your art as much as possible,

[@markusbak4047]

Dear Robert, when you talk about effortless effort, to me that sounds like the chinese term wuwei. Would you agree with that?

[@danopticon]

Is the riff played in this video a riff from a published song, or is it a riff particular to this video?

[@dikbozo]

As a response to your comment on 'dopery', I will be purchasing the Movie box set. I must like seeing you be mean to me.

[@redline2115]

Bad rehearsal sometimes equals a good show!

[@gregoryg3256]

🌠

[@andrzejd.1585]

Robert in my opinion at 6.00 you play 4/4 and not 7/4? Thanks for your next episode, im big fan of Kc and you

[@Cr8Tron]

I got confused during this part as well. 🤔

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

A celebrity is simply someone who is celebrated, and everyone wants to be appreciated for what he has done that he thinks has value. Unless you specifically restrict your audiences and actually prohibit all but certain specified persons from attending-you are performing before the public. The act of making music is in and of itself an attempt to engage with and interact with an audience. Even if you are at home alone, there is still a hypothetical audience. No one who knew absolutely that no one would or could hear him ever would ever make music. A corollary of over-population and mass-production, however, is that certain persons will necessarily be celebrated in absurd disproportion to their actual value and most talented and productive persons will languish in virtual obscurity forever.

[@brucevair-turnbull8082]

I'm not sufficiently in the public eye to be considered a celebrity and yet people impede me at every turn. Where's the glory?

[@gingergeezer3685]

Robert, why focus on the one negative comment, instead of the vast compliments?

[@p4ul1w4uli]

Artists, eh?

[@iamhayes9317]

Bob, you are a great guy. You are starting to look like Mr. Mcgoo!

[@scottulrich2725]

Crafty.

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

Hey Robert! 🤗 A lot of people don't even know that you are the biological father of heavy metal! 😵‍💫 I know, right? 🤯

[@jameschavez6400]

What ,reindeer I always imagined your reindeer as unicorns my❤️&please don’t Nevermind your bollocks!my❤️💋😘

[@jameschavez6400]

I sure the misimterpagion of pompon is just as it was to my Dutch father who like you also had irresistible look onlookers are hurt deep inside how you effortlessly revive passionate feelings instantly and get blinding rage that they do not,And I couldn’t even imagine the cruelty that you would do even if I beter you topunih me out of desire of your so cute face😘♥️🥰

[@MOUBARRET]

[@darrenyoung1641]
