Robert At Home - March 2023

[@mononoaware1960]

Robert Fripp himself sharing his personal life and giving you guitar lessons for classic Crimson songs via the internet, what a time to be alive. Thank you sir for taking the time to do these. Discovering your music completely changed my views on what music could be.

[@baatkarlo]

I’m starting to practice again, after a long pause. Thank you for the instructions that inspire in a timeless manner.

A rare gift to witness a life so well-lived.

It is an honor to see you Robert fripp, I am so glad that you are well, Thank you for your great musical career that has simply changed my life for the better, your music is simply a reason for advancement for your Server, thank you Robert fripp, thank you King Crimson, 🎩

[@reghunt2487]

Thank you for sharing so much from your life and from your guitar/artistic insights.

[@ronaldchives2486]

I met you in 1981 when your band was called Discipline. I never forgot watching your left hand technique while you were talking to me and advising me to move to London. I never did, but have put out quite a bit of music since then, you have been a good teacher, thank you, keep well, xxx

[@michael1]

Ronald, now you tell me. I've been sitting here for 43 years wondering when you were going to arrive! The dinner is ruined! Why didn't you text and say sometime in the 1990s when mobile phones started to become popular?

[@ronaldchives2486]

@@michael1 Sorry about the dinner🙂

[@arensel84]

Thank you for doing these tutoring videos, Robert. I really do appreciate them and know they will live on for players to discover long into the future.

[@emilyoshiro]

Thank You Robert

[@maureyrca]

Awesome!

[@RocketKirchner]

The thing about Fripp is in all the crazy time with Lovey Toyah and his eccentricities , when it comes down to the guitar he is all business !

[@fierceperedur]

Thank you for sharing your time and methods with us. And the house.

[@gianlucapolitano3228]

Just thinking every notes Mr Fripp plays , even the technical exercises, Is a true musical experience. God bless you Maestro!

[@alas8estrenamos]

Tanks, Robert!!!

[@mikewoolie5153]

Thankyou Robert. I know this will be a good practice combination for me and many others.

[@primateinterfacetechnologi6220]

I have you to thank, Mr. Fripp, for so many elements of my guitar playing... And so I will- Thank you so very much. I rely daily upon things I've learned from your playing, and things you've said over the years. Peace and love to you and yours.

[@kleberveridianogoncalvesde6293]

Thank you!

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

His love for Toya is admirable. Just admirable. We should all love like this. And shred like Fripp does.

[@davidcarlin3850]

Hello from Philadelphia Robert. We love you. !

[@markwinter5326]

Great to see a top player extolling the virtues of practice AND making clear that he makes mistakes…. Ohhh Bollocks ! 😎

[@howardsherwood8834]

Autodidact meets mystic. That blank stare that Mr Fripp adopts when practicing reminds me of the look that dogs have when emptying their bowels, leaving the result for all and sundry to admire!

[@islandsedition]

Now this was a series of educational experiences I was not expecting to receive today.

[@popogast]

What a noble freak. He's got a completly different mindset than other guitarists.

[@Hastur876]

I'd love to watch him in a band playing "Peaches En Regalia" or "Cortez the Killer" just to find out what he would sound playing Frank Zappa or Neil Young.

[@williamgeorgefraser]

Love how Robert remains true to his roots. Bollix is bollix. Greatest arpeggio player of modern times.

[@rayerscarpensael2300]

Lol

[@cv507]

äFterr my stär-€x yä -.-??

[@TrevorDennis100]

I had to smile when he said that.

[@saldada6928]

keep improvising...keep it fun!!

[@princebuster93]

Marriage has been good for you Dear Robert, you are a lovely man, who shows love and kindness to his wife, which is a precious quality in a sinking world, God bless you and Toyah. Jesus Christ loves you both ❤

[@teresathomley3703]

What a delightfully eccentric man.

[@beatlebarb64]

Always teaching us new stuff! thank you!

[@aikijb]

thanX

[@AECJ1]

I hope things are going well for you and yours. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you 🎉

[@zeebollox]

Hey Robert, thanks for saying hello to me at the beginning of your great video, yours sincerely, Zee Bollox

[@MichelGusse]

Thank you Robert , you are a great inspiration for me. I am an old fan from 1969 .Thank you for you generosity, for sharing your strange , original music which brings us to "dangerous curves" but very interesting curves. Thank you, for your funny sketches with your talented beautiful , and funny wife la TOYAH . friendly yours your faithful fan from France Paris. Gusse , not goose

[@jean-marieboucherit4518]

Bravo.Très bien.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Wow, at 54 I have a new role model! Thank you sir, please keep this up :o)

[@markdraskovics1962]

HEY,.. ROBERT Really enjoy your guitar videos Showing us the practice side of how get it right when playing

[@merlin5476]

Also..... what a beautiful house too.

[@modelleg]

Love what you did with the Roches.

[@rmelono]

The structure and flow of this video resembles king crimson music. Well done 👍🏾

[@thedustofages]

This reminds me and brings rememberance of being an 'earnest, bearded young man' at the Greyhound in 1980, standing in front of Bob Fripp with the League of Gentlemen, while his fingers danced and he exhorted us to do likewise, as they were a dance band. 🕺💃

[@Mr.S369]

I still have fond memories of the lecture you gave at Althouse College in London Ontario, Canada, circa 1981.

[@anthonysallis]

Always a pleasure.

[@gustavohernandezgutierrez8812]

MASTER!!

[@johnc2475]

One classy English gentleman styling and profiling. Thanks for the lesson.

[@ouchcubic]

very lovely episode all around. cheers

[@The4over]

Thank you Robert and Toyah for all the fun ❤️

[@slimhanson5792]

Thanks Robert you have improved my playing alot.

[@randlerobbertson8792]

As a lifelong Yes fan, I also happily salute King Crimson for their own massive contribution to popular recorded music. I bet listening to Robert and Steve Howe and Steve Hackett chatting over lunch would be enormously interesting.

[@lukedavey7693]

I feel so much calmer with these openings into the Fripp world

[@Jenjenilou]

Never realised before what a West Country twang Robert has!! I see he was born in Wimborne Minster, Dorset which would explain the accent. You live and learn!

Wonderful show, ı love it.

[@jmtschanz]

The exercice in this video has exciting harmonic variations and could well make for part of a moto perpetuo !

[@MB-uw6eh]

A good British established life is seen along with guitar lessons. Discipline is a philosophy which brings rewards and Robert is the embodiment of that philosophy. A great inspiration and wise counsel to young musicians and his fans and it goes without saying that a man is better for the wife who loves him.

[@gregoryg3256]

🌠 Frippy !!! Good Stuff Man..Lookin Forward 2 Sunday Lunch..(song)

[@HashPipes]

Lovely rehab exercises for a previously broken wrist.

[@davidturner7192]

The five primary forms for practicing: 1. Calisthenics. Strength training in left and right hands and learning how they work together. 2. Fingerboard knowledge. 3. Repertoire. The music you are going to play onstage. 4. Ear training, and finally (many a musician forget this) 5. Play. Have fun. Extemporize. Improvise.

[@perprerp]

The video is edited in a pattern much like the guitar lines, with particular strengths and weaknesses to different video segment combinations. A peek into the inner workings of the mind of Robert Fripp?

[@merrittkwarner8475]

Always so well dressed

[@briteness]

The frippery of the Fripp.

[@neilomac]

Robert Dripp

[@lillone0]

we love so much you Robert, so much you can't imagine

[@shanenichols1052]

Interesting what you say about left hand weakness. This is the bane of drummers too. At 70 i have taken up drumming. I work quite a bit on hand strength. Recently i was delighted to discover the benefits of stick twirling- it’s great for limbering up your hands and arms and building stength. So be a show off in your own practice space and see if this works. Also, I loved your opal cuff links.

[@Foghat1961]

'Slave To The Rhythm' - Thanks Robert... saved me a bit of time tabbing there!

[@docsketchy]

I've struggled with picking technique for, literally, 50 years. However, watching this video at the 7:00 mark, I noticed that Mr. Fripp keeps his wrist pretty rigid and picks more or less from the elbow. Intuitively, this would seem to be difficult to control. However, I tried it a couple of days ago, and just the opposite is true. I would say that my picking technique has improved about 100% just by trying to emulate what I see in this video. I'm cross-picking with ease, finding any string confidently and at will, and picking scales and arpeggios faster and more accurately than ever before. Thank you, Robert Fripp!

[@anthonycardott3541]

man what's Fripp gonna do with all those Slipknot records, ha ha ha! I bet he digs the Gojira one though. Crazy to think you can just type something on yt and a musician you've admired yer whole life might just read it. health and happiness, yall

[@brianhewitson5236]

Hi Robert i can tell your having so much fun when your playing by the smile on your face its your trademark.

[@randallbargar348]

A big cheery hello Mr. Fripp and Toyah

[@Clearanceman2]

I follow Adrian Belew also and wow, is he active. It's amazing, considering the difference in presentation, that these two did so well together in the same band. I suspect it's mostly because Adrian can play with anyone. But I have liked both guitarists for decades.

[@peterdixon7734]

It was claimed, back in the day, that 21st Century Schizoid Man "cleared the dance floor", but it was danced to in the darkness by many a headphones wearer.

[@TheBigMidweek1889]

Still give my crackly old NO PUSSYFOOTING & EVENING STAR albums a spin now and then. They get better with age. EVENSONG still blows me away.

[@jeffsimon9594]

Cameo appearance by Manny from Black Books! Nice.

[@frizzlefry5904]

A rare 70's roadie still going strong ... awesome

Bollocks! Love it.

[@renatoporcu3097]

Dalla nostra generazione ❤️

[@manmars1581]

Been listening these days again after plenty of years first four albums and rediscovered that Robert used so much acoustic guitars on these four. Played incredibly well as usual these guitars sounds amazingly beautiful within a song arrangements. What a pitty that after that period Robert have'nt used them any more .... .

[@Emlizardo]

Maybe not in Crimson, but you might enjoy his records with the League of Crafty Guitarists, all acoustic.

[@manmars1581]

Thanks for you answer, I don't like so much his work in eighties, in League of crafty guitaarist he plays mostly tecnical exercises for guitar of wich I am not entusiast.

[@kendallevans4079]

Every Fripp/King Crimson fan I've ever know had one thing in common...WEED/POT...as in everyday, and I DO NOT mean that as a compliment!

[@yeahwhat]

Nice to see some hair. What is your pick width? Stiffnest?

[@ircreg8639]

The discussion of the new fan for the STAGE is very encouraging! I won't say more :)

[@georgewaters8592]

....am I missing something here, meaning is there a tour in the works that I am unaware of ?? If I have missed out, may I please be forgiven as no I have not crawled out from a rock but I have just put down my newly acquired Obation 1867 and I've been experimenting with the NST but with a twist, having the E tuned at a third, not a fifth and having the G tuned a fifth above the previous string, so the fingering is a little different on the thinist two strings. This I can assure you is temporary, until my proper string set gauges arrive. So, this.... your book Guitar Craft, what a way to begin year 58 on March 18th !! Thank you Robert for providing me the insight to really learn to properly appreciate music both as a listener and performer.

[@robpriest9031]

When Robert says bollocks, 99% of us would not have noticed a mistake. Love your work Mr Fripp.

[@bradleyĴmarteĺ283]

[@snapfinger1]

A plucked violin attack like no other. The kind of cuff links Sir Thomas Beecham would wear.

[@johnbarnas879]

Bob, hold on - it will start warming up soon.

[@candymintz]

riffingly fab

He seems to have developed a sense of humour in his old age - took him long enough

[@martinsimpson5883]

Great guy ,he always makes me laugh 😂
