This one was truly a labor of love. I worked on it for over three months, and I give it to you freely & with an open heart. It my intention to show utmost respect to this music, to introduce it to new ears, and to hopefully give a deeper understanding to familiar ears. This tutorial is indexed for those that wish to skip around or ahead. I hope that you enjoy it, and that in some small way it helps to further the King Crimson experience. I have included instruction on the way Ian McDonald wrote it so that one could see how Robert Fripp refined it, and also because I think that it is a good arrangement if you are going to play & sing this song unaccompanied.

Here's An Uncle Tony's Tutorial of how to play “The Court Of The Crimson King” written by Ian McDonald & Peter Sinfield, as recorded by Robert Fripp & King Crimson on their 1969 masterpiece “In The Court Of The Crimson King”. ~ Special Note: I was made to remove the full-song play-through, as my original lesson was “Blocked" for “Copyright Claim”. ~ This one was truly a labor of love, and I worked on it for over three months. It my intension to show utmost respect to this music, to introduce it to new ears, and to hopefully give a deeper understanding to familiar ears. This tutorial is indexed for those that wish to skip around or ahead. I hope that you enjoy it, and that in some small way it helps to further the King Crimson experience. ~ Remember: you should strive to have almost no tension in your wrists and hands when you are playing, keeping the rhythm is more important than playing the "right" notes, and down / up picking is the key to the universe! Have fun! 😎🤘🍔🍟🎸
