"Fracture" from the King Crimson album "Starless and Bible Black"
Transcription by Reginald Hunt
This peice is long, complex, and technically challenging.
Take it one section at a time. Take a riff that seems an essential idea,
practice it slowly, then work it faster & faster. A metronome is a great help.
"<5>" = play open string harmonic at 5th fret.
"5H6" = play note on 5th fret then hammer on 6th.
"6P5" = play note on 6th fret then pull off to 5th.
"5^6" = play 5th fret then bend up to 6th fret pitch.
"X" = Deadened string.
"/" = Slide up the string, "\" = Slide down the string.
"%" = play previous measure again. If a "2" is above it, repeat previous 2 measures.
This INTRO starts extremely quietly, in 5/4, then fades in. Starts on C#.
