Robert Fripp Rig Rundown

[spiderfeathers]

This looks interesting not only for the fact that he doesn't allow his tech to touch his strings! Never seen that before.

All that modern rackmount (digital) modelling gear: and yet the trusty Roland GR-1 (13-pin) remains--fine with me--I'm a Roland guy myself!

A couple thoughts without watching the whole thing -

Do they ever address the elephant in the room (the guitar tech playing with a towel)?

Glad to see the whole segment is 17 minutes long. I saw they did one on Joe Bonamassa that was over 30 minutes (believe me, i didn't stay past a minute and a half) and i know Fripp has a lot more going on than that guy.

Really cool to see Premier Guitar gained access to this.

Prophylaxis against cooties.

I do like a good Rig Rundown - thanks.

He prefers a drier sound.

He prefers a drier sound.

In addition he's a hoopy frood.

[Gizmotron]

Thanks!

...but it is only part 1. The interesting stuff would be in Part 2. Anyone find it yet?

Premier Guitar answered it in the comments: Biff sweats a lot and cloth is used to keep his perspiration from corroding the strings and greasing up the fretboard/neck.

(It was simply the obvious explanation)

If I didn't know any better I would have guessed this is the long awaited return of Norbert Fragg.

Nah. Fragg's a strag.
