Although Fripp and King Crimson will forever be known for pioneering the prog-rock movement with 1969’s In the Court of the Crimson King, his innovation on guitar technology and craft is staggering. His collaborations with Brian Eno, David Bowie, and Andy Summers are highlights of a solo career nearing 50 years. John Bohlinger went to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium to get the details from Biff Blumfumgagnge, Fripp’s main road tech since 2005. Blumfumgagnge demoed Fripp’s gear and explained the engineering behind the alchemy.

I would pay serious money to someone if they would digitally remove that rag from this video.
"Those guys that did the M3000" – that would be me 🙂
How boring. Bring back 3 chord punk for gods sake. I have never heard Scottie Moore's name mentioned in the same sentence with Robert Fripp.
I'm watching this and wondering what a good video would be to see this rig in action. The Seven Headed Beast line up doing Indiscipline from five years back comes to mind as the image quality is excellent (2160p 4K) and we can clearly see the same stack and the iPad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpZxwe4SXY8
Thank you . ( 2024 / July / 11 )
Was he literally not allowed to touch the fretboard?
No fripp
What is in 4:30 that gives you the synth???
It musn't touch the strings with the filthy hands!
A GR-1???????..COOL‼️
Robert is a quite low profile genious.
I had no idea Robert Fripp was a rock legend. Ive been watching his short format videos for years and just thought he was a guitar enthusiast and mostly crazy retiree just enjoying life. Woops.
@1:02 "I'm with B__f____B_um_um____ge"
I'm sorry…you're with WHO?!?!
My favorite thing about Fripp is that he’s just so down-to-earth and relatable. Gotta be one of the most agreeable, laid back guys in prog!
That towel is completely ridiculous
Why the cloth? Does he use some kind of spray on the strings?
I’ll say that the “roadie” is a quite accomplished musician in his own right. He is a local
legend of the balkan folk rock scene in Madison but also a versatile player and producer. Master at violin and plays electric mandolin as well.
Biff! i miss you!
Fripp doesn't like roadie sweat on his Fernandes
If it wasn’t clear that Robert Fripp is a snobby dbag, this rig rundown makes it clear. “No human skin other than my own may touch my strings!”
