"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.

"" = 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#.
