Okay fellow guitar/musician/prog nerds...
Here we have a bit of Vai talking about woodshedding to "do the Fripp part."
This is the tune Vai referred to as having "the beautiful middle part."
Will admit to being intrigued with the Vai-as-Fripp-interpreter aspect...
Here it (the "Discipline era" with "THRAK") is! I'll snag it at some point, probably...🤓

I'm thinking there's a Crimson/Fripp version, as mentioned in this long interview a few times
Of the transcriptions
Yeah, that's the Fripp-sanctioned edition. Transcribed by Gabriel Riccio and tabbed by Trey Gunn who was in Crimson from '94 to '03.

I could only ever listen to this stoned. I love King Crimson, don’t get me wrong. Discipline is my favorite album of theirs. My best friend and I went to see Fripp in San Diego. Excellent evening.
Can tell you with 100% confidence that I got VERY STONED before I saw 'em in St. Pete '95. 👍 😎
@InUnfunky
The idea that there's a Crimson bible with every part transcribed is bit overwhelming...
