The lead guitar work of Robert Fripp on David Bowie's Scary Monsters album is immaculate. This is my humble attempt to play some of my favorite moments.
Fripp was really inspired when he wrote the guitar part, not just the solo, which is one of my favorite guitar solos of all time. I envy your skill. Just wonderful job you do.
Bizarre guitar part, and I liked both parts 1 & 2 very well. I think "Scary Monsters" is my favorite album from him. Congrats on a gr8 job on a really bizarre and obscure song. This song is especially relevant in this date and time, as it ever more closely resembles our present situation.
Absolutely fantastic! Someone (besides Robert Fripp) finally figured out how to play the lead guitar on this fabulous, crunching, dissonant, disturbed, and brilliant song!
David Bowie is the greatest rock star ever and Robert Fripp is one of the greatest guitarists ever. They made magic when this song was recorded and you damn nailed it. Is it weird if I say I watched this 5-6 times and I still haven’t had enough? Did I mention that you nailed it? Okay, you absolutely nailed it.
Man you make it look so easy and we all know it's not easy at all. Bravo! Fripp brought his best work to Bowie. The soaring solo is out of this world. Standard tuning? And congrats on Fripp's endorsement! Well earned!
Sorry to have always imagined Fripp less relaxed when he played this even if he never loses his British phlegm. Still, it's amazing to see your fingers play this guitar piece! So it's my pleasure of the week! Thank you very much !
This video. I've been listening to the Scary Monsters album for four decades without realizing how insane the guitar work actually was. By your doubling it here I finally heard/saw what was really going on. You unlocked Robert Fripp for me. You, sir, are amazing!
Just brilliant! I love fripp's playing on the scary monsters album and on this track especially. that outro has become one of my favourites of all time.
At the end I immediately start hearing Up the Hill Backwards. My fav track on this sensational album is the title track song. This song is another ripper.
The whole album is outstanding. I love tracks 1 and 10. Hats off, this is a perfect cover of the Robert Fripp guitar on track 1, I've watched and listened to it loads and now subscribed on the strength of this alone. Like you, I immediately hear the next track 😂
Wow. Have bought that album on release. And listened to that cutting edge song repeatedly for years and years, its really great to see somebody actually play that guitar piece straight through. And masterfully. Fantastic.
You are just stunning. Really. I searched how to do that damn thing, as the rest of Scary Monsters other damn things, without reaching them even from far ! Your playing is just beautiful. I'm amazed. Really big thanks.
Thanks for watching, I'm using overdrive from my amp, chorus, short delay and eq. Kick in an extra distortion for the solo. (Hughes&Kettner Amp with Fractal FX8II)
