You have four fingers (and a thumb) so when you’re fretting you can basically use all those four fingers to hit the first four notes chromatically on a given string, and the next note up is going to be in general your open string. This is really ergonomic for guitar players. This is basically all fourths tuning with the exception of a third interval between the G and the B. New standard tuning was developed by King Crimson’s Robert Fripp as a means of approximating all fifths tuning. We’re going to talk about one of those today.
Throughout his career, Robert Fripp has made countless innovations that have changed the way the guitar sounds and in a lot of cases changed even the way that the guitar is played. Robert Fripp of King Crimson is definitely one of the latter. But every once in awhile somebody comes along that is not only an amazing player, but also is really, really savvy about guitar gear, and changes a little bit about the way that the guitar sounds or the way that we play the guitar, or is very, very innovative in their own way.
And by the same token, there are a lot of players out there that are some of the best players in the world and yet they don’t know a thing about gear.
Throughout guitar history, there have been a ton of people that have made awesome inventions to the instrument and changed the entire paradigm of how we play the guitar, that themselves have not really played the guitar at all.
