"Elephant Talk" from the King Crimson album "Discipline"
Fripp Guitar Part 
Transcribed by Reginald Hunt


This transcription is set in standard tuning. I find it works pretty well.
The arpeggios should be played staccato. 
The "(__)" in the solo is meant to be a tie, indicating in this case 
that the 2nd note is hammered.


After Tony Levin's Stick intro, the Fripp part begins as:
