"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: (E minor Arpeggio) 1 2 3 4 ---------------------------------| ---------------------------------| -4---------------4---------------| repeated 8 times then -------7---5---------7---5-------| ---7-----7---7-----7---7---7---7-| -----7---------7-------------7---| distorted chords during "A" verse vocals: 1 2 3 4 -0---0-----------------------|
