Robert Fripp.North Star from the album Exposure.
 

 
I think the great Tony Levin plays on all tracks on this album and Daryl Hall is the vocalist on this particular track.

That was nice Dave; hadn't heard that one before.

Playing like everyone else wasn't difficult enough for Fripp, so he invented New Standard Tuning  
 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_standard_tuning
 
The guitar's strings are assigned the notes C2-G2-D3-A3-E4-G4 (from lowest to highest); the five lowest open strings are each tuned to an interval of a perfect fifth {(C,G),(G,D),(D,A),(A,E)}; the two highest strings are a minor third apart (E,G).
 
It presents particular issues for bass;

My favorite comment:
 
Use the thickest taper-core low B you can find. I use a Sadowsky black label flat at 0.130T for this tuning (and while it's cool you call it Fripp tuning, violincellos have been tuned like this for over 300 years, so let's not give Fripp credit for everything!).
 
TI jazz flats have a 0.136, but it's not a taper-core if I recall correctly. The taper core will seat the string lower in the saddle and hopefully will solve your problem (you're still a bit sharp, correct?).
 
I'll try it, as soon as I get the hang of (B)EADG tuning. It should only take another lifetime or two. Let me know how it works out for you.

Muleskinner, (with the late, great Bill Keith and Clarence White on banjo and guitar, respectively) one of the quintessential moments for bluegrass music, caught on film very much by chance. I believe it was a key turning point in our music, when the second generation of players began to take up the torch.

Very nice!!

I couldn't decide which one to post, so I said two words (one of which was it) and I'll leave it to you.  
 
Stu Hamm - Moonlight Sonata/Abbey Road
 
Stu Hamm - Goin' To California

Honestly? In the last couple hours I?ve been listening, laughing at (or with), being amazed by, wondering why... THIS:

Wow! That reminds me of Zappa's The Dangerous Kitchen with Steve Vai.

Preston Reed was another pioneer of the acoustic guitar as percussion instrument style made popular by Michael Hedges and Tommy Emmanuel. This ain't about that, but here's an  example of what I mean, for comparative purposes:
 
Slap Funk by Preston Reed:
 
The song I want to turn you on to is his Overture: For Lily because it's a great composition with a great story, that I got from Preston Reed himself. He brought a guitar with him to the waiting room in the maternity ward for the birth of his daughter, Lily. It's all there in musical form; the tension, impatience, fear ... and the moment when she opened her eyes and looked into his.
 

 
I dislike watching the video, because I fell in love with the tremendous emotions of the song from listening to the CD, and the intro is so simple and evocative of time dragging by. That doesn't come across nearly as well when watching him play it. Hell, I didn't even KNOW there was a video until ten minutes ago, ha ha.
 
Do yourself a favor and get his (remastered) album Metal.

It's been one of my favorite road music CDs for twenty years. (Martin Simpson had arranged a collaboration between Michael Hedges and Preston Reed that was partially recorded at the time of Michael Hedges' tragic passing. None of the music has ever been released. Anybody got connections? I'd love to hear that.)

Rob; the Peanuts/Sugar Magnolia video was cute.  Here's the direct .

Thanks, Dave, I'm sure Vince Guaraldi and Charles Schulz would approve!
