I think we should let Bill Edwards explain the tuning to him...
:D
Anyway - I can accept that attitude from Fripp...
Strange, as a rule skill and knowledge brings modesty. I guess he's one of the exceptions from that rule.
I just want to add that this is the only book with that focus I've read. So I'm not saying it's the best or even "good". I'm only stating that it did have an impact on my sorry self...
Yes they can! :)
