This is a good point.  Fripp does rely too much on synth patches.  Now that
can sometimes work very effectively such as on A Blessing of Tears, but 
more
often than not it just gets cloying.  I would like to see him use the
natural sound of the guitar more - essentially i would like him to sound
like a guitarist, rather than a keyboard player.
