Re: King crimson stuff
IMO he did a kind of 'ultimate' version of this particular 'songbird'
style
of his in the solo to 'Happy with What you Have to be Happy With', on the
mini-CD of the same title as well as on The Power to Believe. Almost as a
self-parody it would seem, but no less impressive.
I've never much tried to deconstruct this style of playing (as it is so
personal to him and sounds nigh-impossible and completely pointless to try
and reproduce:-). But to my ears it sounds a bit as though it's a
variation
of the harmonic technique where you only apply the harmonic after the pick
action, mid-note, so to speak...?
