One More Red Nightmare
King Crimson
From "Red"
Hello,
At first I tried to tab the drums part, because I was obsessed
with this song for a while, and absolutely wanted to play it.
But I finally made an almost complete tab.
Writing what have been done here would not be readable, so I
just made a guitar pro tab:

I want to thank a lot the previous contributors, most of the
work have been done by you.
P.S: I really had difficulties with the saxophone solo,
and I didn't even finished the outro ( so tired of tabbing)
so don't hesitate to correct it, and send me your own version !
It will be a pleasure to re-upload it.

One More Red Nightmare
King Crimson
From the album "Red"
Hi there, first time contributer to ETWiki!
Most of the tabs up here on Elephant Talk formed the basis of my tab.
I'm going for completeness rather than accuracy, so I do expect some
parts to be off as I'm doing this largely from memory. I am using bits
and pieces of tabs from ETWiki, but editing the format, changing notes,
etc, to make it one consistent format. My apologies if I've infringed
on sacred ground here.
Some of the bigger changes/additions not seen on ETWiki so far have been
the "lead" guitar part under the verses, the lead under the sax solo
sections, and the harmonies on the big tritone riff. I've attempted to
transcribe as much of it as I could.
Intro / Main Riff

The first time around, this part is played without harmonies

The rhythm part is pretty much verbatim from Jacob Kjær. It needed no improvement.
All I did was edit the format to keep things consistent.

The rest of the song from here is just repeats of the parts already established.
There are many variations on the lead part in the sax solo, so what I wrote down
is sort of a guideline. I'm not 100% sure of every note, but it's a far more complete
version than what we already have.

Hi,
I made this tab because I found the 15 year old tab on ETWiki for the quiet section fairly useless, which
also happens to be the only hard-to-tab part of the whole song, at least for the lead guitar (which is
what I needed).
The tab is s slightly wide, and the intervals are of iregular character widths, but I decided not to spend
time formatting it. It should fit on any computer screen, else just hit "CTRL -" in your browser to reduce
the size of the characters.
You can either see it as 4/4 with triplets or 12/8 with regular 8th and quarter notes. 4/4 makes the most
sense, and you can actually use this when practicing this part of the song, or at least as a way to teach
yourself which to play at the right time, but the PULSE and PHRASING is totally different in the actual
song.
What you really want is the tab in Guitar Pro 5 that I used to generate the tab below. It also includes
drum and bass, however not as precisely tabbed as the guitar:
http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s072421/omrn2.gp5 (expected file lifetime: until 2014 or so)
Should you manage to improve this tab slightly, or maybe work out all the variations between each round of
chords, then PLEASE MAIL ME THE CHANGES OR POST THEM HERE as a way of giving me something back for the work
which I have saved you (and/or others) by posting this tab. That's all I ask :)
Cheers,
Jacob Kjær,
Denmark

Hello All,
This is a recent effort to hack out OMRN. This is just a start but I
thought I'd pass it around. I also a have a near complete version of
starless. I recently added in all of the bass and the mellotron chords.
I'm still unsure about those chords though, wish I had a mellotron to
try them out on :). Anyhow, I want to keep everybody here informed of
new progress and up to date without being redundant in the amount that
gets sent out. So, let me know if there are any qualms.
Thanks,
Scott

[the opening of this song is in 7/4 at a tempo about 1/4=105(per
minute). I'm still not sure about the higher intervals, this is just
the root notes. It sometimes sounds like power chords and other times,
I'm sure there are tri-tones.]

[Then back to beginning and play again.]
[After 2nd pass go to the refrain in 12/8(about 1/8=280). It is 12/8
with very irregular accents which I'll attempt to illuminate. Also I
chose the fingerings to allow the notes to ring as long as possible. Of
course the guitar has some distortion, but you should let some clean
sound through also. Also the chord sequences is actually pretty simple
and you can fake it by just finger picking the chords]
