The fripp line on top of the belew 7/8 is basically the same riff in alternating bars of 6 and 7, but KEEPING THE SAME 8th note value. This produces the funky intervals you hear... and you thought it was a delay! (I know *I* did first time I heard it... 8-)). ------------------|---------------| ------------2-----|----------2----| --2---4-------4---|--2---4--------| ----2---2-------2-|----2---2---2--| ------------------|---------------| etc. over the 7/8 above... ------------------|---------------| The chording during fripps' wacked out picking in the intro and between verses seems to be a barred 9th chord, dropping the unison on the G string to the major 7th, ie --2-----2--2----| --2-----2--2----| --4-----3--4----| --4-----4--4----| --2-----2--2----| --2-----2--2----| with appropriate whammy bar antics for the first chord, then up to a Dsus2 (5th & 7th fretts) then again another 3rd. Oh yeah, when the 13/8 and 7/8 fall back together, they play for about 3 bars both in 7 *then* drop the bass note as noted above. Some one is yet to figure out the "wacked out fripp part".
