This is the 7/8 guitar part that 
Belew plays during the singing:

same pattern 
fret.        
             
             

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-)).

The chording during fripps' wacked

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
Continues after the ad
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".

This was originally posted by Sven .
Excellent work on the 13/8 part, but
 I found a small error in the
second change of the 7/8 part: 
Instead of the second note in each
measure moving down another half 
step, the first note moves down a
half step.  I've also made some 
headway into the "Wacked out Fripp 
part."

Some one is yet to figure out the 
"wacked out fripp part".

However, it's based on the 
following:
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
---------------------------------
-----5-7-5-------5-7-5-------5-7-
-5-8-------8-5-8-------8-5-8-----
---------------------------------

-|---------------      
-|---------------      
-|---------------      
-|5--------------      
-|--8------------  etc 
-|---------------      

Which modulates up to the 7th fret, 
then 10th, then 11th. The rhythm
is strange, I can't pin down if it's
 sextuplets, 6 against 4, or what.
It seems like he adds some notes 
sometimes to make things fit in.
