Tuning: Standard
Hey, this is my tab for Disengage by Robert Fripp.
This is an insane song; in terms of timing, vocals etc. but really fun
I'm going to put time signatures (e.g. 7/8 11/8 etc) at the start of each phrase,
follow the time signature until you see the next one.
Each - denotes a semiquaver. The numbers above are the quaver beats

Congrats for making it to the end of this frankly bizarre time signatured song,
Sorry I couldn't make it more clear. Go have a cookie.
