eomrat, woke post for Rock Artist

Zappa never labeled himself as "Rock and Roll" but he did write rock, and he wrote it more complex than most. He showed Hendrix how to use a "crybaby" and he invented what most rockers did.

Here is the guitar tab for Muffin Man - [url]https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/frank-zappa/muffin-man-tabs-402131[/url]

Here is the start of the guitar solo which LIVE and was never played same way again - [url]https://youtu.be/lWQb_T9_nwA?t=87[/url]

Now the above was played so fast, many rockers can only improvise this such this - [url]https://youtu.be/aa_68S7Bz4M[/url]

THis is all in C#Miner and it easy to improvise pentatonic scales, but very few could sit down and get this note for note.

I've heard Zappa play that 5-6X each time the solo is completely different, its a form of heavy/bluesy ROCK.

This guy comes close, but he's still just doing fast hammer-on/pulloffs, on parts he can't figure out - [url]https://youtu.be/GIuVEGF6oOc[/url]

This is just ONE tune, there is another solo called "on the bus" a guitar teacher said, no I can't do this note for note, 5 minutes of lead guitar.

Here is the track right after "On the Bus" , listen to crunch on that guitar, if that ain't rock............... oh the title is childish right????? [url]https://youtu.be/ZmbxinvLONE[/url]


Listen to the deepness/tone in this guitar riff, from 1970, The Beatles could never hang with this stuff, I wanna hold your hand sissy stuff, even when they became wannabe hippies.

chit that ain't ROCK, that's this roughneck/thug rock, music from the 'other side of the fence"

eomrat has a new buddy...

heartwarming stuff ...

Here's another [url]https://youtu.be/xsFzHpBlugs?t=220[/url]

I moved it to the gritty guitar riff and the badass solo, but please listen to the whole thing, the lyrics are for rock critics like YOU!

And that phucking bass, top notch, Vinnie on drums!!!

And he's wearing "Black-Face" on the album cover oh, I love it! BALLZZZZ!!!

What the hell is this?

I couldn't care less about Frank Zappa.

Well, you spoke-up like you knew how to analyze his work, WTF for then, if you don't care?????

Yeah, you mentioned his bizarre hearing, you most likely think he was some drugged wasted guy falling apart. Nope, he wasn't like your buddy Elvis at all!

Neither does he/she

What's going on in here?

Something about someone named Zapa being better than Elvis. Best as I can tell.

[QUOTE=steffo99;1598529641]What's going on in here?[/QUOTE]

Something about balls...Or as LWW enthusiastically put it: "BALLZZZZ!!!"

No no no!
Its about EOM not caring about whether getting zapped by an electric guitar means you are like Elvis
