How to Play Zoot Allures by Frank Zappa on Guitar | with Tabs

I think I love Frank’s compositional ideas more than any other aspect of his musical persona. And this song is a wonderful example of why. I am spellbound by the way the tonal centres defy my best efforts to mentally pin them down. And just when a chord rings long enough for me to find my feet, the timing changes and I’m once again flailing to keep afloat! I’m anchorless in a sea of swirling harmony and roiling meters! I played this on my unmodified, 1982 Fujigen ’57 reissue Fender Strat. I double tracked it so I could back the gain off on one track in a vain attempt to emulate Frank’s ridiculously amazing tone. I played the bass on my son’s beautiful Greco Beatle Bass. Drums are just some dry pattern in Logic. I think the poor guy struggled to follow those meter changes!
