FRANK ZAPPA Guitar Lessons SHUT UP N PLAY YER GUITAR (7 Songs!)

Play with Zappa on some of the coolest tunes from Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar! I'll show you the background riffs that Zappa solos over, as well as the modes and scales he uses for his improvisations.

Songs include Heavy Duty Judy, The Deathless Horsie, Five Five Five (This one has the mode but also the tricky riff that opens the record for harmony or solo guitar), Variations On the Carlos Santana Secret Chord Progression and Treacherous Cretins.

This lesson is based on the amazing transcriptions by Steve Vai in The Frank Zappa Guitar Book, so I also include Packard Goose and Black Napkins! On Screen Tabs for most of the tricky Riffs and Scales!

By former James Brown Guitarist, Damon Wood.
