Frank Zappa - Guitar , Disk 1

music files only



By no stretch of the imagination could Frank Zappa be considered your average, everyday guitar hero. Sure, he possessed a capacity for blinding speed and could zoom around the fretboard with abandon, but it was his unique approach to guitar solos in general that made him such an iconoclast. Brimming with sophisticated motifs and convoluted rhythms, Zappa's extended excursions are more akin to symphonies than they are to guitar solos. In retrospect, it was only Frank Zappa's incomparable talent as a composer/bandleader/music visionary that overshadowed his guitar-playing prowess.
