Description Going back through old albums looking for inspiration I pulled out the three record set by Frank Zappa called Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar. This song is derived from pieces from that album that I did as a learning experience. Everyone knows the commercial work he did and that he was a demanding and talented musician. But he also like to just lay it out, mistakes and all and that's where I come in. I've got the mistakes down and now that we will be able to reload new versions of our songs I figured it was a good excuse to put this up. It's long 5:04.

Hardware Fender Strat, J-Station, Blue Tube Preamp, Ibenez Tube Sreamer.

Software: Logic Express 7

	Character to spare! You're brave to go to Zappa for inspiration! Really great playing and tone throughout this piece. If there are mistakes, I don't hear them. It all sounds very organic and expressive. The bends and vibrato are seductive! Given the length, you might try a change-up of the backing part at some point. Maybe a shift to a different mode or chord progression?

	Character to spare! Ahhh, but changing the backing wouldn't be very Zappa-esque. :) Frank had a tendency to solo 5-20 minutes while the band vamped on one or two chords. Not that I would complain, I have been a fan for years. --- Mungo

	More Low Notes, Please I enjoyed this. A nice tribute to Frank's mellower side, Black/Pink Napkins. You're a very good guitarist. Troy's recent trips into absurd lyric territory have a zappa-like flavor. Once we can upload remakes, I'll redo and upload my FZ tribute / mistake Gonzo.

	I love the tone you have on this song. Very smooth you inspired me so much I had to brake out the guitar and play along or at least try to lol. And thanks for turning me on to the Deja Vibe man I've got to get one I've been trying to figure out how to get that sound for years. Do you know what the difference is between the mini Deja and the regular one? 8 8 7 9

	Love the way... you make that axe cry and scream. Extremely soulful guitar playing. Incredible!

	human flesh I like the experiment. Sorry to correct you on this, but those where NOT mistakes. It was human flesh. Exactly what's missing here. It doesn't burn enough!

	The things I missed... ...before I joined... As a guy who keeps all versions of "Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar" in his office, including the limited edition mini-disc that came in a magazine... well... THIS is a TREAT.... Ed

	Congratulations We have a winner. Yes, it was based on Pink Napkins. The middle section was my own chord progression but you're right the original was basically a two chord vamp. Mungo I'll check out your music later.
