I think there's already a version of this at Nevada. My tab is quite
similar in terms of the notes used, but the strings and fret numbers
I use are quite different. I think this way it's a lot easier to play
it so you can leave the notes to sustain a little.

This is based more on the live versions of the track than the studio
version.

There's one bit which is quite hard to pull off using just one guitar
- if you have a bass and a guitar you can split the part up to make it
work, but if you're just playing on your own it's a bit tricky so
I've tabbed an alternative part for these shapes - It just uses an
alternative shape for the same chord - it isn't exactly what's on the
record, but it works well and is nice and easy to play.
For this bit I've used curly brackets { to indicate the alternative
lines of TAB - the top line is the 'true' line, the bottom line is
the easier one.



/  -  slide up
\  -  slide down
h  -  hammer on
p  -  pull off


  let notes sustain ........

                   ^^^^^^
             play this using the first finger
            to bar across the 6th fret, then you
            can use the tip of the first finger
            to dampen the A string

{                these are a bit of a stretch, so you could try

 Then he launches off on one of his little solos.........


Just groove on G/A for 15 or twenty minutes .......








FRANK ZAPPA - Zoot Allures

This is the basic arrangement for the header of Zappa's ZOOT ALLURES. This
is most like the original Zoot arrangement heard on You Can't C That On
Stage Anymore Vol3.

Notes:
-The opening notes with the open A-string should be left to ring.
-The area between the double lines is repeated.
-The dots above certain chords means play staccato.
- ' x\ ' means slide down the neck.

Frank also does many different filler riffs during various sections. A
common one that he does during the bit marked with ' * ' is like this:

------------------------------!
-8-8-8-7-5-5-5h7-5h7-8p7-5-7--!
-7-7-7-7-5-5-5h7-5h7-7---5-7--!
-7-7-7-7-5-5-5h7-5h7-7---5-7--!
-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---5-------5-5--!
------------------------------!

Anyway play this with a guitar on the edge of feedback and listen to some
of the great versions Frank does of it to get the timing and phrasing
right.
