  • Zoot Allures, from Zappa's album "Zoot Allures", 1976.
    I tried to play the guitar as similar as possible to the original recording, but I had to add some fills to compensate the lack of feedback present in the recording.
    At the end I improvise a little solo with a slide. The drums on that part are taken from MrMaxiAcDance's backing track: • Frank Zappa, Zoot Allu...
    Guitar: Gibson SG Special Worn Brown 2011
    Amp: Roland Cube 40GX
    DAW: Ardour 5
    Plugins: Fabfilter Pro-R and Valhalla UberMod

    Wonderful! Great tone on your SG. You've captured Frank very well. You have a great ear. A very fine tribute. Music is the BEST! Nice addition of the slide.

    I had to learn how to do that from the record back in the 70's! Trying to work out all those chords was brain scrambling. But I managed it! It teaches you a lot just sitting on your own and listening, over and over and over and over and......
    Not much good for your vinyl though!

      I used to travel as a geologist throughout the southwest of the US, mid 70’s mid 80’s, and would stop at every record store looking for music and of course FZ... as SOON as i got home, the vinyl was cleaned, played and then recorded onto a Pioneer FT1100 (or something like that) to cassettes... my albums are still very pure as THEY were MY masters and I treated them royally ... I have of course replaced everything with CDs... but those vinyls are STILL my masters... and still in the collection...
      I still don’t think my wife knows today what what I paid for all those bootlegs (over 75 I think) that I collected over the years... makes me smile though when I pull them out and put them on the record player....

    I like this. A lot. I hear a very literal and clean interpertation of the original and a very 70's sound to the improv. Nice.

    • @AlejandroLaviana
      @AlejandroLaviana  4 місяці тому

      Thank you. Although I do most of my transcriptions fully by ear, on this one I had an aid from Gruthrie Govan's transcription of this song. It was published on some magazine I can't remember. Some chords I would not agree with Guthrie, so I changed them. The fills are also "mine" (its all really Frank's here) and of course the solo is improvised. Cheers!

    Slide solo was a nice touch at the end. Perhaps that chord just before the solo could be a G#7(#5)(#9)?
    Starting on the D string: F# C D## A## (F#CEB, with G# in the bass). This provides an altered dominant just before the solo vamp of C#m11 to F#7sus. The note F# is heard as pedal point in this section, especially in the marimba.

    • @AlejandroLaviana
      @AlejandroLaviana  15 днів тому +1

      Hey! I tried this and it is definitely the chord you are saying. What I'm playing (D13) is basically the same chord because tritone subtitution, but It lacks a very prominent E heard in the recording, and your voicing fits much better with the original recording as well. If I ever do a revision of this I'll change the chord. Thank you very much!!
