Hi peoples!

Hmm...no Zappa here yet - but there is now. This is the way that I play this

one in my band The Zappa Instrumentaale. It's not all that hard to play but

what might trip you up is the tempo that the notes are played at (especially

the quintuplets at the end). Watch out for time signature changes! I would

appreciate any correspondence from FZ fans (especially other FZ TABs, either

Bass or Guitar) &, of course, corrections are most welcome.
