Hi Again!

Here's another FZ tune. This is the way that I play this one in my band

The Zappa Instrumentaale. It's a good basic riff for a guitarist to solo

over & any band can work up some hot moments with this trance-like riff.

It's not all that hard to play but you will need to strech a bit in the `B'

section (or finger it across 2 strings). It's played on a 5-string but I

will provide alternate fingerings at the end.I would love to hear from any

other FZ fans playing this stuff (live or bedroom) & would appreciate

getting any other FZ TABs, either Bass or Guitar). I would also be pleased

to receive any corrections. Ciao!
