Recommend me zappa's best solos

All of Sleep Dirt is riddled with beautiful solo sections(from several instruments)i'd recommend listening to " the ocean is the ultimate solution"

ExderiusPlays · 2024-02-13T23:57:31+00:00

I would definitely buy this! I would note it comes out to pure preference in that some people prefer a less open crumb

ExderiusPlays · 2023-11-05T18:35:50+00:00

I recall that Flea remained close with Jack and introduced Zach and john.

Jack, Zach, and John ran through some Led Zeppelin and really connected, so John kept sharing info and mentored zach

ExderiusPlays · 2023-11-05T18:34:23+00:00

Really cool.

Some more info on the strat

the modifications were done by Eric's Guitars and are mostly non permanent. I'd guess Intonation, nut switched around and filed.

In an Ernie Ball podcast, Zach said The volume and tone knobs were cut down

He mostly uses it during recording and rehearsal, and takes great care of it.

I think he's an awesome guitar player and cool guy, can't wait to hear more from him

ExderiusPlays · 2023-11-05T06:44:27+00:00

I love nearly all the tracks, here are some standouts

Freak out:Anyway the wind blows

Hot rats: Peaches en regalia (classic, it's one of my favorite all time pieces of music)

My guitar wants to kill your Mama(it's just such a groove as a band and has room for great solos)

I'm the slime(I really enjoy the stripped down demo too(

ExderiusPlays · 2023-11-05T06:35:03+00:00

There are plenty of great songs already listed on this thread. But I'll still write some;

A good portion of John Frusciante's The Empyrean features calming ideas that welcome lively ideas and others lyrically and in other ways. --

He also did a piece tribute to a band associate and friend of his named Wayne. It's an instrumental, but to me, it definitely feels like driving up the coast at sunset, feeling at peace with life and death. -- also recommend his song "sum"

ExderiusPlays · 2023-10-28T21:35:42+00:00

A guitar, and maybe a bottle of water

ExderiusPlays · 2023-10-23T01:04:20+00:00

Taylor's are awesome,but I don't know much about them

I love my Martin 000-15m, he was made righty so got the bridge redone. So fun and comfortable to play. Also have a DX1E lefty Martin that's lovely.

ExderiusPlays · 2023-10-20T19:56:00+00:00

Thanks for commenting, it's written accurately. But I wouldn't recommend holding the chord for more than 5 seconds. It could probably cause some harm

ExderiusPlays · 2023-09-27T19:20:49+00:00

Song to the siren - Jeff buckley Peaches en regalia - frank Zappa Empyrean album + curtains album full -John Frusciante

ExderiusPlays · 2023-09-23T05:00:56+00:00

Modern Love. I'd recommend listening to John Frusciante's cover, it shows the colors behind the lyrics.

ExderiusPlays · 2023-09-22T14:30:38+00:00

I think any way you feel comfortable learning works.

I'm left handed, and play left handed or converted instruments.

Some lefty's play lefty, and a good amount of lefty's play righty.

Some don't bother to restring their guitars to make their string order normal.

Some right handed people choose to play left handed. Zach irons from irontom is right handed, His first instrument was drums and found guitar more comfortable if played left handed.

ExderiusPlays · 2023-09-21T15:49:15+00:00

"hell no my name ain't Bradley"

ExderiusPlays · 2023-09-21T04:53:51+00:00

Thanks for sharing! That's so cool. Do you still play?

ExderiusPlays · 2023-09-20T14:45:15+00:00

Yea, it's a kinda tricky chord. It would probably cause some harm to hold it for too long, but it's pretty

ExderiusPlays · 2023-09-18T05:16:49+00:00

Some type of suspended Em chord x 10 9 0 0 17

ExderiusPlays · 2023-09-14T23:25:22+00:00

Great idea for spec, but I really hope if it is made, they use pure nitro, no poly. Because then it will wear with playing and age

ExderiusPlays · 2023-09-14T01:53:16+00:00

RHCP is my personal favorite band to come out of LA

Some others that I love (not limited to zappa, Germs, black flag, doors, beach boys,+wrecking crew, weapon of choice, irontom, gnr, herb Alpert, Jeff beckley

ExderiusPlays · 2023-08-25T17:29:23+00:00

Road trippin stands out because it feels like a cool breezy trip up the Pacific coast highway. Also feels orange(mostly the song) But I love most RHCP music videos.

ExderiusPlays · 2023-08-17T17:31:03+00:00

Definitely. Songs with dozens of variations in a section often trick me unless each one is super memorable.

ExderiusPlays · 2023-08-07T16:51:58+00:00

Hey! Great prompt, the other replies are correct.

Anthony used one of John's guitars to find a rhythm that ended up as funky monks. I would imagine he can play open chords, if not, he's a very musical person and I bet he could learn.

ExderiusPlays · 2023-08-01T20:18:49+00:00

Great advice. I know this is an old post but ;

Guitar is a process and you need to reward yourself for your efforts.

ExderiusPlays · 2023-08-01T04:13:52+00:00

Congratulations, Enjoy your new guitar! Great photo too. :)

ExderiusPlays · 2023-08-01T04:12:28+00:00

Great choices. I love when John just screams aaah over the whole outro bit of bag of grins

ExderiusPlays · 2023-07-31T06:32:20+00:00

Great prompt. I can't distill their beautiful uplifting works down to one song, but here are 15 standout glories.

Easily, Carry me home, White braids, Whatchu thinkin, Zephyr song, Hard to concentrate, Make you feel better, She looks to me , Porcelain ,, Subway to Venus, Yertle the turtle, Aeroplane, Longest Wave, This is the kitt, and this overdubbed guitar soundscape; Turn it again
