Frank Zappa Hot Guitars Out Of The Box

Hot Guitars Out Of The Box (out of The Hot Rats Sessions Box!)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
WARNING: THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL ALBUM, but the content is from an official album. This is a selection / extrapolation of the guitar parts from The Hot Rats Sessions box. I assembled this compilation to listen non-stop to the guitar Frank played during those sessions. I worked a lot cutting and sewing, removing parts of other musical instruments, trying to combine the various fragments and the various takes in a fluid way.
This is from my own private collection. I assembled it for my personal listening and I share it for CULTURAL and EDUCATIONAL purposes to promote the artist (Frank Zappa).
I do not own the rights to this material, I use it only for promotional-cultural use. I believe this compilation is a great commercial for the box set. I am not financially (or otherwise) involved in selling The Hot Rats Sessions, but I hope this selection is an incentive for the undecided to buy the whole box, which is a casket of jewels (6 disc box set!). If, however, those who own the rights to these songs deem it inappropriate the presence of this video on You Tube, they can block it.

Always a Pleasure to 'see' another Grant!...esp one w similar great taste in music!! ahem....I must say that the first track hooked me and floated me right in....Amazing!...and, unmistakable Style must Ooze from his fingers. Kinda makes me want to find the old 'Scott/Clark or Mitchell'??!!'(mem fails atm) headphones. You know the ones, I'm sure!? Tan color and Bulky!! lol Thank you!

@@1Gskillet hi Grant!! I. believe you’re thinking of the old David Clark cans, I must admit the very image of those headphones makes me envious of anyone with a set. I must say that the only reason I knew (being 22) is that I’m a huge nerd LOL.

That’s why Zappa concerts were two hours or more. You got to see Frank, tongue in cheek satirist, Frank the instrumentalist that is all picks and pedals, tearing it up. And finally Frank the innovator, always coming up with something different. Worth the price for a ticket every time. Gone but in no way forgotten.

Love Zappa what a musician I've been listening since I was 12 I'm 66 now. He is a master rest in peace

[@edgeman148]

Completely bloody marvelous; I recall when I bought "Freak Out" my parents thought I was nuts, later on my kids did too. I am just so very glad to have been alive during the whole of Frank Zappa's musical life. Saw The Mothers live in Manchester UK, it was Flo and Eddie on shared vocals, I think Ainsley Dunbar on drums. Lastly, I went to live in LA and to actually tread some of the spots FZ had written about. Thank you very much for this.

[@gelubatir9794]

PLEASE, GET MY FULL RESPECT - from Romania

[@Olegzyan]

I had a chance to meet Frank in Moscow in Stas Namin's music centre back in 1989. We talked for awhile about music and he shook my hand and gave me a hug. He acted like a down to earth guy without that big star bullshit. It was an unforgettable experience! Great man!

[@wolftracks9010]

🙀 Frank was a true Artist. He was a brilliant guitarist, a superb composer, a matchless bandleader, a movie producer, a record company executive, a human rights activist and an incomparable social satirist. He was a prolific workaholic who left behind a staggering body of work. His subsequent solo work encompassed everything from jazz-rock to orchestral pieces, always delivered with Zappa's trademark humor. He has been acclaimed as a genius for his versatility, and although genius is an overused word in music, it applies to Zappa in spades. Thank you for continuing to keep Franks legacy very much Alive .... BTW, great compilation here ~ thank you for sharing! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you personally think that you are underrated as a guitarist ? " I think that I shouldn't be rated as a guitarist. I think that rating a guitarist is a stupid hobby. I am a composer, willing to take chances with a composition, live on stage, in front of an audience and just go out there and have the nerve, the ultimate audacity, to not know what I'm going to play and try something new, and we will have an adventure together. There is no way to rate that." " Without deviation (from the norm), progress is not possible." - FZ

[@dsmith9572]

I saw Frank in '72 at Gannon College. He showed up with a bass player and two drummers. He played exactly one guitar riff, about 3 seconds, and spent the remainder of the "show" fooling with a rubber chicken. He did "sing" a bit too.

[@marksimpson468]

Saw Zappa in Miami 81. He sat on a bar stool that night very chill and just played. Was blown away at how good he really was. Thanks FZ for the experience.

[@edouglaspratt]

Zappa's good and fun to listen to. Gotta say he's not exceptional, not "very good" on guitar. Like Gerry Garcia, it's the halo effect of fame and the synergy of their respective bands that gets us thinking they're "very good". Listen close to John Mayall's "Beano" album or to Richard Thompson's electric guitar playing (his acoustic is also exceptional). Very good guitar is way beyond Zappa or Garcia. -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Because Frank was a creative genius, he had the ability to improvise/jam/riff endlessly. If you were an attentive listener, I swear his playing could put you in a very pleasurable trance and take you to musical "places" hitherto unexplored .....

[@John-rb3yv]

He really had a jazz attitude as far as never repeating a solo He admitted he hates all his recorded solos because of their frozen in time nature...... He knew he had a certain space to improvise and did it in the NOW Great way to try and live in THE NOW

[@stefanofocacci]

I think that the late Max Bennett deserves credit for his excellent bass work. In his own words, "I was not familiar with Zappa’s music. Our paths never crossed. I was never a big fan of avant garde music in that sense. It was while I was working in the studio, what was it, 1967 [sic], I think? And I got a call from John Guerin. He said, ‘Get your stuff over to TTG’ - that was in Hollywood - ‘I got a double session for you with Frank Zappa.’ So we get there and we worked two double sessions for two nights. And that was the album, that was Hot Rats”.

I grew up on Zappa and was always fascinated by his wash wash solos. I love to practice my guitar soloing to Zappa solos. Just playing alongside gives me new insights and ideas. I recently read his own description of his soloing concepts - he said he uses the Pentatonic scale, minor scale and modal playing. That lead me to learning scales and modes on guitar. Listening to his longer solos one can begin to experience his "musical thinking" in action. Thanks for putting this up on KZbin.
