    This is a completion of this: • Frank Zappa ...and Pla...
    I was listening to "Frank Zappa ...and Play Yer Guitar (in the sixties) " and I thought it was not complete without the official guitar solos.
    So, I compiled this, the real "The Sixties Guitar Solos"!
    Between the solos I inserted various snippets to join the guitar solos among them. Then I created a video.
    This video is made up of many Zappa pictures. Images are not random, but I tried to make them in harmony with music. I also used some simple photo animations.

    Thanks for putting this collage together. The late '60's is my is my favorite period for Zappa's solos and also the music he wrote. I love the sound he got from his 1954 Les Paul gold top, he never quite captured that sound again. From what I read it was stolen in late 1969 and replaced with an SG. The solo at minute 22:21 "Theme from Burnt Weeny Sandwich" is one of my favorites, it's so beautiful I want to cry.

    1974/5 FZ, NMB, Chester Thomson, Fowler on bass, George Duke, U.C.S.B. Basketball Gym, wooden bleachers pulled out from walls, TighT quarters every ones personal space was united as one, sitting at an angle to face the stage, proximity to those around you caused VerY little movement through out show (sat still for the longest period of time with out a break), of sound clean mind & perfectly still body. I was devoted to rock & blues guitar players listening, watching etc. Except this man, after the opening solo by G.D. (fantastic blues electric piano the stage was empty at start). Rest one at a time, standard entrance, FZ's first words "Hello, it is good to be back home" which got a BIG cheer. I new he was not from S.B. I looked around at the people whose personal space I was sharing for more of a conformation as to where that statement came from nothing. no one turning to a bud to discuss which incident could cause that sentiment from FZ. I realized I should of done my homework before I came to class in the first five minutes. He was so far ahead of my comprehension, my mind was blown away, my brain was witness to what I had always wanted to see, JAMMING. 5 individuals competing as a whole and as individuals parts of the whole. No real previous experience my brain was not processing what it was hearing. Afterwards I was in shock it did not seem like you could get what I had seen on vinyl, to me that's great business I guess. I did not see much future for me cause I only wanted that of which I heard & being the short sighted white male that I was I did not get it til I discovered RUclips. Did I mention it was the best "rock n' roll show/music I have ever witnessed. Thanks to all for allowing his work to be heard, now if we could figure out a way to have it piped right into the heads of people the world would be a better place

      Music is typically graded by David Fricke. Nothing against the man but Frank zappa felt very strongly about single arbiters of what is good and what is not. One thing we can all agree upon was Uncle Frank was a superior technician and great talent for reading a room and tailoring a sound to it and perceiving how to get the audience to hear how he wanted it to come across. Oddly another who was dynamite at doing this was Buck Owens. He would record a song and play it back on the grotty speakers found in cars at the time of AM radios. He was that innovative because both he and Frank Zappa were attuned to their audience

    I can recall reading an interview many years ago, in which Frank stated that you can get high yourself without the help of any hallucinogenic drugs, and it's obvious to me that he used the guitar (especially during his live soloing) to take himself there. Anybody else ready, willing & able to ride along with him could get high too .....

    His guitar solo on 50/50 - studio track - is my favorite solo of Frank's.

Yes, I had Joe’s Garage II and III when it was released and I was impressed; but for some reason I didn’t realize the treasures i discovered until 1991 when I purchased Hot Rats and Freak Out and I have been addicted ever since. Priceless - listen to Frank every day.

    I think the best sound Frank Zappa got was from his 1954 Les Paul "Goldtop" Standard with 2 white P-90 pickups. This was his main guitar from 1967 through 1969. I read in an article that it was stolen right around the time he broke up the original Mothers of Invention. The magnificent sound he got on this Les Paul are some of the best I've heard from anyone. "Hot Rats" (1969) has some of those great sounds like during "Willie the Pimp" right after Beefheart sings "Floozies in the lobby love the way I sell....Hot meat" Zappa comes in with an incredible sound maybe from using 2 wah-wah pedals. When I read this story about his Les Paul was stolen, it all made sense to me. Why get rid of such a great sounding guitar? Another thing that baffles me is he played a lot of acoustic guitar during his greatest years 1967-1969, but very little after "Uncle Meat", "Weasels Ripped my Flesh", Burnt Weeny Sandwich" and "Hot Rats". I think those were Zappa and the Mother's best albums and Zappa doing his best guitar work during that period.

    • @bryanlee5522
      @bryanlee5522 4 года назад +1

      His guitar playing during this time was very melodic. In the 70s it was more wild and gnarly. There definitely is a alot of charm and quaintness to the 60s solos. There's many of my favorites. And there's nothing 'rock star' about them. They are like sweet little compositions. But Hot Rats was kind of a turning point to the 70s style of ripping your face off

    • @andragg
      @andragg 4 года назад +1

      It seems a lot of great musicians and artists do their greatest work early in their careers. I didn't like much of Zappa's music after 1970, it's obvious Zappa wanted to be a Rock guitar icon. In 1975 I met him before a concert and I chatted with him and it was clear where his head was at musically. He had the Zoot Allures group of young super musicians who wacked off with their instruments, showing off their chops. I was disappointed, and the show sucked so I left early. What he did in '67 through '69 is good enough for me..

    Love your collection. back in the late 70's I had over 20 Zappa albums. I left them all at my heroin addicted x/girlfriends house. In the mid 80's I went to a strip club and saw the X/girlfriend dancing there. She saw me too. She thanked me for the albums (pawned them for $200.00) and gave me a blow job at the bar while everyone watched. I really miss my early Zappa Albums but have a great story. Freak me out Frank, yes that was me too

    Thanks for this post !
    I was always thinking that Frank wasn't a great guitarist during his early years, and that he became very talented during the seventies. But these recordings have made me change my mind :
    I knew some solos that I have always loved (Burnt weeny sandwich, Holiday in Berlin, Stuff up the cracks). And I discover others : 44:24 1968-10-28 London - A Pound For A Brown and 54:44 1969-06-06 London - Sleazette are powerful !
    About 18:25 1967 The Money Demos - Stuff Up The Cracks and 22:14 1967 The Money Demos - Burnt Weeny Sandwich :
    Are they studio or live recordings ??
    (I would add the guitar solo of "Sharleena", from The lost episodes, but it was in 1970)
    (and of course the solo of "Lost in a whirlpool", the very first recording of Frank Zappa, but it was in the Fifties ;) )

      It's really the hindsight 'cause of his facility jumping into another orbit after. One really cool thing about Frank's playing back then is the way you could hear the Guitar Slim/Watson approach and attack in an era where everyone was biting on the three kings

    Always great to hear and learn from Mothers's early stuff...Many Live versions are very good bookmarks of Zappa's performance art...and the Mothers...of course. Probably the most tasteful and audacious self taught guitarist of the time he was alive...And you have to hand it to the players he taught who accompanied him on his way...

    During 1967, 1968 and 1969 Zappa played a 1954 Les Paul Gold Top which had a stop bar tail piece bridge and white P-90's. He used it on Hot Rats and the sound he gets on it is among the greatest I have heard by anyone. It could have been a 1955 or a 1953, the year the changes were made which Les Paul himself demanded, and I do not blame him...the 1952 had a horrible trapeze tail piece bridge with the strings going under the bridge, a horrible mistake made by Gibson's design team. For the 1953 version the angle of the neck relative to the body was increased to 17 degrees (previously 14 degrees) the contour of the maple cap was made higher in the center and also higher where the bridge is. These two changes allowed the strings to go over the stop bar tail piece making playing much better and to also allow you to mute the strings with your palm over the tail piece. This was what Les Paul wanted in the first place. Why Zappa switched to an SG I'll never know. It may have been because the SG is lighter in weight. Zappa is a rather short guy, which surprised me when I got to meet him, he always looked so tall on stage. Les Pauls are notoriously heavy, and the SG had humbuckers, that could be why.

      Andrew Seniska funny you mention his height, as I was watching a video of his performance of Montana from A Token Of His Extreme and noticed him wearing tremendously high heeled boots! Go figure. Thank you for more guitar info too, I’d always wondered what he used in this period

    • @andragg
      @andragg 4 года назад

      There are internet sites that say he was 6'-0" and weight 160 which is hard to believe. I met Zappa before his 1975 Zoot Allures tour concert in Tampa. I 'm 5'-11", & 170 lbs and was standing 2 feet from Zappa as we chatted. He seemed smaller than me and my girlfriend was 5 feet away and mentioned it too. Zappa had his bald body guard with him, so everyone looked small next to that mean looking bald dude. Zappa was always very thin too. All those cigarettes, coffee, fried spaghetti, and infamous burnt weeny
      sandwiches kept him under-weight along with not enough sleep and being a workaholic (I confirmed this with Bunk Gardnier & Don Preston who is into health food). These bad habits probably added to
      Zappa's body not being healthy enough to fight off and recover from his prostate cancer. Zappa confirms his terrible diet in “The Real Frank Zappa Book”. But his appearance in the 1960's, being thin, his iconic mustache & goatee, long messy, stringy hair, and the unique music he created all added to his strange persona and eventual fame. He was the weirdest looking guy I have ever met but composed some of the greatest music I ever heard. I loved the music he did most from 1967-1969 and after that I lost interest. Waka-Jawaka and a lot of the orchestral/choir music from 200 Motels was great. After that he played his vaudeville/comedy music and not enough serious music and it bored me. A lot of my friends I grew up with felt the same. By 1975 Zappa became the genuine Rock Star and Guitar God he wanted to be for years and when I saw him on that tour, I hated it so much I left early after walking to the front stage and waved to get
      Zappa's attention and when he looked at me (remembering me from our talk earlier) I gave him a “thumbs down” and left. I bought “Zoot Allures” and smashed it after listening and got instant relief after I put on side 1 from “Uncle Meat”. Even on his chamber group album “Yellow Shark”, the only great pieces were his old ones the group performed. Somewhat famous conductor and arranger for Steve Via, Tom Trapp, told me he loves Zappa's 60's stuff the most. Dweezil Zappa has mentioned similar things, "It Must Be a Camel" from "Hot Rats" (1969) is one of his favorite Zappa pieces as well as mine. Here's a link to a Zappa influenced track from my second album released on CDBaby: ruclips.net/video/Zva1NTeJLuw/видео.html

      The gold top is probably a 53 as there is no inked serial number on the headstock. The neck set angle has been increased from its debut. It has a thick neck and it feels real good in your hand. It got butchered real Les Paul style but probably not with a screw driver as Les was wont to do - a blunt one. FZ changed the machine heads for Schallers, the early M6 tombstones which look best. Mick Ekers has written extensively about it is his Zappa Gear book published late last year.
