" The greatest composer of the 20th century didn't need a wig, and had a sense of humor you could really dig. He composed complex and beautiful Melodies played by the greatest musicians ever in a band. He played loud Rock guitar like no SOB can, and always spoke His mind like a real man. His name is Frank Zappa, and He was an American." td
The ultimate breakdown of Frank right there. Thanks for sharing that!
@@guitarmeetsscience that is exactly what I wanted to do with the fewest words. I have written thousands of memes and have written things and created original quotes about music more than any other subject. Frank has always been my favorite and I was fortunate enough to see him five times including Steve Vai rookie tour where they both sat in chairs and just jammed.. thank you for your content.. I learned quite a lot of things I didn't know about Frank especially in the early days.. if you want give me your email address and I will share some real gems, they will be yours to use. Music is the best.
@@guitarmeetsscience thank you for sharing your content, music is the best.
Great document of a true musical genius! I have been a lifelong fan and continue to be enthralled by his albums. Awesome work Jimmy! Rock on brother!! 👋👋👋🤘🤘🤘
Thanks brother. Been a huge Frank fan as well, glad you liked it. Keep on rocking Hugh! 🤘🤘
A True Master of his Art......RIP Frank
Frank really was - I don't think people picked up on a lot of his perfectionism behind the scenes. He brought out the best and everybody around him!
He had me at Freak Out. I saw him live many times. I am a big fan.
Oh yeah! He has such a varied body of work - This one was hard to do considering all that he did in his life. The guy was brilliant!
Saw Frank at the Beaux Arts in Brussels in 1971 with Flo and Eddie, my first concert. I was hooked. Saw him twice afterwards, bought a ton of his albums. GREAT video by the way. Loved your Danny Gatton one too.
Thank you so much man! That had to have been awesome to see him live. Shamefully so far all of the people I've covered I've never had the opportunity to see live. I guess it's a bit of a vicarious thing haha. Plus I just love the stories from folks like yourself coming in talking about when they saw them. I appreciate the kind words - high five over the miles
Frank and all the musicians that played with him.. The Best♥️
Zappa was a genius 😊
Oh yeah he definitely was!
Frank Zappa. You either were a fan fanatical... or you just didn't get it. Regardless, there was no denying his indelible presence, & his unique musical style will be remembered.

Thank you brother 🙏🙏
Help I'm a rock.
Whatever happened to Ruth Underwood?
She didn't exactly retire, but post-Zappa her musical work rate declined to Scott Walker-esque levels. (Her particular "difficult years" being the stint in Ambrosia).
If you had one question to ask Frank Zappa what would it be?
"What was it you would have done musically, had you lived beyond 1993?"
How did you develop that crazy picking style on the neck?
@guitarmeetsscience Frank studied classical, jazz, rock, fusion, etc. and then created music his way, keep on keeping on learning and expressing yourself and the genuine magical answer to your question is "take lessons and practice practice practice"🎵 🎵 🎵
@@madmusicianmagicianabsolutely spot on!
@guitarmeetsscience what would be another good question you'd have for Frank?
I'd like to know where that IQ statement came from. I've searched many times for that information without success.
Pretty good doc, although there were several mispronunciations, and I would have liked to have seen. the video more closely match the narration instead of random clips.
First off Thanks for some extremely valuable feedback. Honestly I'm pretty new to the whole documentary thing. It seems to be a much more comfortable format than a lot of the stuff I've done in the past. With that said I don't claim to be an old pro at it by any stretch. As far as where the IQ statement came from, multiple sources on Google probably dubious sources at best, but that's about all I've had to draw from - though his IQ has been storied to be that high from all the talk I remember since I was young. And yes it was always that number popping up in Google searches. That's the best I had to work with so that's what I went with. Don't claim it's the best method, but I did what I could in that regard. Also, you bring up a good point about the little collage that I put together. I kind of wanted to cover all parts of his career, but yes there are certain parts where it is definitely better to have it more tied to the particular period that is being mentioned especially since this is a chronological story. I will take that into account, and I also won't do such damn long ones lol. This one was a freaking bear to do. I really do appreciate your honest and candid feedback though - it really does help quite a bit!
@guitarmeetsscience I do appreciate your hard work. Anyone that wants to bring light to the Meistro's life is ok in my book!
@@GoodCorporateRobot Right on! And thank you again - that is some great feedback you provided and it will be applied in upcoming work for sure. I wish more people would do that to be honest.
"Genius is not a quotient, either high or low, it's always odd, and threatens the status quo. Genuis has no friends, but many a foe. Genius is unafraid to play the clown in a show, for genius is confidence, without bravado or ego." td
Pronounced Edgar Varess or Varez
Thanks Leslie. Yeah I caught some hell for that quite a few times lol. I've gotten better at checking pronunciations lately This is one of my earlier works.
That's cool dude. I like the one Steve Vai Muther what was the rest again?
17:03 The police tempting and encouraging someone to commit a crime, and then arresting them, is immoral.
Absolutely 100% correct! I'm glad you caught that - would they pulled on Frank really totally should have been illegal. It was definitely immoral for sure.
I liked some of Frank Zappa's music. Apostrophe being my favorite. But in interviews he basically would claim that we were all stupid while he was a genius then release just plain stupid songs like Disco Boy, Dancing Fool, Valley Girl etc. Nowhere the stuff he had done in the early 70s. If it was a joke l didn't get it as he just became more annoying shit on the radio
That's a good take - while he was revered so much in the tight-knit music community, I think for the most part the general public just kind of had enough at some point. That's why that quote stuck out to me so I put it on the thumbnail. That was just his mindset apparently
