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.
Just thank you!!! Zappa Fans are rare nowadays... In my eyes, this is the very best music and very best musician/COMPOSER ever!!! Love to all Zappa fans!!
A musical savior! I had reverted back to listening to thunder over ocean waves 10 hour loops I had given up on ALL music / music burnout and now this fell into my universe like a neutron star going 💥
In 1969 I was 17 and heard some of the Mothers of Invention but I didn't pay too much attention. I don't know when I graduated to blues but this is a great set of recordings!! I'll be coming back to this often!!
What a great compilation of many of my favorites. You are helping Frank's name be remembered along with Mozart, Beethoven, and all the timeless composers that don't rely on lyrics These lyric-less instrumental solos are all I listen to anymore. Songs with words are too distracting when one is trying to focus on attention demanding tasks - Thank you SO MUCH !
The first part of Transition found it's way onto Chunga's Revenge where it is called "Twenty Small Cigars". It is one of my favorite of his jazz-inspired compositions.
I've been listening to OD1/2 almost every day since the release. Segments keep popping into my head throughout the day. People think I'm weird, but what do they know .. nothing
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.
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.
🙀 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
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!
This is fun, but jeez, some people can't separate these rehersal outtakes from a finished composition/release. They are "just" noodeling around and it was never meant to be relaesed as it is. Read up before commenting. For dedicated fans, it is fun to listen to, just to get a grip over how Frank worked and found out the pasaages he liked.
F**kem if they don't! It's just because they are gullible and don't appreciate real music and art. I'll guarantee that Frank used no computers or digital sampling to create real music. 😎
Zappa will be like JS Bach, unappreciated and unknown for decades, 50 years from now historians will realize that he was far superior as a 20th century composer. Only major dudes survive the test of time
Been into Zappa since the 70'. He could do it all & did. Not easy in this big world to find people that appreciate his music. I think it's too much music for alot of people. That's cool but they are missing out on it.
I have been trying remember your name , loved your compilations, and tonight I really needed it...I'm 76 and off to my next adventure moving to N Michigan to area I know very well and my fav place earth is but a few strokes of a paddle on the South Branch of the Au Sable River. And then heaven The Mason Tract .I"m now in lower Michigan in a blizzard lol What a nice way to say goodbye lol and Roscommon Grayling area I know is expecting 1-3 ft lol or more. I"m going to be in a lovely place meeting new people , never been a problem for me raised in the restaurant business you learn early to always give a hardy hand shake . But then where I'm going some may not be able to handle a hardy shake lol. I"m an old hippie what can I say ;lol. HAVE A HAPPY FULLINING CHRISTMAS AND AND A SAFE NEWYEARS. FROM THE OLD HIPPIE LOL
Not sure how “rare” Zappa fans are, there’s a shit load of us out here, I think the problem is that his catalog is so damn deep that it’s kind of intimidating for the uninitiated to venture into
Whenever Zappa comes up in conversation with uninitiated, I always recommend Hot Rats. If a person likes good music and guitar playing, this album will hook them.
Seit ich 14 bin höre ich zappa. Jetzt bin ich 67 und höre ihn immer noch. Hot rats. Vermutlich viele hunderte male. Das was du hier mit deiner arbeit »out of the box« gemacht hast ist wirkich großartig. Grüße von österreich. Nicht von australien. Sondern von österreich, wo mozart war. :))
Amazing addition to the Zappa listening experience, a fascinating sonic tapestry. Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing with us lucky people.
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.
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.
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
Me and my 14yr old daughter played Willie the Pimp, after my brother in law suggested listening to some Frank Zappa...I am now hooked! In the words of my 14yr old "that gnarly guitar song" has become a favorite jam!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, So damn good!! Thanks for this gift to the comunity man. We hopefully will be listening to this masterpiece for a another century... Always happy to see there're still people appreciating this with every cell of their body... Thank you again.
Hello br1, I just heard the fantastic 6 cd/3 concert box set 'Erie'. I'm usually late to the game on new releases but I got to hear this one the other day and it's a goodie! You construct the BEST commercials for Frank's albums on the internet... period! Your compilations, extractions, and Genetic Modifications are second to none! You make the muffin better. Stay well friend!
THANK YOU FOR THIS ! ! ! This is awesomeness,,,exactly what I was needing at the right time brother. This is making me want to pick up my Gibson SG lol
Same. My Les Paul is sitting in a corner about 20 feet away.......not to be corny, but when I hear some musicians, I don't feel like playing---the techniques make me sad because I can't play well, and some good music just doesnt hit me ....but Zappa---even though I can't come close to his technique, he truly played from his inner self-we are hearing the man himself, so to emulate that part of it anyway with my lousy playing....that part I can do. So, Im not trying to play his stuff because I cant, just try to pour myself out. After 20 minutes of playing, I feel great, just relaxed.
Hot Rats and Apostrophe' are my two fav Zappa albums. I think you did a bang up job. It's been years since I've listened to them, but I think is more coherent than some of his official guitar only releases. I have to wonder. Would he have loved this? Or hated it? Would he have acted indignant, affronted, but secretly enjoyed it? Or at least respected it? We all know what a control freak he was. Would he have mellowed on that had he lived to today? Would he have grown to appreciate other people wanting to put their personal touches on his masterpieces, incorporate their art in to his genius? Would he accept as a sign of respect? Or would he have only gotten more stubborn, bullheaded, and derided anyone who dare to alter or adulterate his "perfect" compositions? There's no answer of course. But nothing has ever made me ask that question before your project here, and it was as fun to think about as it is to listen to this composition. You nailed it.
BR man! What can I express that hasn't already been said of your time and dedication. Let me just add one more heartfelt 'thank you!' All the best to you.
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”.
Hot Rats is one of my fave FZ albums (OSFA is tops) and I think this is even better. Meat n' potatoes music soaking in such groovy guitar gravy. One legacy's shoes that will never be (ful)filled unless this is a mighty long resurrection period. Zappa saves.
Started back in 68, will never stop listening to frank the mothers and all. Incedible musicians and music stratospheric.thankyou for the upload. PEACE!
Thank you sir, you are a genius of your own to be able to flow with the whole project and deliver this to our ears, senses in my case, I’m sure I’m speaking for many more that feel how I feel right now! Shout out to you and all present listening when we and wherever in their own moment of space and time!! Whatever you are rolling on my fella whoever reads I send my love to you, you are not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had so many mental gaps after I read the first that came to mind that I had to edit lol common it happens to you too when sober or intoxicated 😂
He died way too young....he's greatly appreciated now here in the USA but he was deeply respected by Vasclav Havel and served as a US diplomat to the Czech Republic
27mn of Willie the Pimp ? WTF ? Even the spotify extended version is not that long. That's so good !!! I'm always amazed of how this man was a cornucopia.
i got out of the army and vietnam january 1971.....bought a motorcycle, freak out album, good shrooms and the rest is history.....i think i might like EVERYTHING he has done...mid 80s i changed from vinyl to cassette and put all his stuff in the order i liked...still have the tapes and some cds....love his music, attitude, fellow artists...when i heard he was going to run for president in 1992 i wanted to be his texas committee leader but alas he had a more important gig....saw him live at the armadillo world headquarters in austin texas december of 1980......truly enjoyed growing up aside him....my c.b. handle was waka jawaka....
@Tim Hawkins - This is great music. Maybe someone doesn't like FZ. Any preference is legitimate, but then what are these people looking for on my channel? Do they think they can find Lady Gaga's latest single?
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 .....
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
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 RUclips.
When I was in college Zappa did an album and tour called Shut Up And Play Your Guitar. Best concert I ever saw and I saw the Kinks and The Who and Heart and Van Halen.
Zappa did everything great: Compose, vocal, host EMC, conduct--but. His guitar. His guitar is going to kill your mamma. His guitar is much higher on the list than is generally listed about all-time "greats." He did much that pleases me, but little more than something like his guitar solo on the 79 live bootleg "Wind Up Shitting in a Gas Station" during the song "The Torture Never Stops." If only that guitar would never stop. This compilation really expresses the feeling. Thanks.
It is another beautiful day for you to share your love of the genius Frank Zappa. I, as well as many fans, look so forward to this and thank you for your ingenuity and time in compiling these great works. Hats off to you 🎩🎸🍻
Hello all I have been off the internet for a few months and god I missed being able to hear Frank and my other interests. Moved to a lovely retirement community in the woods I love it. but so far haven't found any old hippies in hiding lol. I"m proud I lived and grew up into this mostly happy, fun minded...have to Great Nieces I told them both I want to get silly with them a 2 and 3 yr old lol. So far it's worked.

To say he was prolific, is a bit of an understatement! The guy could turn out genius like turning on a tap.
What a great compilation of many of my favorites. You are helping Frank's name be remembered along with Mozart, Beethoven, and all the timeless composers that don't rely on lyrics
These lyric-less instrumental solos are all I listen to anymore. Songs with words are too distracting when one is trying to focus on attention demanding tasks - Thank you SO MUCH !
Good job! Zappa era de fato um guitarrista virtuoso e diferenciado. Congratulations!!!
Frank the greatest off all times!!!
The first part of Transition found it's way onto Chunga's Revenge where it is called "Twenty Small Cigars". It is one of my favorite of his jazz-inspired compositions.

FRANK ZAPPA GENIUSZ GENIUSZ GENIUSZ nad GENIUSZAMI KOSMOS KOCHANI na zawsze dziękuję BARDZO
The main man... again.
Great stuff.
Zappa has left behind him such an array of music for us, it's just incredible.......the guy lived to play music.
... I am a fossil from the 1950s ... and still passionately into FZ's music, saw him live 2 times ...
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.
100% plus he always assembled such a fantastic bunch of musicians!
@@scottsheehy3955 I was going to mention the all star lineup that just wanted to play with Frank. Yes!
Shut up and play yer guitar this is zappa living on
Love Zappa what a musician I've been listening since I was 12 I'm 66 now. He is a master rest in peace

Commercial advertizing should be on the psycical terror list and should be ponished by death sentense.
That's you tube trying to get you to pay for commercial free.
He's telling us a story, pulling us in, gifting some, who dare to go. I will play him loud and dance in yellow snow.
Frank-amente la guitarra de este señor actúa sobre mi como la flauta del manejador de serpientes, me hipnotiza, el quizás no lo sabia y falleció.
damn man what an incredible session of jam. imagine if someone did this non stop at a concert, i think the world would just be over after that.
Br1tag : thanks (once again) for this new "incentive". GREAT !
He died way too young....he's greatly appreciated now here in the USA but he was deeply respected by Vasclav Havel and served as a US diplomat to the Czech Republic
Wait what? I keep meaning to read up on Zappa. He’s a genius ❤
27mn of Willie the Pimp ? WTF ? Even the spotify extended version is not that long. That's so good !!! I'm always amazed of how this man was a cornucopia.
i got out of the army and vietnam january 1971.....bought a motorcycle, freak out album, good shrooms and the rest is history.....i think i might like EVERYTHING he has done...mid 80s i changed from vinyl to cassette and put all his stuff in the order i liked...still have the tapes and some cds....love his music, attitude, fellow artists...when i heard he was going to run for president in 1992 i wanted to be his texas committee leader but alas he had a more important gig....saw him live at the armadillo world headquarters in austin texas december of 1980......truly enjoyed growing up aside him....my c.b. handle was waka jawaka....
i got home to kcmo 1-7-71 from germany orded a new Harley & quite GM.--- What a (long strange trip its been) -was into Frank in 68'
104 dislikes.. WTF is wrong with these people?? I love this!!
@Tim Hawkins - This is great music. Maybe someone doesn't like FZ. Any preference is legitimate, but then what are these people looking for on my channel? Do they think they can find Lady Gaga's latest single?
chaotic evil
maravilloso , exquisito amigo te eres un héroe mis respeto saludos greetings from Peru!!!!
He spoke, through his guitar-medium.
Ya for sure he spoke and he had si many to say.
And he spoke...Frankly! 🙂
Turned on to Frank in 1970 find we ARE a rare breed...new appreciation is known though!
THIS will teach my neighbor a lesson!! 👿😈😎😂
You got that right? I hit her up today.
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 .....
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
Great job, this just popped up YT and i'm glad it did.
Rare not in my household, beer n zappa parties 😊
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 RUclips.
This ain't your kids B.S. rap crap digital drum crap. It's the real deal! ROCK ON!!!✌😎
Central scrutinizer approved
Yessir!
Zappa is the best free guitarist ever 🎸🎸🎸
I love Frank Zappa's music! This is great box friend! Energy flows here. Good job
This and a nice large whisky, my evening is made, thank you for posting this absolute gem 👍😎
BRILLIANT and THANK YOU for posting an IMPRESSIVE Frank Zappa collection.
When I was in college Zappa did an album and tour called Shut Up And Play Your Guitar. Best concert I ever saw and I saw the Kinks and The Who and Heart and Van Halen.
FRANK ZAPPA IS A MUSIC WONDER OF THE WORLD! I JUST CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS BOX.
Dweezil please have a child and teach it guitar
... like you and your dad play... hurry they are destroying the rock and roll.
Zappa did everything great: Compose, vocal, host EMC, conduct--but. His guitar. His guitar is going to kill your mamma. His guitar is much higher on the list than is generally listed about all-time "greats." He did much that pleases me, but little more than something like his guitar solo on the 79 live bootleg "Wind Up Shitting in a Gas Station" during the song "The Torture Never Stops." If only that guitar would never stop.
This compilation really expresses the feeling. Thanks.
I SAW FZ IN STOCKHOLM SWEDEN SKANSEN 1973, HE WAS INCREDIBLE FANTASTIC, I LOVE THIS...., THANKYOU..!!!
Frank zappa was incredible, one of the best, smartest and most talented guitarists in the world
It is another beautiful day for you to share your love of the genius Frank Zappa. I, as well as many fans, look so forward to this and thank you for your ingenuity and time in compiling these great works. Hats off to you 🎩🎸🍻
Hello all I have been off the internet for a few months and god I missed being able to hear Frank and my other interests. Moved to a lovely retirement community in the woods I love it. but so far haven't found any old hippies in hiding lol. I"m proud I lived and grew up into this mostly happy, fun minded...have to Great Nieces I told them both I want to get silly with them a 2 and 3 yr old lol. So far it's worked.
Is this a jam or what? Is he talking thru the instrument? The answer is yes.
I love the smell of Hot Rats in the morning...
That movie ID...
