Frank Zappa's classic 1969 album faithfully transcribed in full guitar tablature. Includes an introduction from Simpsons creator Matt Groening: ""With its angular melodies, quick change rhythms, and eccentric arrangements, Hot Rats basically invented that peculiar musical genre known as fusion.

Excellent Album, Excellent Transcriptions
16 July 2003

Format:Paperback
Ultra precise transcriptions of almost every instrument Zappa used in the recording of this landmark album, except for maybe a piano part or two. Guitar solos are amazing. If you want to learn something from the greatest guitarist ever, buy this book, then buy Apostrophe when it (hopefully) is released.

Guitar parts ONLY!

Format:Paperback
Maybe I recieved a different version of this book than the one reviewed previously, but mine is GUITAR transcriptions and TAB only!! No bass, no drums and no keyboards! I feel very misled by the description and the review. I give it three stars ONLY because it is a great album, and the music has been with me for 30 years now. But I am very disappointed in the book. As a bassist, it is useless to me.

Must be Zappa...

To address the issues mentioned: This is not advertised as a full score and it does come under the title of "Guitar Recorded Versions"... It's true that there are no bass or drum charts included, but I found most of the keyboard and horn parts are arranged for guitar(s) in this transcription. Also, the chord charts/implied harmony could be taken by keys and filled in if desired...
Overall I greatly appreciate having this classic album transcribed, especially the free-flowing guitar solos. I had a few slight issues with suggested fingerings/neck positions on a few parts, but I'll assume it's personal preference and not a fault of the publication.
Keep these books coming!
