5.0 out of 5 starsLong awaited Zappa Guitar Tabs
By D.O.S. on 24 Feb. 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
From Franks vast music repertoire Apostrophe is the one that has been chosen for Guitar Tab treatment (I am unaware of any others and stand to be corrected if such exist) - And what an excellent choice it is, upon entering one soon realizes that FZ's songs are accessible and playable, albeit this is no book for beginners. Many Instruments are tabbed from bass lines to marimba lines and in most places with extreme accuracy. What is notable is Franks reliance on simplistic chord backings (in some cases only one) and his reliance on extravagant melodies, what is surprising is how bluesy his playing can be. One could get lost in this book for months, it is an excellent and essential part of any guitarists arsenal.

5.0 out of 5 starsNot guitarist but collector
By Pauline Butcher Bird on 17 Jan. 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I am not a guitarist but bought this book because I have every other publication on Zappa. I tried out the melody lines on the piano and sang the words which was fun especially when trying to get the timing right. I can see how valuable this book must be to musicians who want to play Zappa's music. It is also beautifully presented so full marks to Hal Leonard Corporation.

HASH(0x91937a5c) out of 5 stars A must-have if you're a guitarist and Zappa fan 23 Nov. 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
This is a very thorough book of transcriptions from the Apostrophe album. Every guitar and vocal part from the album is included, and from what I can tell, the transcriptions are right on the money.
If you enjoy learning Zappa music on guitar, you probably like to try the non-guitar parts too. This book includes tons of marimba lines, and lots of the more prominent keyboard and horn parts too, all in both standard notation and guitar tablature. Last but not least, Jack Bruce's bass part on the title track is in here as well, solo and all. While there are Zappa albums I enjoy more than Apostrophe, there is a ton to learn from studying any of Zappa's guitar music. And this collection provides lots of of challenging, fun music to learn - I'm knee-deep in the interlude from "St. Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast" as we speak. Man, Zappa's music really is amazing! Now if we could just get a similar book for One Size Fits All or Joe's Garage...

HASH(0x921fd8a0) out of 5 stars Great album and great transcriptions 20 May 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
This tab book is definately a must have for almost any gutarist (especially a Zappa fan). The songs here are actually great lessons, since by working through the songs you get lessons in vibrato,bends,tremolo picking, wah-wah, pretty much everything that a rock guitarist needs to pracitce and know. And even better this is like a chance to get a lesson with one of the best guitarists ever . True most people dont acknowledge it (including Frank himself) but "Zappa the guitarist" was a real virtuoso guitarist and there is so much to be learned from learning some of his songs. But some of the songs here are a little hard to play, let alone "master". Which is why this is meant for "intermidate" to "advanced" guitarists. (I've been playing about six years and still stumbled on a few songs!!)
Now tab wise the book is %100 accurate. (At least as far as I can tell). Plus the tabs are super easy to read. If you have ever read a tab from " guitar world" or any other tab books you wont have any trouble here. Theres even a section that explains the symbols used. Also like mentioned every song is transcribed note for note solo for solo. It even includes horn lines, piano parts, and marimba lines arranged for guitar.
My only problems with the book are that they probably could have thrown in a few more pictures and done more detailed descriptions about how Frank got some of his guitar tones for Apostrophe. Instead of the usual "w/distortion", "w/wah-wah", or "w/delay". That and the guy that transcribed Apostrophe, Andy Aledort really should keeping going. Think of all the great Zappa albums he could tab... Zoot Allures (especially "Black Napkins") Bongo Fury ( espcially "Muffin Man") Overnite Sensation, Joe's Garage......

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Zappa did things to a guitar. Good things, be things - all captured here. It'll seem like rock and blues but pay attention to the note he plays - it's rock plus a little more.
