[Zappa-List] Re: Zappa transcriptions?
This is just what I recall from reading various things but there were one or two of these books of transcriptions in the 70s that I believe were produced with input from FZ, esp. as evidenced in some of the amusing annotations There's only one of those, despite the Vol. 1 in the title. It can be found on Zappateers in PDF-format: http://www.zappateers.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=3231 The one with transcriptions by Steve Vai is The Frank Zappa Guitarbook from 1982: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Frank_Zappa_Guitar_Book Both titles are getting harder to find, but I was lucky enough to score (pun intended) a copy of the Guitarbook at a record fair earlier this year. best wishes, Marco Kalnenek http://www.weirdomusic.com Weirdomusic.com PO Box 26 6400 AA Heerlen The Netherlands [EMAIL PROTECTED] For further Z-related fun, please visit http://www.thebignote.com or http://www.killuglyradio.com , thank you.Yahoo!

I was unable to find any link for the pdf on the zappateers site but I recall the cover was done by Cal Schenkle. I could'a sworn there actually was a Vol.2, but I will defer to you sir. --- In Zappa-List@yahoogroups.com, Marco Kalnenek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is just what I recall from reading various things but there were one or two of these books of transcriptions in the 70s that I believe were produced with input from FZ, esp. as evidenced in some of the amusing annotations There's only one of those, despite the Vol. 1 in the title.

Frank released(I think)two soft cover song books in the '70s. They were not nearly as detailed as The Beatles scores, but I'd love to still have them now. --- In Zappa-List@yahoogroups.com, eastcoastguyz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Years ago there was a complete Beatles transcription released. It's a music score transcribed from their recordings note for note. It's not a piano/vocal songbook. It's very interesting to look at. Was anything done for Frank Zappa's work from his recordings?

Re: [Zappa-List] Re: Zappa transcriptions?
Was this not the result of Steve Vai's transcriptions? Or did FZ poot forth some of his own work in those books? Milhouse?

Well, since you asked... ;c) This is just what I recall from reading various things but there were one or two of these books of transcriptions in the 70s that I believe were produced with input from FZ, esp. as evidenced in some of the amusing annotations (like the Little Deuce Coup / she's a dirty young mind, corrupted corroded section of Brown Shoes annotated tempo de Beach Boys). I would bet afka.net would have something about them, they have a pretty good listing of books by and about FZ and a huge collection of print interviews. --Milhouse **Life should be easier.
