Long awaited Zappa Guitar Tabs
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2014From 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.

Not guitarist but collector
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 January 2013I 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.

It's great being able to play all the riffs from Apostrophe
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2017It's great being able to play all the riffs from Apostrophe, but some of the solos have such intricate rhythms that they are pretty much impossible to reproduce unless you are exceptionally gifted.
The transcriptions are very accurate and the book is printed on high quality paper. If you'e a Zappa fan then this, and all the other Hal Leonard Zappa tab books, are a must.

Elliott Truman III5 out of 5 starsGreat book!
Reviewed in the United States on 29 November 2014Zappa 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.
