Frank Zappa "Zomby Woof"

[lnventlve]

Awesome playing, very much in Zappa's style. I'd love to hear the two of you jam out.

[Kev3542]

@lnventlve

Thanks very much. As for me and FZ jamming out, I wouldn't have minded hearing that myself...

[Keepsu]

Outstanding!

[toelsewhere]

liked this too. you're pretty versatile.

[maxvitali1]

awesome playing, love the false harmonics, check out my zappa apostrophe era inspired track done on logic. Cheers.

[Kev3542]

@maxvitali1

Thanks. Devil Monkey Shoes is absolutely outstanding.

[gagsmedia]

I love this....I really do...Its got so much attitude and musicality.Is that going through a G2?

[Kev3542]

@gagsmedia

Thanks...it's going through a G2.1u.

[MrAlvatroz]

[thesmay]

Very nice!

[IncaRoads1808]

Screw the 'eyebrows'...

You gave it all its body hair!

Love it!

[Kev3542]

@IncaRoads1808

Thanks very much indeed - Zomby Woof is one of my all time favourite Zappa tracks.

[VittorioSergi]

stunning!



[lefthandpath314]

I really like your playing on this man. Great idea of yours to loop a few bars to solo over. Inspiring! Thanks again.

[Kev3542]

@lefthandpath314

Thanks very much...and thanks for subscribing, too.

[qixismygame]

great stuff yeah - technologically inspiring loop wise no .

[sarinapaparone]

Great work! Tough track to do.

[sweetchildonline]

where did you get the guitar free track?

[Kev3542]

@sweetchildonline

I used Steinberg Wavelab to loop the opening bars of the solo section of Zomby Woof from one of the YCDTOSA albums - if you'd like a copy, send me your email address in a private message to my Youtube account and I'll email it back to you.

[sweetchildonline]

@Kev3542 great idea i'll send it to you now

[GameCherryDotCom]

sick!!!

[roryrockssocks]

Hey man, you Zappa stuff is really intense!

Definitely some great playing!

I feel rude to ask, but could you send me in the right direction to get the backing track you're using for this?

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

[laquil1]

ALSO, think you may be able to post a lesson on how to play the repeated riffs in this song? I just can't seem to get them right no matter how many times I go back to it!

[Kev3542]

@laquil1

Thanks for taking an interest...if you give me a timing on the video, I'll see what I can do.

[laquil1]

Shit man. Well done! That harmonic stuff is fantastic. It makes me want a whammy bar, but I have a Les Paul!

[DDowza]

you should shave your beard like zappas, you would be intense. honestly you've inspired me to start playing more of zappas stuff, your tone is amazing.

[Kev3542]

@DDowza

Thanks very much. You can't beat a bit of Zappa.

[leemansnake]

@kev3542 cheers mate :D

[leemansnake]

hey man, geat vid and u sound awesome, just wonderin which pickups ur usin in that strat? :)

[Kev3542]

@leemansnake

Thanks very much. The guitar is a Fender Strat Plus De Luxe and came with the following pickups as standard - red Fender-Lace sensor in the bridge position, a silver Fender-Lace sensor in the middle and a blue Fender-Lace sensor in the neck.

[ZZombyWooff]

Fuckign awesome solo. Check my politically active music. I miss Frank. He could say and express this all more fluently: "Bilderberg Man" from my profile.

[Kev3542]

@ZZombyWooff

Thanks. Your "Bilderberg Man" video is excellent - and some great guitar playing on there, too.

[PGROSYE02]

where did you get the backing track?

[Kev3542]

@PGROSYE02

I made it myself by taking the version of Zomby Woof from (I think) YCDTOSA Vol. 1 and looping the opening empty bars of the guitar solo section in Steinberg Wavelab.

[joemiz]

you start FZ but you continue like stive vai

[fistacorpse]

i wish i could make a strat sound like that.

[Kev3542]

Thanks very much, Fistacorpse (Fistacorpse? WTF??)

[TheKunig]

thats amazing ......

[ketchupisevil]

What? No cigarette in the headstock?

[KeeleyElectronics]

As usual Kevin you're such a blast to listen to. I think this is a great video because it shows more of what I think your style is instead of a strict Zappa copy. Great job my friend!

[Kev3542]

@KeeleyElectronics

Thanks, Robert - it's very kind of you to say so.

[tarzappa]

this fella can whip it good....under the right stars this guy could take everybody on a long ride...I would love to hear you do some other Zappa solos as well as your own stuff

[nineinchnikk]

Go on son!

[AtmaRising]

wow!!!  rippin!!!

[lovepeacegun]

Very good...

[leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeo]

Great Tone X)

amazing !!!

[RobjeBreda]

Terribly great! :-o

[SteveSparx]

very nice

[a1gold174]

I really like this but the over-usage of tremolo, legato, and pinch harmonics take way from it.

[ketchupisevil]

That was just down right amazing

[Kev3542]

Thanks very much...and thanks for subscribing, too.

[ThreeLeggedMongoose]

from a fellow zappa influenced guitarist - AWESOME

[Kev3542]

Thanks very much. I checked out your videos too and I'm very impressed. Your tone and playing are both outstanding.

[justanotherbrick]

Thank You!!

[GreggaryPeccary]

Nice!

[rickijake7080]

Damn!!! That's some S#*t Hot playin' son;ya sound like a cross between FZ,Vai,& Steve Luke!

[onkel44lekno]

Great! Very good playing. Lace Sensors are really good single-coil pickups. Just out of curiosity what models do you use?

[Kev3542]

Thanks. I've got a red Lace Sensor in the rear position, a silver one in the middle and a blue one at the neck - the guitar came that way as standard when I bought it back in 1991.

[strav12]

OMG! Kev! That was almost awreety awrighty down right NASTY - still a very clean bluesy sound going on - the last 45 seconds reminded me of Frank's impro on the title track from 'Them or Us' - and to think you used to be such a nice boy! Nice to see you just slightly turbo charged here - waiting for full throttle to commence...!

[toysflavor]

Nice Wild Sound!! I like it!!

[korkars]

Very, but very good! Bravo!

[mecha890]

the pup covers do any good?

[Kev3542]

They're not actually pickup covers as such - the pickups are Fender-Lace sensors, so they don't have any pole pieces.

[masonwrestler3]

haa swweett
