Dweezil definitely has some good Jazz chops as well as "tapping techniques" 'influenced from (his childhood idol... Eddie Van Halen. he is a great guitarist. However, i saw him on the Jay Leno show recently with Alice Cooper doing "Schools Out For Summer" and i thought at the time that Dweezil was using the song as a showcase for his chops..doing tapping fills with every open space that he could take advantage of, it threw Alice off his rhythm....Wanker
@ottoAmoultos Ever hear his solo on Pygmy Twylyte? Actually all his solo's on the "Return of the son of.." cd are nuts! Frank would be very proud of him! EASILY, one of the best guitarists out there today!
@ottoAmoultos Average player-sorry they don't bother taking on tough FZ songs. Dweezil could have stuck with easier, poppier songs to tour with, but he mixed in some tough ones like this. I saw him trade licks with Steve Vai, and he held his own (his phrases and tone actually upstaged Steve-no mean feat). If you're tired of him, it ain't because he's average-that's just a ridiculous comment. And why the fuck complain about the guitars he plays-a bit of jealously perhaps?
@ottoAmoultos Sorry, you're right, just to be clear I wasn't making an argument, I was stating a fact. You said that he's an average player. This is clearly wrong, ergo you are an idiot.
Watch the Zappa Plays Zappa DVD where they play some of the hardest pieces available - Inca Roads, Andy, Zombie Woof, The Black Page #2, Echidna's Arf (Of You). Watch his beautifully phrased solo on Black Napkins. He's much more than average.
@AustinTassletine When somebody says sth about someone else, expresses his personal opinion,ergo there is no clear truth about what is nice or not in music. From your tone I suppose that you are trying to start silly fights or you are very small and you have not developed conversation skills yet. So I'm not going to respond to you again and I wish you will not refer to me too. Enjoy the music you like and let others to do so.
@ottoAmoultos You presented your "opinion" as a fact. If you'd said "I don't think..." or "In my opinion..." maybe you'd hava case, but you didn't. My conversation skills are fully developed, thanks. I wouldn't say I'm small. I would say I'm about average size, but I'm not sure you would agree, seeing as your definition of average is very obviously very different to everyone else's.
No doubt that Frank could've not played this for years and just picked up a guitar and played this (and even notice that in the video Dweezil says it wasn't normally played on guitar)
@kilobyte111 Frank never played this on guitar. It was usually played on synths or percussion. Frank also played very little between recordings and tours, so would have to "redevelop his callouses", as he put it.
@hugeshows...that's what i said... If anything, the arrangement is composed of using hybrid(combining) scales..i hear Dorian - Mixolydian ,fourths,fifths and sixth intervals and even some passing Melodic Minor Modes. The Melodic Minor scales are very abstract sounding modes that are used by jazz musicians to get that "playing out" kind of vibe. I have been foolin' around with the guitar for close to thirty years and have respect for the Zappa"s...so fuck off.
Those aren't "scales". I just love it when hacks try to diminish the accomplishments of serious players such as Dweezil Zappa, and by extension, his father in some sort of effort to make themselves feel better about their own lackluster playing. I'll bet that you couldn't decipher the key he's playing in, much less count in seven. So do yourself a favor and try to LEARN from what you don't understand rather than showing your ignorance by insulting it.
whats the big deal about doing scales what if jimi and stevie didit go to guitar center and listen to the kids today not one orginal thought between them
If you watch Dweezil do the run slowly, he holds the seventh note an extra beat so it becomes an eight. When he speeds up to the tempo of the original run, he drops the sustain off so it becomes a true seven. Any 7 beat is going to be subdivided into a group of 3 and 4 ... or maybe 5 and 2 if you're really weird.
Counting in seven is really easy. It's just a 4/4 plus a 3/4. Or a 3/4 and a 4/4. But don't do what Dweezil suggests and count out to "seven." Seven has two syllables. Count out to "sev ..." then hit the one. Or do it in French.
Listen to it on the FZ album 'the Best Band you never heard in your Life' it does sound insane. Apparently the Auditioning Keyboardists for ZPZ had only 3 days to learn both Inca Roads and the Black Page, and they weren't giving the Music at all. Must have been tough.
(English Translation) Dweezil, with his brother Ahmet and his mother Gail, is gearing up for a tour in homage of his father, Frank Zappa, which will come to France next November. The virtuoso guitarist gave us an exclusive guitar lesson, sharing with us two musical phrases drawn from his father's celebrated standard 'Inca Roads' as well as a series of "wicked" warm-up exercises. Anxiously anticipating Dweezil's fourth solo album? Just wait until next year.
(translation cont'd) News: Dweezil and Ahmet Zappa will be at the Zenith in Paris on November 7, 2005, to put on the show Zappa Plays Zappa, with many surprise guests.
cal, it is not simply a chromatic scale. first thing to know (except for the "septuplets from hell" reprise, which is all septuplets in in 4 4 time) each 7 notes represents a bar (7 16 time at 120 bpm). the first 9 bars are in Lydian mode, key changes each bar: F, D, F, D, F, D, F, D then G. the next 7 bars are in Dorian or Minor mode (take your pick, since it is a partial scale), key changes each bar: C#, D, B, Bb, C, D, E. then the last two bars are in 4 4 time. hope this helps!
Jesus. I think I understand what you mean. So basically after every few notes Zappa changes modes AND keys? I'm not sure how this will help me play this damn song but you sure did help me understand why Zappa's stuff is so damn complex. Haha.
Cal, that is correct! The first bar is in F and the (climbing) notes are B C D E F G A (which is Lydian mode). The second bar is in D and the (descending) notes are B A G# E D C# A (which is also Lydian mode). I would post all of the notes here, but the YouTube company computer processor doesn't seem to want to allow it. I don't use my Channel on here but if you message me, I can e-mail you the notes and/or attach a PDF file where I have tabbed this part of the song using tablature software.
Thank you both. The key thing in all FZ's playing - solo or most of his instrumental composing - is the tonal atmosphere he creates with chords AND modes. His solos are tonaly quite stable and the story comes from sound and rhythm.
gurra9, it is actually both. In the song 'Inca Roads' (from the must-have CD 'One Size Fits All'), starting at about 6:05, this "theme" is played in 7 16 time at about 122 bpm, but in the reprise at about 7:52, the same notes are played really fast in septuplets in 4 4 time. In concert, Dweezil actually plays the septuplet part (written for marimba) on guitar.
gurra9, you should see the song originally being laid down live in 1974 on KCET TV Los Angeles in 'The Dub Room Special' with George Duke on lead vocal and keys and Ruth Underwood on vibes, marimba and percussion. (Frank Zappa's guitar solo that ends up on the album was taken from a separate live show in Helsinki.) Speaking of your neighbor, Finnish Zappa Tribute does an excellent cover of this song.
although i would be guilty of not caring about dweezil's original music, he is absolutely more than capable of shredding up on his dad's tunes.
frank was a genius, and seeing as i was only 7 years old when he died, i am eternally grateful to dweezil for letting me see some sick musicians perform his music live (twice and counting).
Sure he may not be the guitarist his dad was but in some ways he is better technically than dad was. boy that is one nice guitar! I wish I could meet him one day. He seems like such a nice guy. he is my son's hero!
You have no idea how much this one riff influenced me. I only had an audio transcription of it, I had never heard of frank zappa. I loved the tone and I loved the music. I made learning this one riff my summer objective (This being the thought of somebody who had been playing for about a year), and promptly saw the zappa plays zappa 2006 tour. I also loved the tone and put a P90 on my SG. I didnt know of a video of it existed - thanks for uploading the clip that changed my look at music
I met Dweezil on St Patrick's Day in Chicago in 1994(a few months after his father passed away). He was down to earth, really laid back and cool. Going to see ZPZ in Chicago in Oct. I have tickets to the soundcheck !!
well all of you complaining should understand that this aint a scale exercice its piece of music written by one of the most genious composer of 20th century. i believe Zappa had a more mathematical way of approach when he composed. i know that when he improvised he was always thinking about mathematical formula. Dweezil was a shitty guitarist then but if you listen to zappa plays zappa shits you can see obviously that in less than 3 years he became a fantastic guitar player.
wow u guys think this is shit?!!? well umm u kno he had to learn a new picking style to play this right?? this actually really hard becuz u go from the frank gambale style picking to alternate picking which is really hard to do...sooo quit h8ing and take notes..cuz this guy is actually very skilled! plus it's very musical considering he actually knos what he's doin!
Yeah... just came from the Mike Keneally Inca Roads video, and I must say, with all respect... Dweezil can't even come close in style... although Dweezil sure does have a great technique.
@funkitup4ya Music is written mathematically.. and if you think Dweezil Zappa makes the 'stupid people look smarter' by saying the lick is written in groups of 7 just makes you look really dumb. You don't have to have a Bachelor's degree to count fucking music. It also wasn't even that well played. Haha.
