[lodoug31]

melted srsly.

[RodJenson]

[Rustologist]

Unique, fresh and enjoyable cover!

[darkstar000]

LOVE IT! :)

[GaurasSkate]

Thanks for answer. I think you'll be world famous (not mainstream, famous rock, blues or something like that) musician. Your music feeling can't hide anymore. Please upload more covers or even better — your own songs.

[RodJenson]

@GaurasSkate Ahaha, well we can only hope. Thank you very much. I don't do very many covers, but I do have many original pieces. I've got two solo "albums" on last.fm under the name Rob Judkins, and several group "albums" under the name of The Elektrik Skuba Krew. The solo page also has a Black Napkins cover on it (although it's not particularly fantastic in my opinion). I've been lax on the solo stuff lately, but hopefully I'll be putting out a new, more guitar-oriented "album" soon :)

[GaurasSkate]

What scale you used in impov?

[RodJenson]

@GaurasSkate Typically I use a modified version of a pentatonic scale. In this case, a C# pentatonic. Nothing too flashy in and of itself, but I also add in some of the notes in the surrounding area of the scale, and on the extra background overdubs near the end I had the idea for those in my head and played them out the way I heard them. I'm not very well educated on the dots and dashes of it all, but if you'd like to know more, I'm sure I could find the appropriate terminology somewhere.

[GaurasSkate]

Well done!!! Awesome cover!! Best I've heard yet.

[JackKapral]

Now this is one helluva great cover! Very touching (:

[Marseille5]

Damnit, that was awsome ! You are a master acoustic guitar player dude. Was very tasty and full of spirit.

Good job !!

[tommytriumph1]

[igessthsisgrwnup]

[TheArbiter74]

Tasty. Not as tasty as my version, but tasty, nonetheless!!!

[RodJenson]

Thanks to all those who commented who I didn't get back to on here. Almost a thousand plays, wow. Thanks to anybody who didn't comment too, really. But I really appreciate the attention this meager audio track over a picture of Bongo Fury has gotten, so thank you all for viewing it, even if some of you didn't like it, and thank you all for commenting, it warms my heart not only to see so many supporting my cover, but to see so many supporting Zappa, the master, the genius. Thank you so much.

[aaronilai]

Really Good, Check out my cover!

[Monnya]

This is an awesome cover.

Good Job!

[aaronilai]

Wow that is awesome, great cover!!, do you have tabs? or sheet?

[RodJenson]

Ultimate Guitar or one of those undoubtedly has the main riff tab. As far as the chords, they're F#m - B - C#m

[aaronilai]

Well i was asking for the solo, it's awesome!, but im afraid you dont have the tab cause its an improvisation. =(

[RodJenson]

@aaronilai I don't have the solo tab, true. However, it's mostly an improvisation in B major, the key of the song. It's a really fun key to play in, usually yields some great improv stuff.

[RodJenson]

@RodJenson D'oh! I mistakenly said it was B Major here, it's actually C# (and I assume minor, though I mostly play in a pentatonic scale whether the song is minor or otherwise).

[theprobject]

[Carlinism]

nice job. this is great!

[timmythetard420]

had to sign in for this to comment sweet what r the chords?

[RodJenson]

I play it F#m, B, C#m, in bar chords. Not official as Zappa never really played it in chords, but it works pretty well for it.

[HARRYELLIMPIO]

Una de los mejores

[RodJenson]

[DeBesten]
