(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.

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!

@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.

@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 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.

@ottoAmoultos You're an idiot.

@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.

@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?

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
