Decided to do an acoustic cover of this song a while back. Youtube no doubt has enough Muffin Man covers, but I figure there's no harm in throwing another up here. Hope you enjoy it.

All credit to Frank Zappa for composing the song (the solos were improvised by me, however, in true Frank fashion).

  • please can i get to know the tabs or chords?

    melted srsly.

  • @lodoug31 The chords are F#m, B, C#m. Thanks, man :)

  • 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.

  • @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 :)

see all

  • Unique, fresh and enjoyable cover!

  • LOVE IT! :)

  • @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).

  • @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.

  • What scale you used in impov?

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