The Circular Motion (Zappa-inspired blues rock guitar solo improvisation)

Published 2023-04-03
Zappa jams. Bluesy guitar solo improvisation (in E Aeolian & Minor Blues) on a backing track loosely based on Frank Zappa’s Nanook Rubs It from the famous Yellow Snow saga from the Apostrophe (') album. The best way to listen to this exploration is through speakers or headphones.

Great backing track from Now You Shred:    • Nanook Blues Jam | Frank Zappa Style ...  
Different key than the FZ original which is in Eb.

Thanks a lot to Frank Zappa for all the awesome music he has given us!

Guitar: Charvel 1978
Amplifier: Fender Champion 40
Built-in effects: Gain and a tiny little bit Delay
Effect devices: Cry Baby Wah

Playing the backing track with: HP laptop with external Herman Kardon speakers
Recorded live with: cell phone Samsung Galaxy A5
It's that simple. Therefore the sound quality is not the best. Just like my guitar playing technique...lol.
