Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2005 00:18:09 -0400 From: davidarnolddean@bellsouth.net Subject: z/zappa_frank/beebop_tango.tab Artist : Frank Zappa Track : BeeBop Tango Album : Roxy & Elsewhere Joined by : George Duke, Tom Fowler, Ruth Underwood, Jeff Simmons Don Preston, Bruce Fowler, Walt Fowler, Napolean Murphy Brock, Ralph Humphrey, Chester Thompson Transcribed By : David A. Dean (davidadean@bellsouth.net) Guitar(s) : Electric (Probably his Gibson SG) Effects : Compression, Distortion, WAH Pedal, Reverb or Delay Tuning : Standard Time Signature : 12/8 Song Notes : This outlines the guitar solo Frank goes into at the end of the song. The 1st 14 minutes of the track is a satirical thing involving audience participation, and then he wraps everything up with this. The 1st 18 bars start with a standard blues intro and progression (B/E/Gb) and sounds like he's using compression and a clean amp, and some reverb or delay. He then he goes into a relatively long solo adding the WAH and probably a little distortion. Rhythm Notes : 12/8 is a compound time. 4 triplets per measure. This is like 4/4 time where each beat is divided into a triplet. "1 and 1", "2 and 2" etc. and I'm using e's and a's when further subdivision is needed like "1 e and a 1 e". I've further explained the rhythm bar at the bottom of the file. Mechanics : I'm using the standard set of mechanics with a few of my own thrown in. Please see the mechanics examples at the bottom of the page. h - hammer on p - pull off b - bend string up r - release bend / - slide up \ - slide down v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~) t - right hand tap T - left hand tab x - play note with heavy damping < - play note short bbbbb - slow bend up 2bbbb4 - strike the 2 then slowly bend to the 4 over the time on rhythm bar. rrrrr - slow release down 4rrrr2 - strike the 4 (bent 2) then slowly release to 2 over the time on rhythm bar. ''''' - Sustained Note 4''''' - Strike and sustain the 4 over the time on the rhythm bar. ''''b - Sustained/bend up 2'''b4 - strike and hold the note at 2 waiting to bend the note at the time indicated on the rhythm bar. ''''r - Sustained/release down 4'''r2 - strike and hold the bent note at 4 waiting to release the note at the time indicated on the rhythm bar. # This file is all the transcriber's own work. # If you

to show more accurately what's being played. 9b11 could be a fast bend for only a sixteenth note, or it could take an entire beat. The Rhythm bar should help to give an indication of timing. The physical length of a measure will vary to accomodate mechanics, 2 digit fret numbers, etc. but the note should appear directly under the point on the rhythm bar where it should be played. for example 10b12r10p8 looks like it takes a long time, but may only take 3/16s to play. 10b12r10p8 1--e--& 1--e--&--a--2-- - Sixteenth notes (4/4 time) 1--&--1--2--&--2 - A compound time like 12/8.
