I think there's already a version of this at Nevada. My tab is quite
similar in terms of the notes used, but the strings and fret numbers 
I use are quite different. I think this way it's a lot easier to play
it so you can leave the notes to sustain a little.

This is based more on the live versions of the track than the studio
version.

There's one bit which is quite hard to pull off using just one guitar
- if you have a bass and a guitar you can split the part up to make it
work, but if you're just playing on your own it's a bit tricky so
I've tabbed an alternative part for these shapes - It just uses an
alternative shape for the same chord - it isn't exactly what's on the
record, but it works well and is nice and easy to play.
For this bit I've used curly brackets { to indicate the alternative 
lines of TAB - the top line is the 'true' line, the bottom line is
the easier one.



/  -  slide up
\  -  slide down
h  -  hammer on
p  -  pull off


  let notes sustain ........

             play this using the first finger
            to bar across the 6th fret, then you
            can use the tip of the first finger
            to dampen the A string

FRANK ZAPPA - Zoot Allures

This is the basic arrangement for the header of Zappa's ZOOT ALLURES. This
is most like the original Zoot arrangement heard on You Can't Do That On
Stage Anymore Vol3.

Notes: 
-The opening notes with the open A-string should be left to ring.
-The area between the double lines is repeated. 
-The dots above certain chords means play staccato.
- ' x\ ' means slide down the neck.

Frank also does many different filler riffs during various sections. A
common one that he does during the bit marked with ' * ' is like this:

------------------------------!
-8-8-8-7-5-5-5h7-5h7-8p7-5-7--!
-7-7-7-7-5-5-5h7-5h7-7---5-7--!
-7-7-7-7-5-5-5h7-5h7-7---5-7--!
-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---5-------5-5--!
------------------------------!

Anyway play this with a guitar on the edge of feedback and listen to some
of the great versions Frank does of it to get the timing and phrasing
right.
