The Frank Zappa Guitar Book

The Frank Zappa Guitar Book

The Frank Zappa Guitar Book is a book of musical transcriptions of some of Frank Zappa's guitar solos. The Frank Zappa Guitar Book was distributed by The Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation in 1982, and is out of print as of now. The book was transcribed by Steve Vai. Vai has talked about some of his experiences while transcribing this book: "Frank gave me these two cassettes filled with wild guitar playing, some of which was released on the Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar records, and some of which has never been released. And the more I transcribed, the more he piled the stuff on. At the time, I was getting paid $10 a page, and it would take me three days to do one page!"
