Filthy Habits by Frank Zappa from the 1991 CD `You Can't Do That Onstage Anymore Vol 4' Disc 1, Track 15 5min40sec transcribed by Craig Jones (on MS Notepad) [email protected] Hi Again! Here's another FZ tune. This is the way that I play this one in my band The Zappa Instrumentaale. It's a good basic riff for a guitarist to solo over & any band can work up some hot moments with this trance-like riff. It's not all that hard to play but you will need to strech a bit in the `B' section (or finger it across 2 strings). It's played on a 5-string but I will provide alternate fingerings at the end.I would love to hear from any other FZ fans playing this stuff (live or bedroom) & would appreciate getting any other FZ TABs, either Bass or Guitar). I would also be pleased to receive any corrections. Ciao!
