Zoot Allures chords

Frank Zappa

Key: 

Simplify chords 

  			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

{                these are a bit of a stretch, so you could try 
{               the other voicing of the same chord I've tabbed below. 
{               You can't get the same three notes leading up to the 
{               chords, but it's easier to get the chord shape.

 Then he launches off on one of his little solos......... 
 
Just groove on G/A for 15 or twenty minutes .......
