Can anyone tell me somthing about the FZ guitar book?
Songs in the book?
Most important: does it have tablature?
I cannot read music, but I sure can do something with this book
if there's also tablature.

Thanx,

Jeroen

The FZ guitar books does not contain any tablature. It consists mostly of guitar solos from The Shut Up 'n' Play Yer Guitar albums, Joe's Garage, Sheik Yerbouti, and a couple of others. The solos were transcribed by Steve Vai and some of them include the drum parts. This book is imho, strictly for technically proficient readers who have monster guitar chops. I love it, it's a way of life!

You may want to try and get a hold of the April '94 issue of Guitar World magazine, it features a very good article on Frank and a guitar lesson on his playing style complete with tablature.
