Actually, and I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that the whole ‘thing’ behind the guitar and shut up n’ play yer guitar albums is that the backing music was written to the guitar solos. I remember reading somewhere (where I couldn’t tell you because I have so much zappa stuff, that it would be impossible to pin point, but I almost want to tell you to check the liner notes of shut up n’ play) that he was going for a new idea in writing by having the guitar solos and then writing music to accompany the solos (pretty damn creative approach imho)…which brings us to the whole…what came first, the chicken or the egg? Or in this case…what came first, the solo or the band n’ a box track? And for those of you looking to check out zappa, but have no clue where to start…I got hooked from apostrophe/overnight sensation, but still cling to we’re only in it for the money as my personal fav!
