Song Title: Echidna's Arf (Of You) Artist: Frank Zappa ---------------------------------------------- Echidna's Arf (Of You) by Frank Zappa from the 1974 album `Roxy & Elsewhere' transcribed by Craig Jones (on MS Notepad) good_king_zog@msn.com.au Hi peoples! Hmm...no Zappa here yet - but there is now. This is the way that I play this one in my band The Zappa Instrumentaale. It's not all that hard to play but what might trip you up is the tempo that the notes are played at (especially the quintuplets at the end). Watch out for time signature changes! I would appreciate any correspondence from FZ fans (especially other FZ TABs, either Bass or Guitar) &, of course, corrections are most welcome.
