• Song:

    Montana

  • Artist:

    Frank Zappa

  • Album:

    Over-Nite Sensation

These parts are based on the original version of Montana (no whipping 
floss here!).  I've notated the intro and the other interesting melodies 
of the tune but the highlight is the Interlude section.  While performed 
vocally on the album, it (mostly) translates well to the guitar but is  
really fun to play, so try it!  As with any TAB there is no rhythmic  
notation so you HAVE to listen to the song to get it right.  Watch out  
for the groups of five in the last bar!
