Just a big blow really except for a short head. It'd be nice to get some other instrumentation in here, but this is all I've got for now.

oh my !!!

It doesn't get much better than this !!!!!

I really love the sparse arrangement that let your guitarskills shine oh so brightly !!!

This is a real treat.

In many ways this is better than the original(s). You have absolute control over every note. Having played guitar some years now I know how hard it is to get every note in pitch as the guitar is not a perfect pitch instrument. You obviously know how to compensate for that !!!

Exceptionally good work Bruce !!!

this one will get many plays on my piPods and phones and ...........!!!

I'm a fan !!

My earlier comment must have been eaten up. On mobile will comment more fully later. But this is awesome.

Wow - I knew this was going to be friggin' awesome from the opening bar, and I wasn't wrong. Fab guitar sound with sublime playing. Take a bow.

Ah lovely, not a single note wasted. Lovely.

That guitar is really singing. Tasteful, toneful and dreamily perfect. It's frightening how incredible your playing is: some kind of voodoo magic.

Wow wow wow.

earlier i thought i had posted something like this.

this brings back so many happy memories. zoot allures was the first zappa album that i bought on the day it came out, in fact i pre-ordered it at my local record store. it wasn't the first zappa album i purchased i had a few but they where all pretty old. a year or so later i saw the man himself perform this at the glasgow appolo on his sheik yerbouti tour. one of the best guitarists i have ever seen.

bruce this is just perfect, great guitarist plus i know you are a great guy to boot. love it and thank you.

I've missed hearing you play like this since we've switched to acoustic. Why don't you sneak this guitar into our next gig. I'll slip off of the stage and stand in the back ... drinking music and sipping liquids. Sublime.
