^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are quite a few phrases like these with lots of notes slurred together
into a run. It's probably a lot easier to do this on a sax (as it's played on
the original) than a guitar, but you can get close on a guitar with a bit of
practice.

ORGAN PART :
------------
These are just the intro chords again, but using different inversions
for a bit of variety.
Again - bass notes are indicated by the chord names (A/B is A triad with
B bass) - but you can't easily play triads and bass notes together on one
guitar.

Bass Tablature
Peaches en Regalia
Frank Zappa (who else?)
Bass by Shuggy Otis, from the album Hot Rats, 1969
Transcribed by John Fair ( jfair@vt.edu )
Here's my best effort at the transcription of this one. This is quite a
tricky song for the bass, and I still can't play it confidently at full
speed, but what the hell. Enjoy!
4/4 104 bpm
