Guitar contains some killer live solos deliveredthrough the years by the avant-garde
maestro, Frank Zappa. Fans already got the Shut Up 'N Play Your Guitar trilogy to
appreciate Zappa's prowess, and it stands as a much better document than this. The
problem here is that, naturally, the focus is given to the guitar. Thetrue genius of Zappa
was his ability to find and use skilled musicians to craft weird yet amazing tunes where
every instrument could shine. Here, however, it's all about Frank. That's not necessarily a
bad thing, but it is when most of the solos are average.Zappa and guitar afficiandos will want this album, but I suggest sampling his talent in his "real" studio albums. The best solos are Were We Really Safe in San Antonio?, the redone Watermelon in Easter Hay, Sinster #3, and Outside Now. The rest is mostly bland for FZ standards. Grade: D
