Guitar World

I have this on an aging cassette I got from Guitar World magazine in 1987. This is a compilation of solo guitar by Frank Zappa, some of which was never released anywhere else. A truly interesting and illuminating display of technique, style and composition by Frank on this, The 12th Night of Zappadan.  The set list after the break. 



The Guitar World According to Frank Zappa is a 1987 compilation album featuring guitar solos by Frank Zappa. It was issued as a cassette from Guitar World magazine. The compilation has never been made available officially in other formats (compact discs, etc.), but the cassette contains some unique material, including an unreleased guitar solo and an excerpt from an unreleased remix of "Revised Music for Guitar and Low-Budget Orchestra" from the Studio Tan album, featuring drum overdubs by Chad Wackerman.
