It's under the couch cushions.

By no means is it the start of my musical education but I'm proud to say that I can now play the 1st (of the 2) extremely difficult/quick keyboard passages in Inca Roads at the intended bpm - woohoo!

Good for you.

I'm tackling Kid Charlemagne right now, I'll have to get that book next.

Re: Kid Charlemagne - does your version have every section in it? I had 2 different SD books w Kid Charlemagne and they both skip a certain section.

Also some very ignorant mistakes in the lyrics. "When her HOT BRAKES????" Please.........................

What the fuck is a "HOT BRAKES?" Use your fucking brain.


It's "When her heart breaks". If Hal Leonard is looking for someone who is actaully paying attention, gimme a call.

This is from the original vinyl release.

Nice catch!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but,



IT"S STILL WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


"When her hot brakes" is grammatically impossible in the context of the sentence and its a stretch to say in the context of the song.!!!!

I offer this challange - the lyrics from the OVR were transcribed and printed incorrectly and they caught Frank on a night he chose not to go into great analysis (in other words he was too busy or tired to check for errors himself)

Maybe Gail or Dweez could chime in on that. I mean shit, brilliante and 24/7 as FZ was, the guy's still fucking human.

Jesus man - let it go. Or like I said, correct all of the mistakes, publish your superior version and I'll be sure to purchase a copy.

Are you trying to tell me you can't find another instance in FZ's oeuvre that is grammatically impossible in the context of the sentence? Check out Thing Fish some time, your head will fucking explode!

It's a play on words. It is intentional. FZ liked to play around with phrases, language, music, etc. This was part of his brilliance. You need to go back to Zappa School.

[I know it's a play on words. It's "heart breaks" with a Bostonian accent. Proper notation of this even was amatuerishly omitted.

Totally - no need to freak out over the words?!? Did you buy it for the lyrical content? I BOUGHT IT FOR THE COMPLETE MUSICAL CONTENT BASED ON PAST PUBLICATIONS If you already knew the words, who cares!? BESIDES THE POINT BUT ORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY R U SO WILLING TO BE CHEATED, IF NOT RIPPED OFF? It's the notes that matter. ITS THE COMPLETE ACCURRATE CONTENT THAT MATTERS, NOTES, WORDS & ASTERISKS. The arrangements are for guitar. MOSTLY, BUT NOT SO IN PAST The arrangements have been for guitar since the first book of the series. MOSTLY, BUT NOT ALL. If you purchased each of them, as you stated - then you should know that. I DO. HOW COME YOU DON'T?Why would they break format and throw in a horn chart (DIDN'T ASK FOR A CHART - NO CHART NEEDED - JUST A SIMPLE, ACCURATE NOTAION OF "TENOR SAX" INSTEAD OF "HORNS") on this one when the other 3 books you've purchased haven't done so? I can think of plenty of examples of songs through the series that only have *one* keyboard part but you don't hear me bitching that it wasn't included.
You bitch earlier in this thread that there is no bass in this book yet there was no bass in the other 3 books so.... what the fuck? In SOFA, would you not agree that the bass line that goes in triplet fashion ba ba-da-da ba-da-da ba-da-da baaaaahhhhhhhh,, ba bahhhhhhhhh, bu bahhhhhhhhhhhh is crucial to the arrangement? HOW COME IT AINT THERE, DOOFUS? Chilllllll out Francis.
