Zappa composes a waltz
It seems to me, a waltz form is pretty straightforward to compose . You just need a basic understanding of chord progression in 3/4 time
Zappa is guitar God. His layering with the guitar is beautiful

Zappa wrote some sensational orchestral music in the 80's, who knows what he might have accomplished if his life hadn't been cut short.
Duke of Prunes.
I saw drummer Attilio Terlizzi with Dwezil Zappa's band at the Phoenix.

You can hear the typical Zappa signature and know in a few notes you have been Zapped
The sound of a triad with the second note atonal - or something like that as I am not musically literate - combined with wayward drumming, horns playing the triad and guitar shredding
It is not classical music or jazz or rock it is Zappa
It is fun to listen to

Zoot your musical knowledge is superior to mine. I go by feeling and the ability to separate what is genuine (Zappa) and what is fake (Bon Jovi).

One does not need knowledge to love music. Music is a story told with emotion instead of words. Mozart was brilliant at this expression . Refer to my post 573 on Mozart. Now you understand Mozart
Ruth Underwood was studying the xylophone at Julliard when she saw Zappa perform.
Ruth begged Zappa for an audition then dropped out of Julliard and joined The Mothers and never looked back
Ruth gives an explaination of Zappa music .
I said Zappa lost the second note of the triad and dropped down to atonal note but Ruth explains he drops down the third note .
This piece is two chords, instead of three chord triads, but retains the Zappa atonal sound with sharps and flats instead of the expected whole notes

It is appropriate to discuss rock stars in classical music
because some are the modern versions of classical composers
as they combine composing creativity with great electric guitar talent
whereas 200 years ago they would have played the piano or violin
Zappa was great live as he never overdubs the recording in a lab and each time he performs it is different. Other bands perform the exact same notes to perfection
Hendrix was the same as Zappa in live shows , constantly improvising and was a friend of Zappa

If it wasn't for Frank Zappa, The Doors may never have existed. Jim Morrison was one of his neighbours in Laurel Canyon. He had a drinking and driving problem...on a motorcycle. Many times he crashed on Frankie's couch, in the morning Gail Zappa would have coffee and sleazy pancakes ready. Frankie was a saint.
Dweezil Zappa is talented guitarist but does not compose just plays his fathers stuff
and surrounds himself with quality musicians like Frank

Daily Doug is great and he appreciates the genius of Frank
Daily Doug reviews in his first ever hearing of a song based on suggestions
so send him one
I never fully understood Inca Roads until I saw your post
Gracias

Polyphia is a very talented band
GOAT means greatest of all time
Tim Henson is an gifted guitarist and the talented drummer can play very quick notes in sync with the band which must be very difficult

Here Polyphia plays with Steve Vai who played with Zappa
I will do what Daily Doug does and write comments as I hear the piece for the first time but I am untrained and will get stuff wrong LOL
Chords like d minor or c , which are mentioned by Doug, means certain notes are played , or not played, in a scale unless the music states otherwise. It is a trick to make it easier for musicians to be aware of notes to be played . It was Bach who gave us this modern understanding of music. Bach was a genius
At 3:16 they stop the music and flash the name of the song. The stopping of the music symbolizing ego death which is when you lose your man made ego of what you are and find your true self.
Doug missed that point as he thought they were just getting the name of the song in
He points out their cleaness which I did in above post IE a lot of notes quickly and hit them all. I wonder if he will mention this talent in the drummer like I did in previous post
Doug mentions Major which is a more powerful and happy chord than a sad Minor chord
Doug mentions the numbers 5th, 6th ,7th etc which refer to the notes played along with a triad chord, I think
At 6:50 they go outside and play a unique different sound as Doug states. To me that sound symbolizes what you experience after ego death so they had to come up with a unique sound played outside for the symbolism of having been reborn.
Doug points out the variations in this piece do not change in meter IE the reaccurring pattern of notes, the tempo IE speed determined by time signature or the keys that is because the variations symbolizes ego before death which changes after death
This piece is called Ego Death for a reason
Doug is missing the symbolism
Tim Henson is a poet guitarist
At 11:40 Doug teaches me what a lament is which is played in the variations which symbolizes your ego before death which is why they play the laments
Ego after death is a oneness with God as your human ego is what dies
Doug celebrates the engineering work in the recording which means they are not as good live, I suspect
Well, it is amazing piece esp with Steve Vai who I have not heard since his Zappa days
I listened to Tim Henson talk music and he is what you would think. He is well spoken, thoughtful and quiet. Just like the smartest guy in the class is.
That is a real tatoo on his neck
I like G.O.A.T. , the first piece, the most but both pieces are amazing
