Frank Zappa - Jones Crusher
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: Jacque
Tuning: Standard
I'm amazed that this hasn't been tabbed yet, being one of the best tracks from sheik yerbouti (in my opinion
at least)
NOTE - This is the part Zappa would have played, I haven't included the lead overdubs.
Verse 1
This part is weirdly muted, it's hard to explain.
