Oh No Tab by Frank Zappa

Oh No tab by Frank Zappa

Guitar Tab

Title: Oh No (I don`t believe it)
Artist : Frank Zappa
Transcribed by Douglas F Shearer - all my own work - 22/04/2004.

This catchy number was adapted from the "Weasels ripped my flesh" album
to a live instrumental piece for the "You can`t do that on stage" album.

The piece varies from 3/4 to 4/4 in consecutive bars, so instead of
notating the time changes I have written the notes with bar lines, best
way to play this it to read along with the music playing as it will all
become clear then. Technically it is not demanding, but watch out for the
rolling fourths in the last couple of bars.
