In an effort to better my guitar playing abilities and also to get some more stage time, I was considering restarting up my old idea for a Frank Zappa tribute. The idea was to make versions of FZ classics, but do them in sort of an old-school Ween style. All of the odd time signatures would be replaced by 4/4 patterns, and most of the instrumentation would be simplified. There'd be some tonality in the rhythm (tuned toms, etc.) to round out the sound, but it's be mostly guitar aside from the preprogrammed drums; there would be a few other random samples thrown in there as well. The setlist I originally came up with out-of-order is:
King Kong (Prelude-VI)
Peaches En Regalia
I Don't Wanna Get Drafted
The Way I See It Barry/Duodenum
Anyway The Wind Blows
I'm The Slime
Dirty Love
Echidna's Arf (Of You)
Five Five Five
Shut Up And Play Yer Guitar
My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama
Electric Aunt Jemima
The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth
Love Of My Life
There might've been another one or two other songs, but that was all I found on the old sheet of paper I had it written down on for one time. If I do manage to get this all settled, I also might record the songs, as a little EP. Seems enough like a concise little project.
