As opposed to that awesome, smart, straight, young woman guitarist that we all love.

By the way, there is a female guitarist worth noting here. In the same vein as AAL.

Sarah Longfield

Solo stuff is good, but here is an AAL cover:

Meh. I'll admit I haven't listened to a lot of his stuff, but to me it seems like the main appeal of his music is in the lyrics.

Take this all with a grain of salt, though, because guitar isn't my main instrument.

Eh I've always thought of Jimmy Page as being a bit overrated, kinda like slash. I'd prefer page over slash though any day.
>>
>>690099656
I can see why you'd say that. The thing was Zappa was good but most of his career you can tell he was just pissed off and made fun of genres and other stuff, so he would parody genres and make the music purposely simple. Thats why ironically I like his non-guitar albums the best. Joe's Garage is great too though like I said. There's one song on it called Fembot in a White T-Shirt. Has some classic Zappa break downs that IMO was very fundamental to his sound. Zappa was a big fan of marimba's and shit.
