Peaches en Regalia Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa (who else?)
Bass by Shuggy Otis, from the album Hot Rats, 1969
Transcribed by John Fair (jfair@vt.edu)
Here's my best effort at the transcription of this one. This is quite a tricky song for the bass, and I still can't play it confidently at full speed, but what the hell. Enjoy!
4/4 104 bpm
