Keep It Greasy - Zappa Bass Breakdown! (tutorial)

So after 8 years of weekly video releases I am yet to feature any Frank Zappa. Why’s that weird, well I’m one of the biggest Zappa fans in the world and have been pretty much obsessed with his music since I was a kid. So today I’m going to break the abstinence by giving you a breakdown of the main bass lines from the song Keep It Greasy from the Joe’s Garage album. Now any of you that know anything about Zappa’s music will know that Keep It Greasy is a notoriously difficult song, mostly because of the 19/16 and 21/16 time signatures and the insane drumming by Vinnie Colauita. But it’s not just the drums that shine in this tune. The bass line (mostly slap bass) played by the amazing Arthur Barrow is a real challenge for many different reasons.
