Frank Zappa is a genius and it is so beautiful that his son keeps his music alive so people now can enjoy what his father created. R.I.P FZ.

A son crying for his lost Father while playing his father's song is as beautiful as this song is.

how deep seated the pain really is ... more than 20 years after Frank's passing, it's still coming to the surface once in a while. what a beautiful melody and intense, expressive playing. As fresh, exciting and moving as if it was written yesterday.

Frank was a legend and will not be forgotten. This video is pretty intense for any Zappa fan. I got to see him live in Springfield Mass, Hartford Ct, and in Atlanta. Shows I will never forget.

Having an epic iconic guitarist for a father, and teachers such as Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, + many other guitar legends, tends to produce one such beast of a guitar god as Dweezil Zappa.

I’ve been listening to FZ since 1973-74… Over-Nite Sensation was how I got started, and I’ve been listening to his music ever since. I always thought that Joe’s Garage was an awesome release, but Watermelon In Easter Hay just blew me away when I first heard it, and it still does today. Thank you Frank, for *all* of your music over the years… I’m still listening! And a special thank you to Dweezil, for playing this beautiful tune for your father- he’s surely looking down on you and is very proud. Thank you for sharing this video.

I was also there. It is one of Frank's favorite pieces and I imagine when Dweezil plays it he is overcome with emotion because of the memories of his genius father. Beautiful moment.

Easter Hay? Maybe it's an inside joke I'm not getting. But agreed, saw him at the Aggie Theater in Fort Collins, CO and it just fucking ripped. The tears he was wiping back for The Last Imaginary Guitar Solo just killed me. Not a dry eye in the house.

As a machinist/guitarist, I call this 9/16 time...any idea what a trained musician calls it?? Zappa transformed music for me.

@MrHowieZowie Жыл бұрын

Per Steve Vai's transcription in The Frank Zappa Guitar Book, the recorded version on Joe's Garage is alternating bars of 4/4 and 5/4. Here is what my drummer Nicholas Elie has to say about the performance in this video: "I definitely think the pulse is on the quarter note. It sounds like it starts with the 5 and then the 4. Definitely in 9 though. So to say 9/4 or alternating between 5/4 and 4/4 is almost subjective, depends who you’re listening too. Joe Travers definitely alternating, I think Dweezil is playing the full measure as 9/4."

It is not sports, David. and it's not impossible, but it is expensive in terms of losing lots of time with your family, much like the Apollo astronauts. Dweezil is every bit as astonishing as his father, just in different ways.
