                              PEACHES EN REGALIA  -   FRANK ZAPPA
                           -------------------------------------------

                                From the album 'Hot Rats'


                                               tabbed by Howard Wright
                                               [email protected]


/ = slide
b = bend up  (e.g 11b13 means play 11th fret note and bend up a tone)
r = release bend (e.g 11b13r11 means play 11th fret note, bend up, then release)
h = hammer on
p = pull off


I've tried to TAB out as much as I know, and then I've written out just the chords
for the bits I didn't tab. I've written out chord names above the TAB as well to give
the basic feel.

Please note - chords with a  /  like  A/C#  mean A with a C# in the bass.

INTRO CHORDS :
---------------

You can't really play the bass notes with the chords on just
one guitar, but I've written out the chord names (including bass notes)
above the TAB anyway.

                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There are quite a few phrases like these with lots of notes slurred together
into a run. It's probably a lot easier to do this on a sax (as it's played on
the original) than a guitar, but you can get close on a guitar with a bit of
practice.

ORGAN PART :
------------

These are just the intro chords again, but using different inversions
for a bit of variety.
Again - bass notes are indicated by the chord names (A/B is A triad with
B bass) - but you can't easily play triads and bass notes together on one
guitar.
