Frank Zappa's Interesting Muffin Man Guitar Solo

Frank Zappa is one of the strangest and most experimental musicians ever, but none can deny his impact on the industry. He has put out several solo albums and others with his band the Mothers of Invention. One of his most famous songs is "The Muffin Man", a strange creation with a spoken word intro and occasional vocals by Captain Beefheart. The rest of the song is a amazing, soulful, solo. It is played in a somewhat sloppy style which adds the 'feeling' of the song. The best version is that released on the live album "Bongo Fury" which was recorded in Austin. But here is another rendition of the Zappa solo at a concert.
