Wow cool ...Zappa with Ponty .. must have been around 1973. Wish I could have seen that. I have a video from a concert around that time where Ponty is among the players.frank9310 wrote:Ah yeah Zappa was a real badass on guitar and one of the all time best. I saw him a few times and once when he toured with Jean-Luc Ponty on violin. That was incredible. Don't eat the yellow snow!
I have a friend who Vai took on his last Europe tour with him to open up, Zack Wiessinger whose a new kind of Zappa in his own right. He blew Vai away and there's a pic of Vai sitting at Zack's feet with his jaw droped open watching him. http://www.guitarzack.com/video-page/ This kid is offthe hook. THere's some videos on his site. He came in 3rd place 2 years ago atthe Guitar Center competition but should have been first but he was too advanced for the blues purists. He didn't care because he was already set to tour with Vai.
Yes I have heard about Zack ... awesome player. Good to see that there is a young generation of amazing players ... that someday will be Marshall owners hehe
