Crafting musical phrases based on number sequences
Dweezil Zappa demonstrates a technique of creating improvised lines with an approach that allows one to explore phrases that can move decisively away from scalar-type lines, wherein you can utilize more interesting and unexpected rhythms that will surprise you, your friends and anyone who listens to your music.

[@IamtheActionman]

Wtf...this is the second time you've blown my mind. Genius like pops.

[@DMSProduktions]

Oh yeah! Chip OFF the old block!

[@toby1kenobe]

such a great player-he does actually use this stuff in his live playing too

[@chrisgrabowski2678]

I love this! This is going to help me. Love that we need to throw in a pause when we hit zero. - ChrisG

[@hotblackdesiato3451]

The tone Dweezil gets on that 'zero note' is epic. It's all in the fingers.

[@bhaveshramdaursingh4325]

That was brilliant

[@chriskinsella7201]

Pretty cool

[@nicholasrigg8999]

Is this how Frank composed his solos? Dweezil is a fine player

[@joaopaulowdeandrade7905]

Not exactly ! Zappa was based your solos in Rhythm Speech. That example where Dweezil did, make acount in certain way.

[@WishfulSinful1969]

Thank you!!

[@devilutioner666]

This has a sort of Ron Jarzombek playfulness in it. I like it along with the suggestion to do it intervallically!!(= Thanks!!(=

Dweezil who can I turn to?

[@markusantonio4866]

CHUNGA!

[@KowboyUSA]

Moon Unit's brother?

[@CarolinaLandshark]

Yep, or Moon Unit is his sister!!

[@KowboyUSA]

@@CarolinaLandshark I remember back when Frank had the kids and gave them their names. First time I've seen either of them as adults. He seems like a real together fella.

[@DMSProduktions]

LOL!

[@CarolinaLandshark]

@@KowboyUSA Yes, I remember that too, and thinking, what the .....!! I agree they seem to be good people. Dweezil could have gone off the deep end, living off his fathers reputation, but he's made a name for himself. He's a great, down to earth, regular, guy.
