Zappa Stories Youve Never Heard! Dweezil Zappa 2025-10-03 | As part of the Bridge Guitar Festival in The Netherlands 2025, I performed with the Metropole Orkest. It was an opportunity to play my own orchestral music along with some of my dad's. Hours before the concert took place, Co de Kloet hosted a discussion and Q&A for people who were attending the concert later that evening. You might enjoy the insights and some rare tales you've likely never heard.Look for some additional material from that amazing evening of music Coming Soon!
Testing LEGENDARY AMPS at the Marshall Factory Dweezil Zappa 2025-09-12 | PART 1: youtu.be/zIP0LgiqPQ0I TESTED a TON of MARSHALLS from the VAULT! This is a continuation of my visit to the UK Factory. The biggest highlight for me was playing the incredible amps from Jeff Beck that he actually performed with on stage. I also loved trying the Randy Rhoads signature model. As you will see, the historic amps and modern reissue models delivered a consistent sound and I almost couldn't tell the difference between a few of them. I hope you enjoy the free expression play-through half as much as I did!For the video I used my UBAB III (black and white striped FUGLY guitar), my customized Gibson Roxy SG, and my signature model DZ Lynx from Shabat : shabatguitars.com/product/lynx-dz I plugged directly into each amp, without any pedals. A modicum of post production reverb was added for a touch of atmosphere.

Dweezil Zappa tries to BLOW UP a MARSHALL Dweezil Zappa 2025-09-04 | youtu.be/zIP0LgiqPQ0WARNING : this may blow your speakers, eardrums, or at least piss off your cats. The conclusion of the Marshall Tour, the AMP TESTING, is almost here, but at the end of a long day of playing through some legendary heads I decided to have some fun and put Marshall's $55 juggernaut, the MS-2, through its sonic paces. I threw my prototype gain pedal in front of it - the results were harrowing, but too much fun not to share. Stay Tuned for more mellifluous Marshall tones on the horizon!

Which VAN HALEN Guitar Sounds Best? Dweezil Zappa 2025-08-29 | Edward Van Halen created & played a lot of kick ass guitars... from the iconic Frankenstrat, which went from black n' white to red n' wild, to the drastically modded Shark, which began its life as an Ibanez Destroyer. He dabbled with Kramer and later went to a more conservative and efficient design through Ernie Ball & Peavey.Luckily we can keep our saws and soldering irons in the tool shed as there's EVH Guitars making great reproductions across the historical lineup. On a recent trip to SWEETWATER Headquarters I entered their secret lair and had the opportunity to play a wide variety of models back-to-back, through an EVH amp similar to the one Edward played on his final tour, all to compare how they felt & delivered. The results were unexpected! Hear the differences and let me know in the Comments which you preferred...CHAPTERS00:00 - SWEETWATER HQ00:19 - FRANKIE GUITAR02:20 - CIRCLES GUITAR03:51 - SHARK GUITAR05:46 - GREEN WOLFGANG CUSTOM07:57 - NATURAL WOLFGANG CUSTOM

Let's explore how Marshall crafts the sound of ROCK, since 1962!Then stay tuned for Part II - where I test a large assortment of the legendary amps from the museum.

DWEEZIL ZAPPAs best ERUPTION ever + Van Hendrix style National Anthem! Dweezil Zappa 2025-07-07 | In lieu of bringing cobbler to the neighborhood block party, I brought a guitar! I then invited two friends & neighbors, Chase Mangum (drums) & Erik Brauer (bass), to serve up the National Anthem with an appetizer of Eruption. I used my Fractal FM9 on a preset I baked and the EVH black & white striped guitar. It has a standard Fender Tremelo so it was risky!
ERUPTION Challenge - Tube Amp or Digital Modeler?! Dweezil Zappa 2025-06-30 | Can you tell the difference between an Amp and a Modeler? What gives it away? At a recent Masterclass in the UK, I attempted to play Edward Van Halen's ERUPTION twice in a row. One time through my Fractal with a preset I created, the other plugged straight into a Marshall JCM 900 Studio amp with a 4x12 cab. The audio in this video includes mixed ambient camera mic audio from the Masterclass so it is not a sterile direct recording. Lets take a deep dive into how I analyze the nuances in the playing of Eruption and how I approach recreating the sound textures. I've also incorporated feedback from comments posted to Instagram to spark some more interesting conversation and challenge you to guess which version is which. While I didn't play Eruption note for note perfect, I did manage to get close to some of the most treacherous parts. There will never be any doubt that Edward Van Halen's brilliant guitar playing will continue to inspire millions of guitarists.

DWEEZIL ZAPPA covers METALLICA + Guitar Tales! Dweezil Zappa 2025-03-10 | Who would have thought the Van Halen Rasta Guitar would be covering Metallica?! Just as I was about to entomb the ON THE SPOT series for another thousand years, I stumbled upon this cover of ENTER SANDMAN, which I'd completely forgotten about! Charles Esten, 'Chip' at the time, provides the Hetfield war cries. He went on to do great things on the TV show, Nashville. Lovely to see the On The Spot alumni carrying forth the torch. This was a fun song to play & deserved an equally fun guitar & story for those that stay tuned...

JACK BLACK & DWEEZIL ZAPPA cover CRAZY TRAIN *enhanced audio & video* Dweezil Zappa 2025-03-06 | This CRAZY TRAIN runs right through JACK BLACK'S crack! Unearthed from my vault, it's Tenacious D and actress ARDEN MYRIN with a pair of off-the-wall covers from an early 2000's TV show called, On The Spot. Airing on the WB, the show had "on-the-spot" improvisation from the cast members based on audience suggestions and music was included in that concept. I served as the Band Leader and had a jolly good time!I'm glad I found these performances on a DVD, I hadn't seen them in decades. I was able to enhance the audio myself from the original stereo mix using Spectral Layers, stereo-izing the guitar, bringing up the level and adding some extra punch to the drums and girth to the bass. Jack's vocal also got a bit of reverb and delay. Other versions of this Crazy Train are uploaded to youtube if you care to compare but this one is superior because the audio is better and the video is at a higher resolution. Plus you get the bonus song, "I Love Rock 'N Roll", also played on the EVH Rasta guitar.If you dig The Vault Series dive deeper here : youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhFYi0SEKRgDdz87ArKij9dkXZFD9daYJ Check out my website for more content, past, present 'n' future : http://dweezilzappa.comCHAPTERS0:00 - The Vault2:02 - Crazy Train w/ Jack Black7:29 - I Love Rock 'n' Roll w/ Arden Myrin10:29 - Guitar RevealFretless guitar with a Les Paul Jr style body by MOSER GUITARS and a custom Fender style Fretless neck used by my dad.

Stay Tuned for More!There is also a trove of music & video on my website : http://dweezilzappa.comThis video comes from a concert in Austin Texas in 2007. The show was filmed in its entirety by my good friend Charlie Boswell ( He edited this video performance as well), and was kind enough to give me the walnut SG I played for the first several years on tour. The video is low resolution and the audio is from the F.O.H. mix, which has not been embellished with any mastering.Remarkably we played 30 songs in that show, spanning a huge cross section of my dad's career including his orchestral music. In this video we are playing the incredibly complex composition, "G-Spot Tornado" from the 'Yellow Shark' record.That tour also featured my band playing the classic 'Absolutely Free' album arrangements of "Suzy Creamcheese" - "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" - "America Drinks and Goes Home", all segued together like the record.

EPIC 70s GUITAR SOLO w/ Frank Zappas Roxy SG! Dweezil Zappa 2025-02-04 | Lots of fascinating spontaneous musical moments have occurred on the 2025 ROX(POSTROPH)Y TOUR thus far. This old school 70's JAM ignited feelings of the muted hollowbody guitar stylings my dad explored in the early 70's. I have been playing the actual Roxy/Apostrophe SG on tour and documenting my own guitar journey. Playing this guitar has been very special and I'll be delving into detailed explorations of solos to share with you, as well as an upcoming Full Concert Film, but in the interim this new 'DOWN N' DIRTY SERIES' features some finger flick'n fun with a mostly audience perspective. Stay tuned for more... DON'T MISS the final leg of the Tour, kicking off April 10th, 2025.
