Montana tab by Frank Zappa
Guitar tabs
Music by Frank Zappa (1940-1993) ======================================================================== Song: Montana (6:36) Album: Overnite Sensation (#17, 9/7/73) These parts are based on the original version of Montana (no whipping floss here!). I've notated the intro and the other interesting melodies of the tune but the highlight is the Interlude section. While performed vocally on the album, it (mostly) translates well to the guitar but is really fun to play, so try it! As with any TAB there is no rhythmic notation so you HAVE to listen to the song to get it right. Watch out for the groups of five in the last bar!
