Blessed Relief


FRANK ZAPPA Blessed Relief From "The Grand Wazoo" 1972 This is a nice tune, i'm amazed no one bothered tabbing it out before. **FINGERING NOTE** A few chord voicings ive used require the use of your fretting hand's thumb for bass notes: C11/Bb, Gadd9/B, Bbmaj7 Intro C/Bb C11/Bb C/Bb C11/Bb --0---------------0--0---------------------0-------------------------| ----8------------8-----6-6-6----------6------8----------8--------6---| ------9---------9------------5-------7---------9--------9-------5----| --------10----10--------------8-----8------------10----10------8-----| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| ------------6------6------------6-------------------6-------6--------| * * Thumb Theme 1 --8p5--5--3--3--5-----------------------------------| -------------------5--3~~~-3---------------3--6--3--| ------------------------------5--5---2--5-----------| ----------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------| --8p5--5--3--3--5-----------------------------------| --------------------5--3--3-3-------------3--6p3--3-| ------------------------------5--5--2--5------------| ----------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| -6-5-6~~-8-6-8~~~-10~~~11p10p8-10--11--13~~~-| ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| -6-5-6~~-8-6-8~~~-10~~~11p10p8-10--11--13~~~-| ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------| ----8-10-11-8-10-------------------------| -10--------------7~~~-7-5~~~-5-3~~~~3-0--| -----------------------------------------| Repeat 3x -----------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------| Theme 2 Gadd11 -----10-------------10-----------------------------------| ----12---12~~-10-12----12~~----12------------------------| ---12-----------------------12----12-12~~~~9-12-9-9~~~---| --10-----------------------------------------------------| -10------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------| Fadd11 ------8---------/15-12-12----/15-12-12-----------------------------| ----10---10~~~8------------------------15-13p12--------------------| ---10----------------------14-------------------14-12p10-9---------| --8--------------------------------------------------------12p10p9-| -8-----------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------| Solo Zappa and the boys take turns soloing over this 2-chord jazz vamp Eadd11 Gadd9/B ---7----------------7---------| ---9----------------8---------| ---9----------------7---------| ---7----------------7---------| ---7--------------------------| ---0----------------7---------| * Thumb Mini Bridge (6:05) C/A Bbmaj7 ---0--------0------0------0-------5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5---| ----8------8-8----8-8----8-8------6-6--6-6--6-6--6-6---| -----9----9---9--9---9--9---9-----7-7--7-7--7-7--7-7---| ------10-10----10-----10-----10---7-7--7-7--7-7--7-7---| -0------0----------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------6--------------------| * Thumb *Then repeat Themes 1 & 2 **The outro uses the same chord progression as the intro panzerkampfwagen@gmail.com
