What is that bass tab in your signature? I\'m too lazy to get to my guitar to play it, and I\'m also very curious what it is.
I tried plinking it out on my acoustic, but I can\'t figure it out. I\'m guessing an original. Sounds vaguely like a Cream song.
I actually put that in my sig so that somebody(s) here would validate or correct it
.
It\'s the intro to "Magic Fingers" by Frank Zappa (200 Motels version) - according to a brief google search. Here\'s the whole deal from "911 tabs" website, maybe someone can tell me if this is correct (I\'m just beginning to learn the intro riff...)

Open up your pocketbook, get another quarter out,
drop it in the meter, mama and try me on for size. (very fast)

That\'s about the whole song, besides the solo which I won\'t get into.
The solo is in the key of "A" and is just another extemporaneous
free-going solo, by Frank Zappa.
