Peaches En Regalia Bass

(ver. 1)
Zappa Frank
Peaches en Regalia
Frank Zappa (who else?)
Bass by Shuggy Otis, from the album Hot Rats, 1969

Here's my best effort at the transcription of this one.  This is quite a tricky song for the bass, and I still can't play it confidently at full speed, but what the hell.  Enjoy!

4/4     104 bpm
