I like Ribot's work, but Zappa is a wizard.

Genuine request for demonstration of Zappa's guitar virtuosity. I loved his music once upon a time and still like it, but I always felt his compositional ability and sense of humor were what set him apart. But I may have just been misinformed.

Probably won't be able to give much detail under the circumstances, but Hot Rats is possibly my favorite guitar-oriented album of all time.

Ribot is excellent, and far above the average studio jazz guitarist, but it has to be Zappa for me.

His sense of humor is what has always made him underrated...you don't have to tell every joke that pops into your head, and his attempts at being funny very often overshadowed his great playing.

Here's 35 minutes of Frank destroying. The Shut Up N Play Yer Guitar series was three volumes of just Frank shredding. You should be able to find what you need somewhere in here. But his playing is everywhere in his discography...honestly, you shouldn't have to look very far at all.
