# Guitar

Guitar est un album rock de Frank Zappa sorti en 1988. Il s'agit de solos de guitare enregistrés pendant ses concerts entre 1979 et 1984.

## Historique

Originellement, Frank Zappa voulait réaliser un album de trois disques (vinyles). Finalement, il décida de sortir directement l’album sur CD. Il est donc paru avec une version complète de deux CD avec trente-deux morceaux et une version vinyle de deux disques avec seulement dix-neuf morceaux.
