that feedback at about 0:20 is gorgeous

Dweez, how do you get this sound?  Please tell us more about the sound.  Very thick sound.  D**n.

They are nice guitars i tried out one of the white ones a couple of years ago it had a kind of clear finish on the body where you could see the grain through the paint  very nice sounding too.

I was playing my tobacco burst Eric Johnson Fender stratocaster.

This is the reason so many of us will travel so far to see the best live touring act in the world right now.. That is amazing.. Please include this in the YCFTOSA downloads..

I don't know who your tutor was? But he must have been d**n good. Fantastic. Marc Accrington

A delicious sound - and playing of course - There sounds to me to be several effects subtly mixed in there. I also like the drum sound in particular - Chads electronic drums sounded crap, not to put too fine a point on it - the worst I would say being on the "Broadway" album...The best FZ drums imo are probably...the envelope please...Overnite and Apostophe which incidentally I may have mentioned before, are begging for their intended surround sound release...you know what to do next...

I used some compression on this sound. It was a multiband mastering style compressor within the Fractal.

There are a few very idiosyncratic FZ phrases I seem to have channeled in there. The feedback is being assisted a by a single wedge I had facing me.

I am always researching different sounds that Frank used and trying to capture some of those tones in my rig for inspiration and authenticity.

I'm glad you have been enjoying what I've been doing with it. I'm not sure if most people know how much time it takes to research and test all of this stuff but in the end it's worth it.

Sound like a wonderful Ultra-FX simulation of Aphex Compressor. I assume you are using a some expression pedal. It is quite interesting that you can maintain on the brink of feedback performance tonalities with the Fractal in a sans amp configuraton.

Throughout this sample the diversity in notes, rhythm and tonality is of highest appreciation in the true mold of FZs signature Shut Up solos taken from the 1979 Euro Winter Tour. If three years into ZPZ can result in woek such as this one can only wonder what is to come over the next decade or two.

While I think it is fair to say you have skill sets, time & technology that FZ did not have at his disposal four years into his professional touring career that can only make us wonder what is possible with this project over the next several decades.

Magnifique !!

It's what I'd call a belter of a tune.

Great solo Dweezil, listening to these is so inspiring.
