LOL :) I think he would need to wait a few years and see how things develop, 
but, around 2015 or so, I think he'd start telling it like it is.

I spent some hours recently looking and listening to Zappa material (Dweezil's 
playing of his dad's music, I think is *very* musical, and I also enjoyed Steve 
Vai soloing in Dweezil's band). Two of my favourites of the great man himself 
speaking:

And a weird clip from a TV show in 1976, where he just plays a guitar solo. It 
starts off just like anybody could play (except, of course, you can tell who's 
playing it from the sound), but then, although it never gets really complicated, 
it swiftly moves into the realm of genius, and you realise there are few like 
Zappa, who have ever visited Earth:

 From the time when guitaring was new.
