Guitar is a 1988 album by Frank Zappa. It is the follow-up to Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar (1981), and like that album it features Zappa's guitar solos excerpted from live performances, recorded between 1979 and 1984. Guitar was originally released as a 19-track double album on Zappa's Barking Pumpkin, and was expanded to 32 tracks and reissued on Rykodisc in 1995.

Guitar gave Zappa his 6th Grammy nomination, for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance".[1]

Alternate versions of three of Guitar's tracks appear on the 1987 compilation The Guitar World According to Frank Zappa, and one of the tracks on the compilation was originally intended for this album.
