King Kong Part II - guitar by Frank Zappa From nearly all original Mothers King Kong versions such as on "Ahead of Their Time". This one is primarily from a Live BBC TV clip. Transcribed by Mark Hawling Email : chooka@zipworld.com.au This is the bit after the usual head of King Kong after Motorhead does his baritone sax solo for the unison bit where it shifts down to C.
