Manx needs women

Manx needs women, bars 1-2. Source: original score as published in Guitar Player, January 1977.




Manx needs women (Philly '76), 0:08-0:16. Transcription: KS (update Summer 2018, deposited at the I-depot, The Hague).



Example 2.12 from the Clement study.
Note: the half-note pause must be a writing error for a dotted half-note. The 13-tuplet lasts a quarter note on the CD (like the 11-tuplet in my first example).



Zappa's original score of the opening bars, that I came across on E-bay in 2026. It's the Zappa in New York version with the 13-triplet.
