This is the "A Token of His Extreme" Version with the guitar playing in the introduction.
The rhythms in this song can be odd so make sure to listen carefully.

On "Token of His Extreme" FZ plays main melody in 5th position:

Frank plays percussion for the rest of the song, so there is no more guitar, though brass and
keyboards are playing I don't feel their parts would translate to guitar very well.
