Mau Mau (Amerikon) from Blows Against the Empire (1970) Yeah, I know it's labeled as being by Jefferson Starship but the rendition of JS on Against the Empire is much closer to the Airplane and had very little to do with JS other Kantner himself. Anywho, it's a great song in E minor, Paul Kantner played the rhythm part and Peter played the lead guitar and he solos in E minor pentatonic throughout the song. I put the at the bottom so there's no confusion between the 2 different G chords used in the song.
