======================
For all those BOC fans out there--BOTH of yu' >:-} --or for those
just curious about "vintage metal": hey, Sabbath wasn't the only
band that Metallica, et al. cut their teeth on. . . .
* tcg, 197?[yeh, I'm old]-1994
--fuzz box: all . . . [hell, I use TWO fuzz boxes]
--regarding "key" names: major-minor distinction often meaningless,
since rhythm guitar usually playing "chords" with no third
("power chords"), and the leads in the "major" keys are often
Mixolydian mode or pentatonic minor. . . (In "straight" minor-key
tunes, Buck Dharma shows a preference for the Aeolian mode
[=minor pentatonic, plus "tasty" major 2nd and minor 6th steps].)
--Disclaimer: these are hacker's versions, admittedly--above all,
trust your ear . . .
