   --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 . . .
