           **"BOC's GREATEST RIFFS" (Blue Oyster Cult)**

             ======================

   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. . . .

    

     --transcr./tabbed 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 . . .
