* #9 my embellishment, I think [did from memory, but should be close], as
are the 7/9 and 7\5 slides (make fingering-position changes easier)....
--Also another "jam" lead to tune, if I recall--never figured it out,
though: just stepped on the fuzz box and played some Chuck Berry/
Foghat 12-bar blues riffs. . . .
