If one plays typical "piano" chords with a guitar voice, the instant
reaction is that the sound is horridscary.  Studying the structure
of typical "guitar" chords and reproducing them will give a greatly 
enhanced "sound."

For example, the "folk [or any, actually] guitar" patch that comes
with the DX-7 is really jumpin.'  As a demo, with the sustain pedal
depressed, play (starting with the appropriate octave) E A D G B E
in ascending order (three octave range here; these are the open strings
of the guitar).  You will be amazed!
