Now play Communication Breakdown using nothing but solid down-strokes so that the root note is prominent.

Half a decade later everyone takes Page's approach and creates punk. Including the seminal Ramones.

Do the ****ing math.

Also, stop being the 2016 dick-weed Frowny. You're arguing with me just to argue. You don't have a point. You're just poking your tiny stick. Again.
