I think all guitar teachers are required to teach these songs....

The other who one is My Generation. BTW, what's the Who Score? I don't think
I've seen that one.

Guitar-toting kids naturally gravitate (or are pushed) toward the more-flashy
style of Led Zeppelin and related songs. It_is a good stepping point to
either other hard rock or blues styles. Who songs are great for rythym
studies. And those guitar-toting kids I mentioned earlier couldn't give a
rat's ass about rythym. "TEACH ME ERUPTION, DAMMIT! -- I GOTTA PLAY LIKE
EDDIE, MAN!..."
