Hmm. I worked out this song for my sister, she's learning to play
the guitar. I don't listen to Good Charlotte much, I'm more of a
metal-head myself, but I still don't think it's right that so
many guitar magazines take the piss out of them. So what if it's
simple? Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid' is simple, is that crap too?
