It isn't as easy as you think. Richie Blackmore demonstrates people play it this way, which is not correct. It's played in fourths, not power chords.

The correct way, which is all I've ever learned, is even easier than the wrong way. Simple isn't bad (Satisfaction?), but Smoke on the Water is pretty easy.

Most people just 0 3 5. A lot of beginners have no concept of fretting hand economy. Most of the time, playing it right means finding the easiest way.
