The problem is most beginners play it on the just the lowest string coz that's how their mate/Dad/Uncle showed them.
It drives me bonkers when you show them how to do it properly and they say, nah too hard and continue to play it their way.
I love Purple but along with the white stripes Seven nation army I'd be happy if I never ever heard it again.

Yip! You're handed this strange shaped wooden thing with wires on it and told it brings joy to the people.
"How does it work?" you ask........
"You put your finger there and hit that top string then move it there and hit it again then......"
Suddenly you're an axe god ready to conquer the world
