A joke amongst mostly guitarists, bassists and most musicians in rock/metal sub genre, "035" is the TABS for an oversimplification of a small fraction of the guitar riff on the song "Smoke On The Water" - Deep Purple, commonly said to be impossible or incredibly difficult as satire taunting its simplicity.
A : Was the first riff you learned 035?
B : No! Not even Van Halen could do that!
A : Haha, totally never heard that before (sarcasm)
