ok...when i watch dave play this on storytellers, it seems like it is the most impossible thing in the world. can anyone plez make a video of it or do something that will help me learn this. i can play everything in that song except the verse and i'm sure im not alone. thanx guys.

its one of the toughest Dave riffs going. I thought jkanter had the video included in that tab

anyway, its a big stretch and a lot of movement, but its conquerable with plenty of practice. just follow the tab and listen to live at luther to get that sweet rhythm to dance in your head.

peace,
Ken

if youre not up for the challenege yet and you want to be able to play the whole song, my friend showed me an easier way of playing it with chords.
Here it is:
A --> D --> G --> A (short pause) A --> D then back to 2xx2 3xx4

There is a video on the site but I took it down becuase it was so bad. You can find it here: http://www.dmbtabs.com/video/Billies3.avi

Take it with a grain of salt.....I messed up the entire rhythm more or less....way too fast....not right strumming...it may help though...enjoy...peace

for a more dave like sound try open chord, or variations there off of the following chords:

A , D, C, B.......these would be the bass notes.
