-Doron, who can't even imagine how long it will take to be able to PLAY the verse let alone SING it too.

yeah we had a "Battle of the Billies" cover contest a few months back. there was quite a few entries too. cavecricket, dmbfanjason, ticohans, quite a few others played it like dave and sang too. I started learning it about a year after I started playing regularly. about a year after that I guess I could say I had it down but it always gets better with more practice and the more you sing it. there's ALWAYS room for improvement, especially in singing. Billies is one of my favorites to play. big surprise.
good, and you?

I can play it. I even recorded a slower version to help someone out on this site.

Once you get the fingerings it's pretty easy from there....I didn't find this song to be that hard
