My problem is being able to put the whole song together. Mostly going into and out of the verse. I've slowed it wayyyyy down to the point where I can play the whole song with a minimum amount of fuckups. I'm gradually trying to speed it up but it's not there yet. Playing it with a metronome has been a great help as well.

It's just one of those songs that you have to bang away at until it becomes second nature.

Once you 'feel' the rhythm in that song it just seems to lock in and it's so much fun to play. One of my favorites. I second the idea of using the storytellers vid to get it down.

I see what ya mean. Billies is really easy as long as you can get to the Nature Intro chord with ease, which you said you can now do I believe.
