that's how what I meant to say

I found them both easy as well, and learned them quickly.

Billies isn't that bad, but warehouse seems to be on some days and off others. After the upstroke on the intro/verse etc. somedays I just can't mute the strings cleanlyl.

i can play both but, billies is by far the the most difficult out of the two. warehouse, you must have the finger stretching abilities and the muting skills. tripping billes, not so much muting but the accuracy and finger stretching. the billies verse goes along with the words, you can play the verse and feel the words, warehouse is a timeing thing. there are more singled out notes in the billies verse. also, there is soo much more movement in the billies verse than the warehouse verse. finger mobility is something i think everyone should have and timing as well, but smoothness is someting you have to have a feeling for. i voted the billies verse.

Yeah, I've never really understood the struggle with that.

Neither have I. But the above realization is what made the TB verse sink in for me.
