actually recently was very hard for me too...one of the last ones I learned...I used to dream about just playing the whole intro.

This may sound crazy, but something about that slide ditty on the chorus of Diggin a ditch always has thrown me off. I frequently screw that up.

yeah, the first time I played it, I couldn't get it down but if you keep trying it real slow its not too bad. I think that stretch in the beginning of Billies has been the hardest for me.

Ah, the nature intro. I've never had a problem with it. My hands are kinda big, though.

You don't need to have big hands to play stuff like that. I haven't but play Captain and Billes without any problems

yeah, the stretch is the only hard part I have with #41. You Never Know was hard at first....in my opinion.

Should I go learn that song?

I just like the chorus of it, it's kind of catchy.
