I have decided to learn some Fusion stuff from back when I was young. I want the honest opinion of any teachers and students about which is a harder piece to learn: "Teen Town" by Jaco Pastorius or "Joe Frazier" by Jeff Berlin?

Check out the version from Weather Report's 8:30 album, with Zawinal and Jaco doubling the opening lines. Also I think Teen Town is more musical piece where Joe Frazer is just a chop fest'.
Plus once you get Teen Town down with your fingers, then check out Marcus Miller's version slappin' it.
