I wish I were closer to you and could spend an hour with you. You have the "want to" but it just hasn't come together all the way for you. Right now I would suggest tying with only one color chenille until you get it tied in right.
I'm going to show you how to tie in the chenille. I'm not going to tie a tail just the chenille and use colors that show up well so you can see how it is now.
First lay down a layer of thread to the hook point
Attachment 67735
Now run the thread back to the head
Attachment 67736
Tie in the chenille behind the head
Attachment 67737
tie the chenille all the way to the hook bend
Attachment 67738
now run your thread back to the head
Attachment 67739
start laying down the chenille around the hook
Attachment 67740
run the chenille all the way to the head
Attachment 67741
take the thread and warp over the chenille
Attachment 67742
warp the thread around the hook shank close to the head 4 or 5 times

whip finish your thread 4 or 5 turns

now cut off the thread close to the chenille

I used black thread and orange chenille so you could see how it is done. I did not try to hide the thread but when you use the right colors together the thread will be covered.
Tying takes a lot of time and many tied jigs to get right but this should get you going right.

awesome ronnie..!!! This will show alot of the new ones how to start tying a jig
Nicely done Ronnie!
Nice job showing him how to do that. On the two colors, buy some two color chenille and it's not just easier it's better too. Like Stump Hunter said don't try running before you can walk. You need to be able to tie a excellent jig before you try doing things that are harder than just that. You want to jump into Algebra before you learn basic math and it just will not work. That is also why I gave you that link, to learn to be a beginner before you go to intermediate or advanced and there are steps you have to take or you will never learn right.
Honest here, you should cut off all the chenille on these jigs and get it back to just a jig head and tie a normal one color chenille jig. One more thing, You have too much marabou own them so try to save it, take half of what you have one each and make two for every one there.

Hang in there yellowjacket u will get it
Stump, Real nice of you to take the time to help new tiers. That is why I love this forum. People like you, Skip,Ship, and alot of the experienced tiers. Listen to them and believe you me, you will be proud of your work. You will also make Stump and Skip proud of you. Keep up the challenge and you will succeed.
Yellojacket- I am totally new to tying (started yesterday, 'bout as green as it gets). It's an easy thing to do to look at some of the stuff some of these more experienced guys tie, and want to start doing something similar right off the bat. Read what Skip wrote, I was going to try and say something similar before ever reading his post. I don't think I could have said it any better than he did, so not even gonna try.
Thanks for the post Stump Hunter, and thanks again for all those who offer help to us newbs.....no matter how many times it has to be repeted DohRofl
