This version is more accurate but a bit more challenging to play. You must be capable of bar chords and 
selective picking. I use my thumb for the walking bass line and for the D, G, and B strings I pick and pluck 
with my thumb, pointer, and middle. Once you have the progression down, you can slide all the chords up or 
down the neck to best suit your voice. This one works best for me, but the proper key is 2 whole steps higher
(4 frets) and is in the key of Gm. I'm planning on posting a video soon, please comment if that would help 
you. Enjoy.
