How to play Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind (Acoustic Guitar Version)

[ballersmurf]

LMAO, i cant even watch the video bc i keep crackin up at these dudes

[silviasmucke]

This cover of yours is driving me insane: I've got blisters on my fingers from "trying" to play along, I make people's ears bleeing from "trying" to sing along, and when it comes to the tambourine, I wanna smash my guitar entirely out of frustation for losing the last bit of coordination .. my hands not knowing what the heck the foot's doing and vice versa but you know what? It is WORTH it !!! Thanx for helping out with this vid :)

Try taking your 1st finger (index) off of the c chord. That makes it a Cmaj7 which sounds a bit better. Thanks for the vid!!
