I've watched the video and it seems like he is playing around the 12th fret (roughly) which doesn't match with what you mentioned in your comment about ska parts being incorrect. I may be missing something, but common sense dictates that such a fast muted sound cannot be achieved on such low frets.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with your comment about version 3 being dead on and the chords not fitting. While it may be a matter of personal preference, I think that these particular chords work well for this composition.

I couldn't agree more with oddling8, he is spot on!
