This is the definitive original version of Halftime by Nas, transcribed exactly as it was recorded in the studio. Unlike our simplified arrangement, this chart preserves the precise chord voicings and progressions in the original key of B minor. It suits players who want to learn Halftime the way Nas intended, without oversimplifying the arrangement.
