How to play Toosie Slide: key, chords and progression

Toosie Slide by Drake is in the key of G♯ minor (five sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯, A♯). The song uses 3 chords: E, F# and G#m.

The progression the song keeps returning to is E – F# – G#m – E (VI – VII – i – VI in G♯ minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes C, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
