Ed, I don't think a nylon string guitar is going to do the trick. Take Harvey's suggestion to use some lower register chords - in fact, ditch the barre chords as much as possible. You can use some simple 3 string chords and alternate picking the bass notes to give you some variety.

Take note of how Jason is playing this one live on this YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYhrYHmUPn0

He's really only hitting the top 3 strings quite a bit of the time.

You did a great job hitting the notes vocally - that's a tough song to sing. Jason does rock it to make the girls hearts melt away doesn't he?

And you gotta love the Djembe player's style!

Oh, and you gotta get the leg action in there that Jason starts up at 4:30!
