JUMP

How to play JUMP by BLACKPINK on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 3 you play G, A, C, Em, Am, E and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is worth learning because it has a driving, upbeat feel and a strong minor-key pull that keeps the energy moving. At about 120 BPM, it should feel punchy and steady once you lock into the groove, with enough repetition to make progress fast.

You’ll use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the left hand gets a good workout. C, G, and F are the easier shapes, while A#, D#, Gm, Cm, and G# will ask for cleaner barre control. The change to watch first is the opening move from A# to C, then into D# and Gm, since that shift sets the pattern for the rest of the song.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, making each chord change clean before worrying about speed. Then practice the barre shapes on their own, add the open chords back in, and finally play along with the full tempo in short sections. Once the changes feel automatic, string the sections together and build up to the full song.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
