How to play tv off by Kendrick Lamar on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play Em, Am, B, E, F, F# and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a strong pick if you want a tight, driving groove that feels confident and modern. At about 120 BPM, it sits in a fast, focused pocket that rewards clean changes and steady time, so it feels satisfying once you lock in.

You will use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, with the harder grips showing up right away. The opening progression, F#m - Bm - C# - F#m, means you need to move smoothly between barre chords and keep an eye on the jump back to F#m, since that change can break the flow if you rush it.

Start by looping just the opening four-chord cycle slowly until each shape lands cleanly. Then connect the transitions in pairs, add the full progression, and only after that bring it up to tempo. Once your hands know the moves, focus on staying relaxed and even.

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.
