SZA - Kill Bill

How to play SZA - Kill Bill by SZA on guitar

This song is a great pick if you want a moody, modern groove that feels smooth and steady at about 120 BPM. You get a repeating, catchy progression that is easy to lock into once your hands settle, and it sounds satisfying even at a beginner level.

Most of the chart leans on barre shapes, so your fretting hand will need to stay relaxed and efficient. The opening move, D#m to G# to Fm to A#m, is the change to watch most closely - keep your fingers close to the strings so the shifts stay clean. If you use the open shapes where they appear, they should feel like a brief break from the barre work.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, one chord at a time, until the shapes feel automatic. Then loop the full sequence without stopping, making the chord changes as small as possible. Once that feels stable, bring the tempo up in small steps until you can play it smoothly at speed.

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.
