About “Burn For You”

Can I sing "Burn For You" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?

What key is the piano accompaniment for "Burn For You" by John Farnham in?

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.

Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Burn For You", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Burn For You" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in G#, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Burn For You" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
