Flashing Lights — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
234 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Flashing Lights" by Kanye West: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of F#, 90 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for extended chord shapes — you'll be voicing minor 7ths and minor 9ths like Bm9, C#m7, and F#m9, which means stretching your right hand comfortably across four or five notes while keeping your wrist relaxed.
Your left hand stays grounded in a pedal bass pattern, so the real challenge is letting that hand stay steady while your right hand navigates some wide-interval jumps, especially moving into that C major chord, which sits outside the key and will catch your fingers off guard if you haven't drilled it.
Start hands-separate at around 60 BPM, focusing on the Bmin–Bm7–Bm9 cluster first — the differences are subtle, just one or two notes shifting, but getting them clean matters.
Once that feels natural, loop the C to C#m7 transition until it's automatic; that half-step shift is where most students stumble.
At 90 BPM the groove should feel relaxed, not rushed, so resist speeding up early.
This is the piece that'll make minor 9th voicings feel like home in your hands.
