Hotline Bling — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
161 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Hotline Bling" by Drake: 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 D, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with borrowed chords — that Bb and Bbmaj7 are what give the track its melancholic color against the key of G, and they'll feel unfamiliar at first.
Your left hand stays in an octave bass pattern throughout, so lock that in first at around 80 BPM before adding the right hand.
The trickiest moment is the transition from C into Bb or Bbmaj7, because your hand has to shift quickly down a half step; drill just that two-chord move on a loop until it feels automatic.
Watch the Dsus4 as well — hold that fourth finger steady and resist resolving it early.
At 120 BPM the groove should feel laid-back, not rushed, so lean slightly behind the beat rather than pushing ahead.
Once these borrowed-chord shapes click here, you'll recognize them everywhere in modern pop and hip-hop writing.
