How to play Earfquake: key, chords and progression

Earfquake by Tyler, The Creator is centred on F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 7 chords: Bbmaj7, Am7, Gm7, Bmaj7, Asus2, B7 and D7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am7 – Bbmaj7 – Am7 – Gm7 (iii7 – IVmaj7 – iii7 – ii7 in F major). In solfa, that is mi – fah – mi – reh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bbmaj7, Gm7 and Bmaj7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
