Turn It On by Level 42 is played in the key of C#m. Originally recorded in the sounding key of C#m, 'Turn It On' by Level 42 is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 2, enabling guitarists to execute friendly Bm shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. The F#m7 barre chord can be voiced as a partial three-string triad on upper strings to preserve momentum and prevent fingertip strain while practicing. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between F#m7 and G#m7: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
