Guitar Chords: Pani Da Rang, Vicky Donor

Abhinav — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 17:43:11 +0000

I am back with a new song that beginners are gonna love! All of you who have now got a hang of Basic Open Chords, this song will be a nice addition to your list of “playable songs”. In the key of Em, this song uses open chords C and D only. Moving between these chords should also be very easy.

The Punjabi song, sung by Ayushman himself, has a very nice and crisp strumming pattern. It involves couple of UP strokes at equal intervals. Here goes the strumming pattern:

| 1&2& | 3&4& | 5&6& | 7&8& |
| D-DU | -UD- | -U-U | D--- |

Notice the 3rd part of the bar which has two UP strokes at same interval. Playing that correctly will get you the proper sound.

Next up is the chords:

Guitar Chords: Jo Bhi Main, Rockstar

Abhinav — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 09:28:52 +0000

So, how many of you loved the movie Rockstar? Loved it or not, you can’t really dislike the awesome music by A R Rahman! Amongst all the wonderful songs, the one that stands apart for me is Jo Bhi Main which essentially captures the crux of the whole movie very well.

The song revolves around one of the Jazz chords, Em7 – E minor 7th chord, although the song is by no means Jazzy . (Is it just me or has A R Rahman recently used 7th chords in quite a few of his songs?) Another interesting chord is C6. Other than that it uses basic open chords like Gmaj and Dmaj. So beginners can easily play this song.

So how do you play this Em7 chord? Here is the chord representation. Pretty simple. Hold the (very easy) Em chord with your 1st and 2nd finger. Now put your pinky (little finger) on the 2nd string, 3rd fret. Hit all the strings as the root note is open 6th string. Sounds nice? That’s Em7 chord.

C6 chord? Again very simple. Here’s the chord representation. Hold the regular Cmaj chord and just lift your 3rd finger from the root note, 5th string to get the C6 chord.

Now that the chords are done, what about strumming pattern. The pattern that works for this song is this:

| 1&2& | 3&4& | 5&6& | 7&8& |
| D--- | D--U | -U-U | D--- |

This strumming pattern works for the whole song. You can ornament the pattern by adding more strokes at the end to make it sound richer.

Here’s the complete song. As always, let me know any suggestions

(Em7)Ya ya ya .. o yeah yeah .. ya ya .. oo oo ..

[MUKHDA]

(Em7)Jo bhi main, (Em7)kehna chahoon
(Em7)Barbaad karein, (Em)alfaz mere, (Em)alfaz mere

(Em7)Oo yeah yeah .. oo oo .. ja ja ja ..

[ANTRA 1]

(G) Kabhi mujhe lagey ke jaise,
(D) saara hi yeh jahaan hai jadoo
(C6) Jo hai bhi aur nahin bhi hai yeh,
(D) fiza ghata hawa bahaarein

(G) Mujhe kare,(D) ishaare yeh
(C6) Kaise kahoon,(D) kahani main inki

(Em7)Jo bhi main, (Em7)kehna chahoon
(Em7)Barbaad karein, (Em)alfaz mere, (Em)alfaz mere

(Em7)Oo yeah yeah ..

[ANTRA 2]

(G) Maine yeh bhi socha hai aksar
(D) Tu bhi main bhi sabhi hai sheeshe
(C6) Khudhi ko hum sabhi main dekhein
(D) Nahin hoon main hoon main toh phir bhi

(G) Sahi galat,(D) tumhara main
(C6) Mujhe paana,(D) paana hai khud ko

(Em7)Jo bhi main, (Em7)kehna chahoon
(Em7)Barbaad karein, (Em)alfaz mere, (Em)alfaz mere

(Em7)Oo yeah yeah .. oo oo ..

Guitar Chords: Senorita, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara [2011]

Abhinav — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 09:32:45 +0000

A beautiful Spanish song from one of the superhit movie of this year, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. I am a bit late in posting this but I hope it is useful for all of you.

First question in everybody’s mind I am sure is: “What is the strumming pattern?”

It may sound difficult but it is actually very easy. Here it is:

| 1&2& | 3&4& | 5&6& | 7&8& |
| D--U | --D- | -U-U | -UDU |

The first three bars are the important ones. A DOWN stroke, an UP stroke and a DOWN stroke followed by two UP strokes. The last bar is only there to add rhythm following up to the first bar. Match it with the song to understand the timing.

There are quite a few chords in this song. Important ones are:

A: X02220
Bm: X04432
E: 022100
D: XX0232
C#: XX3121
F#m: 244222

So here goes the song:

(A) – (A) x2

(A)……………………….
¿quién eres tú? (who are you?)

(A)……………………….
¿dónde has estado? (where have you been?)

(A)……………………………….(Bm)…..
he removido cielo y tierra y no te encontré
(i’ve moved the heaven and the earth but i couldn’t find you)

(Bm)…………………………….
y llegas hoy (but you arrive today)

(Bm)……………………..
tan de repente (so suddenly)

(Bm)………………………………(A)……….
y das sentido a toda mi vida con tu querer
(and you give meaning to my whole life with your love)

Na main sam(A)jha, na main (A)jaana
Jo bhi (A)tumne mujhse kaha hai Seno(Bm)rita
Magar phir (Bm)bhi, na jaane (Bm)kyun
Mujhe (Bm)sunke accha laga hai Seno(A)rita [Stop Strumming]

……………..(E)………………..
no desvíes la mirada (don’t look away)

………………(A)…………
quédate cerca de mí (stay close to me)

Mujhko baahon mein tum (E)ghero
Samjhi na seno(A)rita

Chaahat ke (D)do pal bhi, mil (A)paaye
(C#7)Duniya mein yeh bhi kam (F#m)hai kya
Do pal ko (D)toh aao kho (A)jaaye
(C#7)Bhoole hum hota gham (F#m)hai kya (A)senorita
Su(D)no suno seno(Bm)rita kehte (A)hain (A)hum (A)kya

(A)……………………….
jamás podré (i will never)

(A)……………………….
interpretar (understand)

(A)……………………………(Bm)…..
el sentado de las palabras que me dedicas
(the meaning of the word you dedicate to me)

(Bm)…………………………….
perl el calor (but the warmth)

(Bm)…………………………….
de tu mirar (of your gaze)

(Bm)…………………………….(A)……..
me hace sentir combo la más bella señorita
(makes me feel like the most beautiful)

Nighaahon (A)ne nighaahon (A)se
Kahi (A)armaano ki daastan hai seno(Bm)rita
Yeh chaahat (Bm)ki, mohabbat (Bm)ki
Saari (Bm)duniya mein ek hi zubaan hai seno(A)rita

Mujhse ab nazar na (E)phero
aao paas tum me(A)re
Mujhko baahon mein tum (E)ghero
Samjhi na seno(A)rita

(F#7)Jo bhi pal bee(Bm)ta
(B)Hey senori(Em)ta
(G)Har pal tumne hai dil (D)jeeta
Bus (E)itni si toh baat (A)hai

……………..(E)………………..
no desvíes la mirada (don’t look away)

………………(A)…………
quédate cerca de mí (stay close to me)

Mujhko baahon mein tum (E)ghero
Samjhi na seno(A)rita

The first month of the year 2011 comes with a beautiful song by Pritam sung by Sonu Nigam (original) and Naresh Iyer (Reprise) from the movie Dil To Baccha Hai Ji.

Pritam has used his trademark arrangement pattern for this song as well but still, listening to it feels like a fresh breath of air. The movie itself is getting good reviews.

The chords used in the song are fairly simple and should be easy if you are comfortable with barre chords. If you have difficulties with barre chords, check out this lesson.

Check out the chords and the strumming pattern and let me know in comments below if you like it or for any suggestions.

The strumming pattern of the song is also quite simple. It goes like this:

Guitar Chords: Zindagi Do Pal Ki, Kites [2010]

Abhinav — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 12:07:53 +0000

This song is a beautiful fusion of classical suitar with the beautiful strumming of acoustic guitar and a spray of electric guitar here and there. It’s a very short song which has been sung superbly by KK. I love his voice! Strumming pattern is very similar to the one used in Aye Khuda.

If you want to avoide barre chords, you can use a capoe on the 4th fret and play simple open chords. It is given below.

Finally, after a lot of time and many requests, I have finally come up with a barre chords lesson. This is one of the most important lessons here on this blog. Before getting into details, lets clear for whom this lesson is intended for.

If you are absolutely and surely comfortable with below points:

Playing Basic Open Chords.
Shifting between Open Chords without the need of looking at the fret board.
Have been practicing guitar for at least 8-12 months.

If you think that you are ready with all the above things, then continue reading!

Barre chords is the key thing to playing variety of chords. Once you master the barre chords, you will be awakened to a new vista of possibilities on guitar. There will be very few songs which you won’t be able to play after learning barre chords.

But of course, it is not so easy to master. You will have to practice a lot (A LOT) with practically no results initially. But your persistence will definitely pay off and in a big way!

An important concept to understand as a requisite to learning barre chords is the Root Note. Check out this lesson if you haven’t already done so.

Let’s delve into the barre chords !

Types of Barre Chords

Barre chords are formed using two basic shapes (E shape and A shape) and their variations.

6th String Root (E shape)

These barre chords have the root note on the 6th string. They are called the E shape chords, since they resemble the open E chord. Knowing the CAGED system will help here!

As you can see in the image on the left, the root note is on the 6th string. The fingers 2,3 and 4 form the open E chord shape, hence the name.

The barring of the fret is achieved using the index finger. The index finger will press all the strings which is effectively the nut in the open chords.

Let’s remove the 2nd finger from the above chord to get to the minor version…

The Minor Chord version

As shown in the image, we have lifted off the 2nd finger on the 3rd string.

The important thing here is to ensure that the 3rd string open note should not get muted when you hold the chord. Adjust your barred index finger accordingly to be able to play the minor note.

Now let’s check out the 7th versions!

The Major 7th version

As you can see, instead of the 2nd finger, we have lifted the little finger (4th). This is the major 7th barre chord. So if the root note is on the 5th fret of 6th string (A note), it would be the A major 7th barre chord (Amaj7).

Easy isn’t it? The minor 7th version is even more simple. Check it out!

The Minor 7th version

In the minor 7th barre chords, we lift off both 2nd and 4th finger.

Remember, the index finger is still barring the fret as before… and the 3rd finger is holding the the 5th string.

5th String Root A Shape Major Chords

The basics is all same except the root note now is on the 5th string instead of the 6th string. While playing 5th root barre chords, remember to mute the 6th string using the tip of your index finger.

As you can see in the image on the left, the 3rd finger is holding 2,3,4 strings in a shape which is similar to open A chord. Hence the name A major shape barre chords.

Playing this chord requires hell lot of practice, since it includes simultaneous barring of index finger and the 3rd finger. It will be almost impossible to play the 1st string as the the 3rd finger will mute it. Don’t worry it’s fine!

Ensure that the 6th string is not being played. Mute it using the tip of the first finger.

The Minor version

The minor version is nothing but the E major shape we saw earlier but moved down by a string.

Make sure the 6th string is not ringing.

The Major 7th version

In the minor version above, just lift the 2nd finger and move your 4th finger one string below to the 2nd string. Now you will be playing the major 7th barre chords of 5th string roots.

Shouldn’t be difficult with a bit of practice.

The Minor 7th version

Instead of lifting the 2nd finger, lift the little finger as shown in the image. This will give the minor 7th barre chords for 5th string roots.

These are all the types of barre chords that you need to know to be able to play any song. The root note that you are playing is the name of the relevant barre chord.

The beauty of barre chords is that you can move the left hand up or down the frets to form new chords. For e.g., if the root note is moved to the 1st fret on the 6th string (F note) and keep the same E chord shape, we will get the F major barre chord. Now move it two frets down to the 3rd fret, you will get the G major barre chord. The one in between them (2nd fret) would be the F# major barre chord and so on…

Tips on Practicing Barre Chords

Barre chords needs lots of practice. Just remember that and don’t give up midway.
The index finger which is barring the fret should be rolled over to its side to about 30-40 degrees and not flat.
When playing minor barre chords, the 2nd finger is free. It can be used to assist the first finger in barring the chord.
The muscle between first finger and thumb needs to become strong… practice !
The left hand thumb should be pressing the back of the fret-board.
The index finger should not go too much beyond the sixth fret above the fret board. Give the pressure from the tip to the bottom.
While holding the chord, play each note sequentially to identify whether any string is getting muted. In early phase of practicing, muting will be a problem.
Ensure that you are muting the 6th string in 5th string root barre chords with the tip of your index finger else it will sound very bad.
Be patient. It will take time but you will get better eventually.
