This entry is part 39 of 39 in the series Guitar

The golden era of black and white songs 🙏🏼. This song, an epitome of simplicity and melody of an era with Geeta Dutt’s brilliance and of O.P. Nayyar’ music riding the waves. One of my favourite songs.

Song is in the scale of G

Chords

[Chorus]
[G] तुम जो हुये मेरे [Am] हमसफ़र, [D] रस्ते बदल [G] गये
[G] लाखों दिये मेरे [Am] प्यार [D] की राहों में [C] जल [G] गये

[G] क्या मंज़ि[D]लें [C] क्या कार[Am]वाँ,
बाहों में [D] तेरी है [C] सारा [G] जहां
[G] आ जान-ए-[D]जां, [C] चल दे व[Am]हाँ,
मिलते [D]जहाँ है [C]ज़मीन [G] आसमान
[G] मंज़िल से भी कही [Am] दूर [D] हम आज निकल [G] गये
[G] लाखों दिये मेरे [Am] प्यार [D] की राहों में [C] जल [G] गये

[G] आया म[D]ज़ा, [C] लाया न[Am]शा,
तेरे ल[D]बों की बहा[C]रों का [G] रंग
[G] मौसम ज[D]वां, [C] साथी ह[Am]सीं,
उस पे न[D]ज़र के इ[C]शारों का [G] रंग
[G] जितने भी रंग थे [Am] सब ते[D]री आखों में ढल [G] गये
[G] लाखों दिये मेरे [Am] प्यार [D] की राहों में [C] जल [G] गये

Such a lovely and soothing song from the movie Lootera. Song is in the key of E.

e|-4-5------- B|---4------- G|---4------- D|---4-------

Now, simply with this B7 leading us to the key of E, where the next lick starts. I think its played in Mandolin. All the close notes are played tremolo-style.

B|---------7--------------------------- G|-8-8-8-9----------------------------- D|-------------------------------------

e|------------------------------------- B|-7-10-10-9-7------------------------- G|-------------9---8--9--8--6--8/9-----

This finishes the intro, now simply strum E (D-D-U-D-U-D) once and below notes all in one go.
D|-4/6--6------------------------------
(x3)

Verse

For the following 2 lines, just strum downstroke once

[B] जहाँ नहीं [A] जाना था ये, [E] वहीँ चला हाय रे

This melody sung by Ronkini Gupta is an absolute gem. Entire song is just a single guitar and vocals. And Ronkini’s classical stance adds magic.

Its in the key of B major, Add a capo on 4th fret to sound close to the original.

Guitar Chords: Ala Barfi

September 23, 2012 Ruturaj Vartak 1 Comment

This entry is part 32 of 39 in the series Guitar

This earthly song from Barfi! movie strikes the chord with the seventies and early eighties. Those who have heard the Murphy radio with their grand parents would relate much better. I prefer the Swanand Kirkire rendition with vocals coming straight through the heart.

Strumming Pattern

There are around 3 basic strumming patterns in this song. One for the normal stanzas and other two for stanza ending and chorus.

Normal Song (pattern1): D DU(muted) D DU(muted)
Ghus fus ghus fus (pattern2): D(muted) U(muted) D(muted) U(muted) D(ring and mute) D(ring and mute). Typically G(down) G(up) G(down) G(up) G(down) G(up) G(ring) wait and C(ring). Pattern stays same for “kabhi na rukta ye re..”
Khur khur pattern: Play same as Ghus fus but the C chord and D chord has to be strung only once
like G(D) G(U) G(D) G(U) G(D) G(U) C(single downstroke) D(single downstroke)

July 25, 2012 Ruturaj Vartak 1 Comment

This entry is part 31 of 39 in the series Guitar

A tribute to Rajesh Khanna, the soulful melody.

[CHORUS]
C                            G
Zindagi ...kaisi hai paheli, haaye
               F                C
Kabhi to hansaaye kabhi ye rulaaye
x2

C                     F
Kabhi dekho man nahi jaage 
                         C
peechhe peechhe sapno ke bhaage
x2

C               G
Ek din sapno ka raahi 
                      F        C
chalaa jaaye sapno ke aage kaha

[CHORUS]
Zindagi...

C                    F
Jinhone sajaaye yaha mele 
                     C
sukh-dukh sang-sang jhele
x2

C                   G
Wahi chunkar khaamoshi 
                F       C
yu chali jaaye akele kaha

[CHORUS]
Zindagi...

Strumming Pattern

Down Down Up … Up

In “chalaa jaaye sapno ke aage kaha”, the C chord has to be struck just once – down stroke, Same for “yu chali jaaye akele kaha”. Alternatively you can ignore strumming after G chord and just strum F chord once followed by last down stroke of C chord giving the “talk” feel.
