A Quirkish Train Experience

Guitar Chords: Ab Na Jaa, Euphoria

Euphoria has come up with many hit numbers over the years through its various albums and some of the songs have gone on to top the chartbusters. This particular romantic song, Ab Na Jaa was a big hit but somehow I missed it completely, until a new net friend of mine, Neha brought my attention to the song.

Since then, I haven’t lost a moment in penning down the chords of the song. They are pretty simple but use barre chords so you need to know that to play this song.

Oh what a beautiful song it is !! The melancholic music of the song comes out subtly in the use of minor chords in the root notes. Mohit Chauhan has sung it very well.

Pehli Nazar Mein, Atif Aslam [VIDEO RECORDING]

Many of my readers were asking me to post videos of the songs that I put up here at my blog. But there were two things that were stopping me from publishing a video. First, I am an awful singer and needed to find someone who could accompany me on the guitar. Second, I don’t possess a good camera. Finally I managed to obtain a digital camera from a friend. One of my office friends, Bikram, is singing the song while I am strumming the guitar. Do let me know in the comments about what you think of this little cameo.

To know the chords of this song, check out Guitar Chords: Pehli Nazar Mein, Race by Atif Aslam.

If you want to submit your own video recording, send the video link over to xsreality [AT] abhinavsonkar.com with a small description and if it is good, it will be published here.
