   Hi Abhinav,
   Firstly, nice web site. Like the way you are managing hobbies (Music/Guitar) and technology – (this web site), business – (Adwords), and career ( first job). Good job you are doing here. Keep it up.

   This song from KC (Kismat Connection) awesome. I like it too.

   Want to ask you about learning Guitar.

   Where should one start from to learn guitar ?

   When I look at music shops here in US, ofcourse all of them are western type. Can you suggest a good book for learning Indian style of Guitar? What did your teacher begin with ? Any pointers in the right direction is greatly appreciated.
   Thanks
   Sri…

   Hi Sri! Thanks for that round up! I pursue my other passion of computers at http://www.xsrealities.com. Check it out as well!

   Ya, I have been humming this song for quite a long time now!

   About learning guitar, if you are a complete newbie, then you will need a trainer to get you started. Here in India, I started with indian notations of songs along with the basic concepts of guitar and music theory. There is no harm in learning western notations as well (in fact, I am thinking of treading in that direction too!). Books will take you only so far in music theory, but for learning guitar you need an expert’s help at the start. Then you can continue yourself.

   I will suggest you this: If you are a complete newbie, go enroll with a good guitar teacher and learn the basics. If you have already done that then learn the internet notations (the one I use on this website) and start practicing yourself. That’s the best bet for you.

   Hope this helps!

   Amit, The D and U stand for DOWN and UP respectively and the hyphen (-) means rest.

    @faisal… I have given the rhythm, you can just replace the D with ‘^’ and U with ‘v’. Try to play along with the song, then you will get it.

    @nisha… That song is in the key of G, maybe G, Bm, Em and D chords fit. I am not sure try it out and tell me!

16. Kshitij Says July 27, 2008 8:53 pm

    Hey Abhinav, good that you mentioned of the key of G. So when we say the key of G, are we referring to the G scale?

    @nisha : Try this rhythm.
    D – D U – U D U
    where each strum or rest is one-eighth of a measure.

    Reply to this comment

17. Abhinav Says July 27, 2008 8:59 pm

    Yup Kshitij, the key of G refers to the G scale. It also refers to the G progression which usually includes the above chords.

    Are you sure the rhythm you mentioned is one-eighth or one-fourth of a measure?

    Abhinav also take a look at the 2nd line of the 2nd antra ((D) … kaise ba(D)taye tumhe, (D)labz wo (D)saare, (D) jism ko jo mehkate (D)hai.) I’ve not tried playing the song yet but looks like it needs correction. The line sounds same as the first line of the antra, the chords should be the same.

    Thanx Kshitij for pointing out that error. I just copied it from the first antra and forgot to edit it. Post updated!

    hi, i need the chords of “aa paas aa sanam” song frm the movie ankahee. and plz tell me the rhythem also for that song.

21. Kshitij Says August 7, 2008 12:00 am

    @Abhinav : The rhythm that I had written is for four beats(which will make a measure for this song, right?). So each strum will last for one-eighth of a measure. Correct me if I’m wrong.

    Also I was reading about progressions. A common progression that I came across is I-IV-V. So if we are in the key of G then this progression gives G, C, D, Am, Bm and Em as the (commonly used) chords (Correct?), which includes the chords you mentioned for the song “is this love”.

    So this leads to one more question. How does one figure out what key is a song in?(Like you said that the song is in key of G)

    Hi Kshitij!

    If you are talking about each strum then it is one-eighth of a measure. You are right. Usually, it is counted in a pair of strums which is equivalent to a beat and thus it becomes one-fourth of a measure.

    Yup knowing a progression helps in guessing the chords involved in the song but you still need to hear the song first to recognize the correct progression!

    Recognizing the key requires lots of ear training and practice. It develops with time. Try to remember the sound of every scale and chord and then recognize it when you are hearing a song on TV or radio. I am also in the learning process and no expert in this. For e.g. I mistook the song Kahin To from JTYJN in the scale of A when actually it is in the scale of Bb. But I found it easier to play it in the scale of A so tuning the guitar down by half a step was the better option. Keep practicing and keep challenging yourself!

    Hey Cilton, it happens due to change of seasons as the wood expands and contracts… The guitar might not be sounding right as well. You should take the guitar to a good shop or to an expert guitar teacher. He will set it alright for you.

    Hi Abhinav
    Dont u think that it is important to first write the notes i.e the lead of the song and then easily
    the chords follow. This will definitely end the discussions to a certain extent as to which chords
    suit or fit better.
    Please comment.
    Thanks

    The easiest way to ascertain the chords is to follow the bass. It will always point you to the accurate chord. Of course, knowing the key helps as well.
    As to suitability of chords, to each their own! Choose the scale that matches your voice.
