Guitar Chords: Tum Ho Toh, Rock On!!

Rock On!!

Rock On!!

Rock On released this friday and to everybody’s expectations, the movie rocked the box office. Though the storyline was as obvious as the lyrics of most of the songs, the beauty of this movie was its directness and its simplicity. It managed to touch my heart more than once and then some more. The dialogues of the movie were a fresh breath of air. Oh but I am not here to review the movie!!

I admit I wasn’t excited by the songs during the music release. The lyrics seemed too amusing than amazing. But after seeing the movie and through my lovely friend’s persistence that the songs are good, I ended up enjoying more than I had imagined!

This song can be played on acoustic guitar very well as Arjun Rampal playes it in the movie. (At least he managed to learn the basic chord structures on the guitar!). Farhan Akhtar’s voice is raw but very soothing to the ears.

You can pluck the strings of the chords at the start and later strum the chords. The following strumming pattern can be used: | D- | -D | DUDU |

I had been receiving a lot of comments and requests for various strumming patterns to practice apart from chords. Many people find it difficult to grasp the strumming pattern just by listening to the song. For them this list will be quite useful.

I got it from my guitar teacher long time back and it helped me practice strumming a lot even though I don’t remember most of them!
