Guitar Chords and Tabs
This is another melodious song from Shanker Ehsaan Loy camp. It is sung by Shankar Mahadevan and Adnan Sami along with the beautiful voice of Shreya Goshal. As it happens with most SEL songs, the more you listen, the more you love it!
The chords are fairly simple though barre chords will be preferred. The strumming pattern is also uncomplicated.

The strumming pattern used in the song is very simple with just 2 down strokes. It can be ornamented in various parts of the song with another stroke to make a connected rhythm.

Love & Life
Only A Biker Knows Why A Dog Sticks Its Head Out Of A Car Window – Anonymous
Today, at 6 am in the morning of 16th Jan, 2009 I would be leaving for the first Bike Tour of my life. With two other bikers, I would be covering best part of Central India including M.P. and U.P. on my Pulsar 150. Check out the map below:
It would be a 16-day trip. Hope to have a good time there! The blog won’t be updated for this time period. I will be clicking lots of photos and maintaining a travelogue throughout the journey which I will publish on the blog later.
Wish me Luck ! Adieu !

Bloggings
I would like to show a very interesting statistics which re-affirms my belief that the traffic of this blog depends a lot upon the happenings in Bollywood.
I posted the song Give Me Some Sunshine from the movie 3 Idiots more than a month before the scheduled release of the movie. 19th November to be precise. If you will notice the graph below, the page views leading up to the release date are marginal and pretty constant averaging about 150 views a day.
On 25th December, 2009 when the movie released, the page views for the song rose to 420. It kept on increasing and is currently averaging over 1000 page views a day except on new year eve when people would of course be celebrating instead of checking out guitar chords!
There is a very obvious conclusion that can be drawn from this statistics that the movie release brought a lot of attention to that song which was earlier not heard by many.
I hope you enjoyed the movie and the song as much as I did! Happy Guitarin’ !

Guitar Chords and Tabs
Finally, 2009 is gone and we enter the next decade with 2010.
The year gone by has been a special journey both in terms of the blog’s growth in readership and the wonderful songs that Bollywood has given us. As a tribute to it, I am listing some of the wonderful guitar songs that came in 2009. It is by no means a comprehensive list, but still pretty useful for someone who wants to learn guitar.
So here it goes.

There are many more songs which are worth mentioning but I have listed the ones that I covered on my blog. This year I will try to cover even more songs! If you want to suggest some more great songs for guitar that hit us in 2009, tell them to us in the comments. Happy 2010 !!

polls
Hey all!
It is time for a new poll here at AbhinavSonkar.com. Please excuse me as this poll is not at all related to guitar, but I thought this would still be interesting enough to find out!
So here goes…

Loading ...
The movie 3 Idiots has touched all our hearts. And that is all because of the 3 idiots who help us realize the fallacies within our system and in us too. Be it the god-fearing Raju, the satisfied-with-everything Farhan or the heart-following, happy-go-lucky Rancho! Equally interesting is the character of Chatur who expertises in deteriorating the environment around him with his silent missiles! The cute Pia is highly appealing. And finally, the dangerous VIRUS BUDDHA ! As the director of a top college, he manages to terrorize us with his uncharacteristic style of speaking and personality!
So who do you think tunes with you the most? Whom do you resemble? Let’s be honest and try to improve upon our shortcomings.
In the end, whatever you are and whatever you have gone through, just tap your heart and say, Aall Izz Well !

Guitar Lessons and Tutorials
Hello all !!
I would like to stress on the art of listening especially for new guitarists..It is very likely that due to todays technology age, we have the required information at our finger tips…a few searches and we have the chords….It is good but i would also suggest the newbies to simultaneously train their ears for finding the chords of the song….
Here are a few pointers that will help you improve your ear:
- Listen to the song a number of times first until you can imagine the tune and the music even without listening!
- Once you get the feel of the song, find which key the song is in. The key of the song is usually the FIRST chord that is played in the song.
- Using the chord progressions, you can find the chords of that song. Once done, play along with the song for a number of times.
- Practicing the strumming along with the song will develop your skills for the future rather than directly seeing from the net….try different strumming patterns and see the best which suits the song.
- This exercise will be very difficult in the start but gradually with practice it will be much more easy…
Friends, it is important to understand listening for developing yourself as a guitarist…If u can read music through your heart, then getting the rest will be very easy for you ..:-)…So tune in now and start strumming…!
