hey gud work i was thinking of posting this but i guess i'm not sure abt the Am in the verse......i use C only.....neways gud one.....rock on!!!!!

 

Jimmy,

I think the Am is fine where it is.

Rohan:

I have a few alterations to this in certain parts which are highlighted. Most importantly, I noticed an alternate use of Em and G in the "O Meri Jaan parts", which I have marked in bold, but am not too sure of coz the recording I have doesn't really let me identify bass-lines properly.

Here's my take (as usual - borrowed from yours) :


Intro:
G-G(add9)-G-G(add9)-Em---Em---
G-G(add9)-G-G(add9)-Em---Em---
G---Em---Bm---C-D7-
G---Em---Bm---D---

Verse:
G------------Em-
dil khudgarz hai
-----------Am------------D-
phisla hai yeh phir haat se
G----------Bm
kal uska raha
----------C----------D-
aab hai tera is raat se

Chorus:
-------G------Bm-------C-
o meri jaan uuhuuu uuuhuu
D------Em/G----Bm-------C--
o meri jaan uuhuuu uuuhuu
D------Em/E---
o meri jaan

Interlude #1:
G---Em---Am---G-D-
G---Em---Am---G-D-
G---G---

Post-Chorus:
G----------------Em------
tu aa gaya yuh nazar main
Am--------------D-------
jaise subah dopaher main
---------G-------------------Em----
madhoshi yun hi nahin dil pe chhayi
Am-------------D---
neyat ne li angrayi
---------G------------Bm-
chhuwa tune kuch is tarah
--------C-----------D-
badli fiza, badla sama

Repeat Chorus

Interlude #2:
A---Em---A---Em---
A---Em---A---Em---

Outro:
Em----------------------Bm-------
nadan samjhe na hai yeh dil mera
Em-----------------------Bm------
jaanu naa jaanu naa isko kya hua
-----F-----------------------C--------
teri bahon ki phir se dhunde yeh panah
---------G--
tu hai kahan
---------D--
tu hai kahan

Last chorus:
-------G------Bm-------C-
o meri jaan uuhuuu uuuhuu
D------Em/G----Bm-------C--
o meri jaan uuhuuu uuuhuu
-------G------Bm-------C-
o meri jaan uuhuuu uuuhuu
D------Em/G----Bm-------C--
o meri jaan uuhuuu uuuhuu
D------Em/E---
o meri jaan

Cheers!

@ jimmy_cool ~ thanks for that suggestion. i guess sheermelody already cleared that thing.

@ sheermelody ~ frankly speaking i was kinda waiting for you to make these alterations.
i'm sure my chords are not that bad.
but your chords are like bingo.
reps added.
1 question - isn't Em/E and Em the same thing ?

 

Confusion about strum pattern

hi

everywhere chords re specified. at my training class ive learnt 8 strum patern but im helpless as hav no idea which to use fr this song, n fr other comon songs also. Why is tht ppl only mention chords n pattern is nt mentioned anywhere?

 

@ravinderjeet---I feel that strumming pattern is always upto the mood of the guitarist for except some songs...hope tht others will agree

But you can play it like this:
D.D...DDU....DUDU

 

sorry ravinderjeet.
galti se mistake ho gaya.
i'll keep it in mind from the next time.
well i play it like this | d - d - | du du d - |.

and i completely agree with what sayantan has said.

 

Rohan: You are right Em/E is basically Em with E as the bass. I just wrote it to make a clear distinction from the previous Em chord (which I felt had a G for the bass ... I have written Em/G for that one). As in:

D------Em/G----Bm-------C--
o meri jaan uuhuuu uuuhuu
D------Em/E---
o meri jaan

The first is Em/G, the second is Em/E. Both are Em, yet they sound just a little different. I am still not 100% sure that the first chord is Em with G bass. As I said, the version I have is pretty bad sound-quality wise. I am trying to get hold of a better version, and will clarify soon.

 

Hey guys i think you ur graet

 

thanks for this.....another one of my favs.

 

tht 1 was gud mr. sheermelody.... no doubt at all

 

Just tried it today...i played it like this
F Bb
Dil Khudgarj hai
C F
Fisla hai ye fir hat se
....................
Dm# C Bb
O meri jaaaaaaaaaan uhuuuuuuuu uhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Try this and let me know...

 

^ doesn't quite work for me.

 

F doesnt go dude its G only........provide d end lead if possible and also the starting arpegio.....

 

great... great work..

well i really satisfy with ur work... kepp posting.....

u rockkkkkkk:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

 

gud work dude.....really liked ur work.....but instead of D that u hv used in O meri jaan part u cud hv used Bm.......but still it sounds ok

 

.................

sheermelody u did a gud job but u used "Em/E" chord .. this is wrong i mean there is no (Em/E) chord in guitar history .....

 

Dude it's just to differentiate between the Em/G (which has the G bass inversion) and the normal Em, with the E bass note (Em/E).

I know there is nothing like Em/E

 

None of these chords are 100% right..
