Good work abhi.. REPS to you...( Not if I have to spread some )

And, can I follow a strumming pattern whereever you have mentioned to STRUM..?? What goes the strumming like??

nIK!:nw:

 

Good work man .. abhi .. U remember we both play it da same way .. as we did in da MUMBAI MEET .. da adlibs as well as da chords as well as da strummin .. i wish i had posted this before u

 

no probs .,notty...

thk u all...ari,newbie and nik and notty...from now on im gonna put like this only,coz i realize people don get to play the song if we just put the chords...thts why i think makin it this way can make them feel it easy to understnad..thk u all.....again......

 

Good Work.. :rock:

 

can neone tell me the finger position of all these chords will the following work

d:232000
a:022200
or something else plz rep asap

 

rite ones......

 

what abt teh adib part??

kuch to bata kaisa bajana hein??

 

i think this tab shd clear out all the doubts...........

 

hey abhi wat is Bb finger position abhi.....and wat shud be the setting in the pedal to make it sound real

 

Bb is just one fret before of B barred ie...bar the 1st fret and the rest fingers on 3 rd frets of the 2,3 and 4th string....


@spy, the string pluckin is individul re ie u pluck only specific strings while holdin the chords ie...say play 4 2 3 1etc while playin Bm and all....listen to my rec in the soundtrack...still if u dont get,pm me...il record tht part.....

 

cool u've nailed it man.vvery nice details.

hey abhi can u show me the strumming pattern of 2nd half......which u didnt mentioned?.....anyway its a cooll work.....keep it up:dance:

 

oki..il post the rec in the soundforum...chek it dude...

 

cool details man!!!!!!!...good work

 

Hey guys, try power chords too, totally there are 3 guitars in the song,
rhythm which plays the normal chords, lead guitar ( which plays hte lead and hte power chords ) and the bass ( which plays only 4 notes throughout the whole song). Wat has been posted here might suit an acoutic version of the song but not the actual distortion and hte pedal breaks and the palm mutes, it is still good for acoustic version. Another correction is hte the lead of the song starts from the second thin string not the very first thin string.
