REQ: Strumming Pattern to a TABLA beat

Hello All,

There is a song that I like but unfortunately it is not an Indian Song.
I have played the song with tabla before and it is in "DADRA TAL" 6 beats. Someone with tabla experience in this forum might recognize it. I have heard a lot of indian songs with this pattern before but unfortunately can't name any.

it goes like this:

1-2-3-4-5-6
Dhit-Na-Na-Dhit-Dha-Na

each word is a beat (6 beats toal and it is in proper tabla lingo)
and whole pattern repeats for the duration of the song.

I was wondering if anyone could help me come up with a strumming pattern
for this song in proper guitar lingo (ie down up etc where the gaps are etc)

and some chords that this pattern will sound good in. Any cords at this point is ok with me. I just want to get the pattern right. The song by the way is a fast dance tune.

 

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 -
D - - - D - U - D - U -

this can be used for 6/8 rhythms
songs like
Govinda Aaala Re
Mach Gaya Shor
Dekha Na Hai Re Sochana
and the likes

 

Thanks Bandbaaja.. I finally got the pattern.. I started strumming with just open strings.. Then moved to Em...

Any suggestions on what chords I got use to strumm this pattern with That will sound nice.

 

hello world??
There aren't any specific chord patterns for types of strumming!!
As fas as I know.

you can try the typical Goa songs strumming like

G - C - D - D7

 

Thanks again Bandbaaja....

What did you mean by "hello_world??"...

Only if you have the time...

in the field "Search for song or singer:" type "Jama" and click on search.

a list will be displayed. Choose the "Play" option for the first song.

I am the begining stages of guitar learning so I really can't tell what guitar cords will go well with a particular song.

Thanks
