Chords for Mere Naina Saawan Bhadon | Guitar Chords Lesson | Pawan

[Cm] _ Hello and welcome to the guitar chord lesson for the song Mere Naina Stavan Bahadur from the film Mehbooba.
The music [N] is by R.D. Verma, the song has been sung by both Kishore Kumar and Lata.
We'll be doing the one by Kishore Da and the song is written by Anand Bakshi.
The song is in C minor and is based on very popular raag Shiv Ranjani.
But it keeps switching from C minor to C major and back, _ especially during the antara of the song.
So there are a fair bit of chords that you need to know.
You need to know [Cm] C minor.
_ _ If you're playing barre chords, that's where we'll be playing.
In a moment I'll show you how you can use a capo and play the song in open chords as well.
So C minor, [F] _ _
F major, _ _ [G] _ G7, _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ Eb major. _
[Fm] You also need to know C [Cm] minor 6.
Play C minor 6 or you can substitute [F] it with F major.
_ [Bb] _ _
You'll also need Bb in the beginning of the [N] song when Kishore Da does the humming. _ _
_ _ Since the song switches from C minor to [C] C major, _ _ you'll also need to know C major. _
_ _ _ If you're _ [N] not comfortable playing barre chords, you could use a capo here on the 3rd fret.
_ _ _ Play in the key of A minor.
[Cm] So you would need to know A minor, which is basically going to be substituting C minor.
Actually it produces the same sound as C minor because the capo is placed here.
_ _ Instead [F] of F major you'll be playing D major. _ _ _ _ _
Instead of Eb [Eb] major you'll be playing C major.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] Then you'll also need to know, instead [Dm] of G7 you'll be playing E7. _
_ Instead [Cm] of _ _ C minor 6 you'll be playing A minor 6.
_ You could substitute it with [F] D.
_ _ [N] And you would also need to know _ G major, which will come just for a short moment in the beginning of the [Bb] song.
_ [N] And as I said, the song switches from C minor to C major.
So instead of A minor you [C] may have to play A major _ in some parts of the song.
[N] So I'm going to play the chords _ _ along the backing track, both using the _ _ barre chords as well as the open chords with the capo.
So before we do that, let's take a look at the strumming pattern.
It's a fairly simple strumming pattern.
Let me play it for you first in the original speed.
And then I'll slow it down and explain it to you step by step.
So if you're playing C minor, this is how it will sound.
[Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'll slow it down. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'll follow the strokes.
Down, up, down, up, up.
Down, up, down, up, up. _
_ _ _ _ _ And if you could play [N] _ _ _ _ the first downstroke on the bass strings, it'll sound better.
So instead of [Cm] _ playing_ _ _ _ _
Play_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And those two [N] upstrokes, you put as much stress as possible.
If possible, if you could mute the strings, it'll give a better effect.
So it should sound something [Cm] like this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ But if you're not able to produce [G] any of those effects, you could just play what I showed [Cm] you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] So that's the strumming pattern.
And now that we know the chords and the strumming pattern, let's go ahead and play along with the song. _
