Fun Fact: For the song Pritam, the composer went to Nikhil Paul George, who wasn’t a mainstream singer of Bollywood. He did this because he wanted someone with an unpolished, pure, and boyish voice. This will help the singer to match up with the character of Ranbir Kapoor in the movie.

Welcome to the guitar lesson on the song that went viral on everyone’s feed, showing up in surreal landscape visuals – Gul by Anuv Jain. The song was also popular among the youth because of the artist’s other relatively more viral songs. It has received over 64 million views on YouTube since its release in 2021. 

Gul in Urdu means flower. The song is about the flower that people keep and forget in their storybooks. It talks about how we dream about fairytales in the dusty and mystical books, which often don’t come true, and that that is okay. We’ll be okay because we have that spark within us – Jaadugari.

The line “toote makaan ek baar gir kar waise bante kahan hain”, which translates to broken houses are not rebuilt the same way, was a metaphorical motif that became insanely popular on social media.

Gul Guitar Lesson

The lesson on Gul is a comprehensive section-by-section tutorial of the song that goes over all the parts of the song – chords and rhythm, song arrangement, and full song demonstration. The tutor also explains how to play the song using a capo and also without the capo. 

The song features and can be played using all the standard chord shapes like Am, Em, Fsus2, and C, but the unique thing about this song is the rhythm pattern that involves a picking pattern for playing the chords. There is also a way to play the song that involves a strumming pattern without applying the intensive picking technique. The strumming pattern goes something like D - D - U D U D U D - D U - (D is a downward strum and U is an upward strum.)

The song features an Fsus2 chord, which is a suspended chord. Suspended chords, as their name suggests, have a light tension to them that wants a release and a G major sound after an Fsus2 is a suitable resolution.

The song can also be played without the capo, as instructed by the tutor, which would then require you to play the barre chords, transposing the chords. The song has a 6/8 time signature, which can be counted as ‘1 and 2 and’.
