Welcome to the guitar lesson on Uthe Sabke Kadam, a charming, feel-good song from the 1979 romantic comedy Baton Baton Mein. Directed by Basu Chatterjee, the film follows the everyday romance between Amol Palekar and Tina Munim, with the story unfolding in the local trains and cosy apartments of suburban Mumbai. This track, composed by Rajesh Roshan with lyrics by Amit Khanna, brings joy into the narrative. Sung by Lata Mangeshkar, Amit Kumar, and Pearl Padamsee, the song is playful and carefree, much like the spirit of the film itself. It celebrates the small but happy moments of life.

The tune of Uthe Sabke Kadam is famously similar to the American folk song Polly Wolly Doodle, which first appeared in the 1935 Shirley Temple film The Littlest Rebel. While it has sparked conversations around musical inspiration and cultural borrowing, it also shows how melodies can travel and take new forms in different corners of the world. In the film, the song captures a montage of the characters just being themselves.

This lesson is taught by our instructor, Steve Luciano. He breaks down the entire track in a simple, section-by-section format that lets you learn at your own pace.

Steve starts by showing how to position the capo, and then goes straight into the chord shapes with a clear explanation of where your fingers should go and how to transition smoothly between each one.

The strumming in this song is bouncy and follows the upbeat mood of the track. Steve keeps it light, using a basic down-up rhythm with a swing feel. He also shows how to add slight accents to certain beats to match the original groove of the track. One of the great things about this song is that you don’t need to know any advanced music theory to make it sound good. As long as you get the rhythm right and strum with energy, you’ll be able to capture the song’s vibe.

What really helps in this lesson is how Steve focuses on the song’s flow. Instead of just playing the chords in isolation, he walks through how the chords and rhythm work together to carry the melody. He demonstrates how the transitions match with the lyrics and phrasing, which helps you not just play the chords, but actually feel the song. By the end of the lesson, you’ll have a full performance version ready to go.

Humdard from Ek Villian is a textbook example of how minimal harmony should be paired with strong vocals in order to create a long-lasting impact in the hearts of listeners. At first, you might think this song is composed in such a way that it feels static, but the deliberate compositional choices make this song impactful while delivering a sense of emotional longing.

Speaking of guitar chords, in Humdard, they act like a harmonic cushion, and not just a rhythmic engine, which makes the song move forward. This is something guitar learners need to observe, so they don’t use the guitar to drive the groove. Apart from this, the rhythmic density in this song has been kept low intentionally.

​It’s a song that goes pretty well when you pair it with an acoustic guitar. The chord progression you will be learning in this lesson is quite clinical. Instead of adding in a number of different shapes, it returns to familiar ones, thus reinforcing emotional persistence.

​From this guitar lesson by Mike Walker, you will understand how a minor-key harmony can feel warm rather than just dark when it gets paired with gentle dynamics. For this song, you will be mastering the power of the arpeggios, which give more clarity to each note you strike, allowing you to control attack and decay.

​Chords Used in Song Guitar Lesson

Here is the list of primary chords which you will be using from start to finish: Am (A minor), F (F major), C (C major), G (G major).

If you are having a hard time playing F major, which is a barre chord, you can play Fmaj7.

This song follows the typical progression of: Am – F – C – G.

Here are some optional chords which you can add to make light variations: Am7 (instead of Am), Cadd9 (instead of C).

These chords are not mandatory for you to play, but if you do learn to play them, they will add smoothness and emotional depth, especially in slower sections of the song.

Sau Aasmaan Guitar Lesson

Taught by Steve Luciano, this lesson covers how to play "Sau Aasmaan" on guitar. The song is in the key of F#/Gb major, which gives it a bright, uplifting sound. The main chords follow a I-V-vi-IV progression, a common pattern in pop music that makes the song easy to learn but effective.

The strumming pattern uses a steady down-down-up-up-down-up rhythm in 4/4 time. This pattern keeps the energy high while allowing the chords to ring clearly. The verse and chorus use the same chord progression, but the chorus adds more emphasis with fuller strums. The pre-chorus introduces a slight variation with a B-C#-F# movement that builds tension before releasing back to the main progression.

For the lead parts, the song uses the F# major scale (F#-G#-A#-B-C#-D#-E#). The melody moves mostly step-by-step through these notes, with occasional jumps that give it a playful quality. When playing the vocal lines on guitar, focus on smooth transitions between notes and add light vibrato to longer notes for expression.

Beginners should start by mastering the chord shapes and basic strumming pattern. The F# major chord can be challenging at first - try the 2-4-4-3-2-2 barre shape or simplify it to xx4322. Intermediate players can work on matching the vocal melody on guitar. Advanced players should focus on adding embellishments like hammer-ons and slides to make their playing more

expressive.

Welcome to the guitar lesson on a beautiful, melancholic ballad that is Choo Lo by The Local Train, which features an iconic intro and a powerful chorus that gives goosebumps every time you listen to it. The band’s debut album, ‘Aalas ka Ped’, was received with joy and celebrated across the country. The song Choo Lo has over 80 million views on YT.

Choo Lo is a story about romantic longing. The lover exclaims that he is still standing and waiting where she had left him and that she should touch him, or else he’ll be lost. Invoking the feelings of deep melancholy and longing for a loved one, this song resonated with everyone who had ever been in love. 

Choo Lo Guitar Lesson

In this lesson, the tutor goes over all the parts of the song, starting from the basics –key and tuning of the song to the solo section, along with improvisation tips. The first few sections focus on the intro part, followed by sections on rhythm, chords, strumming, and time signatures, followed by the power chord section that covers the chorus part of the song. Finally, the tutor demonstrates a full playthrough of the song.

The interesting thing about Choo Lo guitar chords is that two of them are suspended chords –Asus2 and Bsus2. These chords do not have the major or the minor third in them, which means that the chords don’t have a concrete identity and give a feeling of incompleteness. The incompleteness relates well to the overall narrative of the song, which is about the desire to be acknowledged. 

The tempo of the song is 146 bpm in 4/4 timing, and the strumming pattern is D - - D - U D U D - D - (D is a downward strum, and U is an Upward strum). The tutor meticulously explores all the melody motifs in the song and teaches the solo note by note in the final sections of the lesson.

The lesson also offers Choo Lo lyrics and guitar tabs along with the video lesson.

The real beauty of this song is in the power chords that are played over the chorus that, when played with a band, in artist speak, sounds ‘big’. Go ahead and pick up your acoustic guitar and treat yourself to one of the sweetest intro melodies.

FAQs

Q. How can I quickly learn the Choo Lo guitar solo?

1. Break the solo into shorter sections and practice them individually until you master them, and then, once mastered, practice transitioning between the sections until the solo sounds as one.

Q. How to play suspended chords?

1. Playing suspended chords at first can be challenging, especially if you’re a beginner, but as instructed by the tutor in this lesson, you can play fewer notes of the chords to get the essential sound and eventually get to the full barre chords.

Muskurane Ki Wajah - Introduction

Welcome to the guitar lesson on one of the most famous romantic ballads from the previous decade, Muskurane by Arijit Singh.

The song received the Song of the Year Award at the Mirchi Music Awards and has amassed more than 60 million views on YouTube since its release in 2014.

Muskurane Ki Wajah translates to ‘reason for a smile’, which is a romantic expression towards a beloved. The plot of the film revolves around a couple who migrate to a Tier 1 city in search of a livelihood, but have to face deceit from the city. Through the song, the character is conveying to his beloved that “you are the reason for my smile, in the times when life is tough”.

Muskurane Ki Wajah Guitar Lesson

Muskurane guitar lesson is taught by our expert, J.J. , who explains all the different sections of the song in a section-by-section manner –from the intro that talks about the chords and different voicings of those chords, to the rhythms and solos of the song. The song is in Eb standard tuning and in the key of D major, which is a common tuning for the classic rock sound.        

To play the song in the original key and with standard chord shapes, a capo is needed on the 2nd fret. Advanced players can move to barred versions of the chords, should they not feel comfortable with the capo. The strumming of the song is unique in the sense that although the song can be played using the standard eight-note strumming, the strumming used here is that of the fifth-note pattern. This gives the song a breathing-like movement, where the empty three strums of a bar rest. 

The song features a unique cadence that goes from an E major to an A minor, which creates a beautiful tension and release in the song, and even more unique is the fact that on the chord that brings the tension, the song lyrics also talk about discomfort, both of which later resolves to a minor chord and a comfortable meaning.

The main chords you’ll use are G, Em, C, B7, and D, all common chords that sound smooth together and carry the romantic vibe of the song.

Mike shows you how to play these chords in a simple progression that fits the flow of the melody. The strumming pattern is gentle and steady, supporting the emotional tone without overpowering the vocals. One interesting chord here is B7, which adds a little extra colour and tension before resolving back to the main chords. Mike makes sure to explain how to shift between these chords without losing the rhythm.

Another important part of the lesson is the rhythm and timing. Mike breaks down the strumming pattern into easy sections so that even if you’re new to playing with a capo, you’ll feel confident.
