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’.

• Gul stands out because of its relatable lyrics and minimalistic acoustic arrangement. Unlike mainstream pop tracks, it relies on Anuv Jain’s voice and gentle guitar melodies.

Welcome to the guitar lesson on Samjhawan, a heartfelt romantic ballad from the 2014 Bollywood film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania. The film stars Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, and this song quickly became one of its most memorable tracks. Samjhawan is actually a reimagined version of Main Tenu Samjhawan Ki, a soulful Punjabi song originally composed by Jawad Ahmad and sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in 2010. The Bollywood version was recreated by Sharib–Toshi, with lyrics by Ahmad Anees and Kumaar, and sung by two of India’s finest voices, Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal.

Samjhawan Guitar Lesson

In this lesson, instructor J J Patishall guides you through the chords and rhythm of Samjhawan in a way that’s easy to follow, even if you’re not a seasoned player. The song is played mostly using open chords like Asus2, Dsus2, F#m, Bm, and E, which gives it that smooth and mellow sound. These suspended chords, especially the Asus2 and Dsus2, add a gentle tension that feels emotional but not complicated. J J explains how to finger these chords carefully to keep the song’s soft vibe intact.

One of the key points J J focuses on is how to move between these chords smoothly. He breaks down the transitions slowly so you don’t get stuck on tricky shapes like F#m, which can feel tough at first because it’s usually a barre chord. But with his tips, you’ll find a comfortable way to play it without straining your hand. The lesson includes how to hold Asus2 and Dsus2 so that the ringing open strings create a warm, full sound that fills the space nicely.

The strumming pattern is simple yet expressive, with a mix of down and up strokes that flow naturally with the song’s rhythm. J J also shows a subtle picking pattern for those who want to bring out the melody within the chords more clearly. This fingerpicking option works well if you want to capture the intimate feeling of the unplugged version. Throughout the lesson, J J highlights how small changes in timing and emphasis can really shape the mood, helping you play Samjhawan with the same tenderness that makes the original so special.

Darkhaast is a romantic ballad from the 2016 Bollywood film Shivaay, starring Ajay Devgn. The song features the voices of Arijit Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan, with music composed by Mithoon. The lyrics, written by Sayeed Quadri, express deep longing and emotional pain. The track became popular for its soulful melody and heartfelt vocals, resonating with listeners who appreciate slow, emotional songs.

The music video shows Ajay Devgn and Erika Kaar in beautiful locations, adding to the song’s romantic feel. The composition includes soft guitar strums with orchestral elements, creating a melancholic atmosphere. The song’s slow tempo and expressive singing make it a favourite for those who enjoy emotional Bollywood tracks.

Darkhaast Guitar Lesson

Taught by Mike Walker, this lesson covers how to play Darkhaast on guitar. The song is in the key of G major, which gives it a warm and open sound. The chords follow a simple but emotional progression: G - Em - C - D. These chords repeat throughout the song, creating a gentle flow that matches the vocals. The strumming pattern is slow and relaxed, using downstrokes with occasional upstrokes to keep the rhythm natural.

The intro and verses use arpeggios, where you pluck the strings one by one instead of strumming. This technique makes the guitar sound soft and delicate, perfect for the song’s mood. The chorus switches to fuller strums, adding energy while keeping the emotional tone. The key is to play smoothly, letting each note ring clearly without rushing.

For the improvisation section, the song uses the G major scale (G-A-B-C-D-E-F#) in open position. This means you can play the scale without moving too far up the fretboard. The pedal technique is used here, which means you keep one note ringing (usually the open G string) while playing other notes over it. This creates a droning effect that adds depth to the melody.

Beginners should start by learning the basic chords and strumming slowly. The chord changes are not difficult, but playing them smoothly takes practice. Intermediate players can work on the arpeggiated sections, making sure each note is clean and even. Advanced players can focus on improvisation, experimenting with the G major scale and adding subtle bends or slides for expression.

FAQs

Q. What tuning is used for this song?

Standard tuning (EADGBE). No alternate tuning or capo is needed.

Q. How do I play the arpeggios smoothly?

Pluck each string gently in order and let the notes ring together.

Q. What is the pedal technique?

It means keeping one note (like the open G string) constantly ringing while playing other notes over it.
