Welcome to the guitar lesson on a song that feels like a soft breeze under moonlight — En Iniya Pon Nilave, sung by the iconic K. J. Yesudas for the 1980 Tamil film Moodu Pani. This track was composed by Ilaiyaraaja for his 100th film score. The song is set to lyrics written by Gangai Amaran, who shows imagery of longing and quiet love. The film itself, directed by Balu Mahendra, is a psychological thriller, but this song brings in a moment of softness.

Ilaiyaraaja composed the melody in the raga Natabhairavi, which naturally has a melancholic mood. What makes this track stand out is its long guitar prelude and interlude, some of the lengthiest ever used in Tamil cinema. Over the years, this song has gained cult status, finding new life in covers and tributes. One such moment came in the 2008 film Vaaranam Aayiram, where Suriya’s character strums this tune, nodding to its lasting charm.

En Iniya Pon Nilave – Guitar Lesson

This version of En Iniya Pon Nilave is taught by our instructor J. J. Patishall, and it’s a soft acoustic cover designed for those who enjoy expressive playing. Although the original track is in C minor, the lesson uses a capo on the third fret, which brings the tonal centre down to A minor — a more accessible shape for guitarists. This lets you play all the rich and expressive chords while keeping finger positions manageable. The chords you’ll come across include Am, C, G, F, Dm, E, Fm, Am7, Aaug, and Am6, and each one adds a layer of emotion that mirrors the soul of the song.

One of the standout sounds in this track is the Fm chord, which usually doesn’t show up naturally in A minor but is used here for its emotional contrast. Steve explains how this shift works: you’re borrowing from a parallel scale. There are also extended chords like Am7 and Am6, which soften the sound and give it a jazz feel. Another special chord is Aaug, which adds a kind of unresolved tension, giving the song its dreamy, floating quality.

The rhythm in this lesson is not rushed. It’s based more on feel than a strict strumming pattern. J. J. encourages players to listen closely to the original and match the phrasing. He demonstrates the intro and interlude melodies clearly, making it easy for you to follow along, even if you’re not an advanced guitarist.

July Matham - Introduction

July Matham is a beloved Tamil song from the 1993 film Pudhiya Mugam, composed by A.R. Rahman in his early career. The song features the legendary voices of S.P. Balasubrahmanyam and Annupamaa, with lyrics by Vairamuthu. It is set in Pilu raga, which gives it a sweet yet melancholic feel. The film tells the story of an assassin who transforms into a hero, and this song plays during a key emotional moment.

The melody flows gently, with soft orchestration and expressive vocals. Rahman’s use of harmonies and subtle rhythm changes makes the song stand out. Even today, it remains a favorite among fans of 90s Tamil music because of its simple yet deep emotional appeal. The way the vocals glide through the notes makes it perfect for guitar adaptation.

July Matham Guitar Lesson

Taught by Mike Walker, this lesson covers the song’s structure in D minor, shifting to D major in some sections. The harmonic minor scale (D-E-F-G-A-Bb-C#) is used for the sorrowful parts, while the major scale brightens the mood. The chords follow a cycle of Dm - Bb - F - C, with occasional passing chords like Gm and A7 for tension.

The strumming pattern is relaxed, matching the 6/8 rhythm. Use downstrokes on beats 1 and 4, with light upstrokes in between. The pre-chorus has arpeggiated chords, where you pluck individual notes instead of strumming. The chorus returns to fuller strums, emphasizing the emotional highs.

For the melody, focus on the D minor pentatonic scale (D-F-G-A-C). The vocal line moves smoothly, often sliding between notes. On guitar, try bending into some notes for expression, like bending the F (1st fret, high E string) slightly upwards. The bridge shifts to D major, changing the mood completely before returning to the minor key.

Beginners should practice the chord transitions first, especially Dm to Bb. Intermediate players can work on the arpeggiated sections, ensuring each note rings clearly. Advanced players can experiment with subtle vibrato and slides to mimic the vocal phrasing.

FAQs

Q. How to play the arpeggios smoothly?

Pluck the strings one by one in order and keep your fingers close to the frets. Avoid moving your arm and try maintaining a rhythm with moving only your wrists.

Q. Why does the song switch between minor and major?

The minor scale brings sadness, while the major parts add hope, matching the song’s emotional journey.

Q. Can I use a pick for this song?

Yes, you can use a pick for the picking patterns but the songs’ authentic feel comes only when fingerpicking is involved.

Q. What effects should I use?

A little reverb and delay help recreate the original’s dreamy sound.

Fish Rock – Guitar Lesson

Mike Walker’s lesson on Fish Rock dives into how to nail the song’s heavy, gritty sound using drop D tuning, where the lowest string is tuned down a whole step from E to D. This tuning gives the guitar a deeper, punchier tone that’s perfect for the chunky riffs and aggressive rhythm playing the song demands. Mike takes you through the main riff, focusing on the powerful use of open strings and palm muting to create that tight, percussive feel common in metal.

The soloing section in Fish Rock is built around the minor pentatonic scale, which is a go-to scale for rock and metal soloing. Mike breaks down the solo ideas simply by showing how the minor pentatonic scale works—basically a five-note scale that sounds dark and bluesy. He explains how to use bends, slides, and hammer-ons to add expression without overcomplicating the solo, making it approachable for players looking to get into metal lead playing.

Throughout the lesson, Mike emphasizes keeping the rhythm tight and clean, which is key in heavy music to avoid a muddy sound. He also talks about dynamics—how to build tension by mixing softer muted riffs with bursts of aggressive picking. For players wanting to get the full feel of Fish Rock, Mike’s guidance on using the drop D tuning effectively, combined with minor pentatonic lead ideas, helps capture the song’s raw energy while making it accessible for learners.

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.

Directed by Prabhu Deva, the movie stars Jayam Ravi and Hansika Motwani, and this track became one of its emotional high points. Composed by Harris Jayaraj and sung by Karthik, the song is soaked in longing and tender expression.

Still, the Tamil version managed to claim its own space with a different emotional tone and arrangement.

Dhimu Dhimu Guitar Lesson

In this lesson, instructor J J Patishall takes you through Dhimu Dhimu in a way that’s both thoughtful and easy to follow. The song is played in standard 4/4 time at around 120 BPM, which makes it a comfortable speed for both beginner and intermediate players. The chords are rooted in C major and include C, Fmaj7, G, and even a slightly unexpected Bb chord. J J explains how these chords work together to create that dreamy atmosphere the song is known for. For example, the Fmaj7 adds a floating quality—it's basically an F major chord, but with an open E string, giving it a more emotional sound.

J J also talks about how to play the song with smooth transitions between chords. He focuses a lot on how to hold each chord shape lightly and clearly, so the ringing notes don't get muddy. The Bb chord might feel like a challenge for some, since it's usually a barre chord, but J J breaks down a simplified version so even newer players can try it without stress.

The strumming pattern is kept subtle and steady—mostly downstrokes with light upstrokes filling the gaps. It reflects the slow-burning feel of the track. J J also offers an optional picking style for those who want to add more texture to their playing. He demonstrates how to pluck the individual strings of each chord in rhythm with the melody, which matches the orchestral style of the original arrangement.

Lastly, there's a small section where the harmony shifts in a surprising way, using the Bb to break the usual major pattern. J J points this out and explains how little moments like this can really pull at your emotions, even if you’re not actively aware of it while listening. It’s this kind of insight that makes the lesson a blend of both learning and feeling the music.

Q. Is the Bb chord necessary to play Dhimu Dhimu?

Yes, but if you're a beginner, J J shows an easier version of it that works just fine for the song’s feel.
