Chundari Penne Guitar Lesson

Taught by Mike Dugan, this lesson covers the song’s soothing guitar work. The track is in G major and uses a relaxed strumming pattern that matches its easygoing vibe. The main progression moves between G, Em, C, and D, creating a circular, flowing feel. The chords are basic but played with a light touch to keep the mood airy.

The strumming pattern follows a down-down-up-up-down-up rhythm. This gives the song its signature sway. The tempo is slow, so focus on keeping the strokes even and relaxed. The verses have a softer dynamic, while the chorus opens up slightly with fuller strums. Palm muting is used sparingly, just to add subtle texture in certain spots.

For the lead parts, the melody follows the vocal line closely. The fills between verses use simple hammer-ons and pull-offs on the higher strings. The solo section is minimal, sticking to the G major scale with a few tasteful bends. The tone should be clean and warm, with just a hint of reverb to match the original recording.

Beginners can start by mastering the chord changes at a slow pace. The song’s slow tempo makes it forgiving for practice. Intermediate players should work on matching the delicate dynamics between sections. The key is to keep the playing light and expressive, not forceful.

Dil Kya Mehfil Hai is a timeless romantic song from the 1977 Bollywood film Hum Kisise Kum Naheen, starring Rishi Kapoor and Kaajal Kiran. Sung by the legendary Kishore Kumar, with music composed by R.D. Burman and lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri, the song beautifully captures the emotions of love and longing. The melody blends Indian classical influences with Western orchestration, creating a rich, nostalgic sound that remains beloved decades later.

The song’s poetic lyrics compare the heart to a gathering (mehfil) of emotions, where love is both a celebration and a sorrow. Kishore Kumar’s expressive vocals, combined with Burman’s intricate arrangements featuring strings, piano, and light percussion, give the track its dreamy, melancholic charm. Even today, "Dil Kya Mehfil Hai" is remembered as one of Kishore Kumar’s finest performances and a highlight of R.D. Burman’s illustrious career.

Dil Kya Mehfil Hai Guitar Lesson

Taught by Mike Walker, this lesson breaks down how to play "Dil Kya Mehfil Hai" on guitar. The song is set at 120 BPM and uses a series of rich chords: G#, F#, C#, B, and D#. These chords create a lush, emotional progression that drives the song’s nostalgic feel. The strumming pattern is smooth and flowing, matching the song’s romantic mood.

The verse follows a G# - F# - C# - B pattern, with each chord held for two beats. The chorus introduces D# for a brighter resolution. The key is to let the chords ring out, using gentle downstrokes with occasional upstrokes to keep the rhythm natural. The song’s bridge adds variation with a C# - B - G# - F# sequence, creating tension before returning to the main progression.

For the melody, the song primarily uses the G# major scale (G#-A#-C-C#-D#-F-G), with occasional slides and light vibrato to mimic Kishore Kumar’s vocal phrasing. The lead guitar parts should focus on smooth, sustained notes, emphasizing the emotional highs and lows of the tune.

Beginners should start by mastering the chord shapes, especially the G# and D# barre chords, which may be challenging at first. Intermediate players can work on the strumming dynamics, playing softly in verses and with more intensity in the chorus. Advanced players can explore fingerstyle arpeggios to replicate the song’s orchestral texture.

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 is from the movie ‘Citylights’, which is highly acclaimed for showing the cruelty of a modern city commonly referred to as the city of dreams. 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.

Muskurane lyrics, along with the tabs, are also available beside the video lesson that you can refer to while learning the song. 

FAQs

Q. Do I need a capo for this song?

Yes, we recommend using a capo on the 2nd fret to match the original pitch and make chord shapes easier to play.
