Introduction

Sau Aasmaan is a bright, romantic song from the 2016 Bollywood film Baar Baar Dekho, featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif. Composed by Amaal Mallik with lyrics by Kumaar, the track captures the excitement of new love through its upbeat melody and joyful lyrics. Armaan Malik and Neeti Mohan's vocals blend perfectly, giving the song a fresh, youthful energy that matches the film's themes of romance and destiny.

The music video shows the lead actors in beautiful international locations, adding to the song's dreamy feel. The composition mixes contemporary pop elements with light electronic beats, creating a sound that's both modern and timeless.

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.

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.

Q. How do I play the arpeggios smoothly?
