How to play Ae Watan by Arijit Singh on guitar
These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play C, F, D, G, Gm, Em and more, the shapes the player above shows.
Ae Watan is a strong song to learn if you want a steady, emotional feel at a moderate pace. At about 72 BPM, you get time to shape each change and let the progression breathe, so it feels expressive rather than rushed.
You can lean on the open shapes D, G, E, A, and Am for much of the playing, but the harder F#m, B, and Bm shapes will ask for cleaner barre control. The change to watch most closely is moving between the open chords and those barre grips without breaking the flow.
Start by looping the opening D - G - D - G until the sound is smooth. Then add the rest of the chord moves in small sections, checking each barre shape on its own before linking them together. Once the changes feel reliable, play along with the full tempo and keep your focus on even timing.
Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
