Bulleya

How to play Bulleya by Amit Mishra on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 5 you play Am, F, Dm, A#, E, A and more, the shapes the player above shows.

Bulleya is a strong song to learn if you want a dramatic, expressive feel with a steady pulse. In D minor, it sits in a moody space that sounds rewarding once you lock into the groove, and the advanced level makes it satisfying without feeling rushed at about 96 BPM.

You can lean on the open shapes Dm, A, D, G, C, F, and Am, but the harder barre shapes A#, Gm, D#, Bm, D#m, B, G#m, and Fm will demand clean fretting and quick hand shifts. The change to watch first is the opening move from Dm to A# and then to Gm, since that sequence sets the shape of the whole song.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly and making each chord ring clearly. Then practice the barre changes on their own, add the open shapes back in, and only increase speed when the switch from Dm to A# to Gm feels smooth and even.

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.
