Channa Mereya

How to play Channa Mereya by Arijit Singh on guitar

This song is a great one to learn if you want a calm, emotional play-along that sits at a moderate pace. It feels reflective and flowing, with enough movement to keep your fretting hand engaged without rushing you.

You can stay in open shapes the whole time, so the main challenge is clean chord changes rather than barre grip. The opening move from Am to F and back to Am is the change to watch closely, then make sure the shift to G lands smoothly without breaking the rhythm.

Start by looping Am - F - Am - G slowly until each change feels automatic. Then practice the same cycle with a steady pulse, and only speed up once the transitions sound even and relaxed.

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.
