Dil Diyan Gallan

How to play Dil Diyan Gallan by Atif Aslam on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play F, Am, G, C, Dm, E and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a great one to learn if you want a smooth, romantic feel with a steady mid-tempo pulse. It sits nicely in your hands and rewards clean, even changes, so it feels calm rather than rushed.

You can lean on the open shapes G, A, D, and Em, but the harder spots are Bm, F#, and F#m, so the chart asks for a few barre shapes. The change to watch most closely is the opening move from G to Bm to A to Bm, since that back-and-forth can expose any hesitation.

Start by looping just the opening progression slowly until the shape changes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the song in small sections, keeping your strums even and your fretting hand relaxed. Once the shifts are smooth, bring it up to tempo and focus on staying consistent from start to finish.

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.
