Enna Sona

How to play Enna Sona by Arijit Singh on guitar

Enna Sona is a great beginner song because it has a smooth, romantic feel and a steady pace that lets you focus on clean changes. At about 96 BPM, you can keep it relaxed and still make it sound musical. The opening progression gives you a nice loop to settle into, and the song feels rewarding once the shapes start to connect naturally.

You will use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving between the easier grips and the harder ones without breaking the flow. The open shapes like Dm, F, G, C, and A should feel comfortable, while D#, Gm, A#, G#, Fm, and Cm will ask for more hand strength and accuracy. Watch especially for the jump from Dm to D# and back again, since that change sets the tone early.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, one change at a time, until your fingers land cleanly. Then loop the open shapes on their own, and next add the barre shapes in pairs so your hand gets used to the pressure. Once the switches feel steady, bring the whole progression up to tempo and aim for smooth, even transitions rather than speed first.

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.
