How to play Galliyan by Ankit Tiwari on guitar
Galliyan is a great song to learn because it has a memorable, flowing feel and moves at a calm pace. You can focus on clean changes and let the progression carry the emotion. At about 87 BPM, it should feel relaxed once you settle into the rhythm.
You can lean on a mix of open shapes and harder barre shapes, so the main challenge is keeping your fretting hand relaxed. The open chords are easier to grab, while F# may take more focus. Watch the shift in the opening progression, Em - F# - D - G, because that is where the hand movement can feel least natural at first.
Start by looping Em - F# - D - G slowly until each change feels smooth. Then practice the song in short sections, keeping the rhythm steady before you try full speed. Once the shapes feel automatic, play along with the track and let the changes guide your 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.
