How to play Galliyan by Ankit Tiwari on guitar
These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play Am, F, Em, C, A, E and more, the shapes the player above shows.
Galliyan is a great song to learn if you want a moody, flowing progression that feels emotional without being too busy. At about 87 BPM, you can let the chords ring and focus on smooth transitions, which gives the song its calm, reflective feel.
You will move between open shapes like G, D, A, and Em and the harder barre shapes Bm, F#m, B, and F#. The main thing to watch is the opening Bm - G - F#m - D progression, since the jump into the barre shapes can slow you down if your hand is not set early.
Start by practicing the opening progression slowly and cleanly, then loop the open shapes and barre shapes separately until each change feels automatic. After that, put the full sequence together at a steady tempo, and only speed up when every chord rings clearly.
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.
