How to play Ilahi by Mohit Chauhan on guitar
These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play C, G, Am, Em, D, D# and more, the shapes the player above shows.
Ilahi is a great song to learn because it has a bright, uplifting feel and a steady drive that makes it fun to keep moving through the changes. At about 124 BPM, it feels lively without being rushed, so you can focus on clean transitions and a relaxed groove.
Most of the chart uses friendly open shapes: D, A, and E, with F and G also shown as open shapes here. The harder part is the barre work on Bm and F#m, so watch for those switches if they appear in the middle of a repeating pattern. The opening D - A - D - A is a good place to lock in your timing.
Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the changes feel automatic. Then add the barre shapes one at a time, making sure your fretting hand stays relaxed. Once the chords are smooth, bring it up to tempo and aim for even, confident changes 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.
