Kabhi Kabhi Aditi

How to play Kabhi Kabhi Aditi by Rashid Ali on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 4 you play Am, Em, C, D, A, G and more, the shapes the player above shows.

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi is a great song to learn if you want a bright, catchy play-along with a steady pop feel. At about 123 BPM, it sits in a comfortable groove that feels upbeat without being rushed, so you can focus on clean changes and a relaxed pulse.

You will use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, with E and A staying friendly while C#m, G#m, F#, C#, B, G#, and D#m ask for more left-hand control. The main thing to watch is the opening move between C#m and G#m, since that change repeats right away and sets the shape of the whole chart.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the switch feels automatic, then add the rest of the chord cycle in short sections. Once the changes are smooth, bring the tempo up in small steps and keep your strumming even so the song keeps its light, flowing energy.

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.
