Muskurane

How to play Muskurane by Arijit Singh on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play Am, G, E, F, C, B and more, the shapes the player above shows.

Muskurane is a great song to learn if you want a calm, expressive feel with a steady groove. At about 68 BPM, it gives you time to settle into the changes and focus on smooth transitions. You can make it sound warm and musical without pushing the tempo, which is why it works well as an intermediate play-along.

The chart mixes open shapes and barre shapes, so it asks for both comfort and control. A, G, and D should feel lighter under your fingers, while Bm, F#, C#, and F#m need more pressure and clean muting. Watch the opening move from Bm to A to F# to G, since that is where the shape changes can slow you down.

Start by looping just Bm - A - F# - G until your fingers move without hesitation. Then add the other chord changes one at a time and keep the rhythm even. Once the shapes feel secure, play along at full tempo and aim for relaxed changes instead of speed.

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.
