Nain Matakka

How to play Nain Matakka by Dhee, Diljit Dosanjh, Thaman S, Irshad Kamil on guitar

This song is a fun one to learn because it sits in a steady groove and gives you a strong, catchy progression to lock into. At about 120 BPM, it feels lively without being rushed, so you can focus on staying relaxed and keeping the changes clean.

You will use a mix of open shapes and the harder barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving from the easier chords into C#m and B without breaking the rhythm. The opening run E - A - C#m - B is the change to watch most closely, since it asks you to switch from open chords to barre chords smoothly.

Start by practicing each chord change slowly, especially E to A and then A to C#m. Once that feels solid, loop the full opening progression with a simple steady strum, then raise the tempo little by little until it matches the track.

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.
