O Mere Dil Ke Chain

How to play O Mere Dil Ke Chain by Kishore Kumar on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play G, Am, E, A, G#m, G# and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is worth learning because it has a smooth, classic feel and a calm, flowing groove that rewards clean changes. At about 82 BPM, you can let each chord ring and focus on making the melody feel relaxed and expressive.

You will need to handle both open shapes and barre shapes, so the left hand has to stay efficient. The opening move G# - A#m - F - A#m is the main change to watch, since it asks you to switch between harder shapes and a more familiar open position without losing the pulse.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the shifts feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chart in small sections, keeping your strumming even and your chord changes relaxed. When that feels solid, bring it up to tempo a little at a time and aim for clean, steady transitions.

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.
