Phir Le Aaya Dil

How to play Phir Le Aaya Dil by Arijit Singh on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play D, C, G, Em, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a great beginner pick because it stays calm, emotional, and very steady at about 70 BPM. You get to focus on clean changes and smooth timing instead of speed, so it feels expressive right away. The repeating loop also makes it easy to settle into the mood and hear the progression clearly.

All of the shapes here are barre chords, so the main challenge is keeping your fretting hand relaxed while still pressing firmly. Since the song keeps cycling the same few chords, the change to watch most closely is the move between D# and C# in the opening pattern. If that swap feels solid, the rest will follow more easily.

Start by looping D# - C# slowly until the change feels automatic. Then add the full opening progression, D# - C# - D# - C#, and repeat it until your hand stays relaxed. Once that is comfortable, play through the rest of the chord cycle at a slow, even pace, then gradually bring it up to tempo.

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.
