Raataan Lambiyan

How to play Raataan Lambiyan by Jubin Nautiyal on guitar

Raataan Lambiyan is a great song to learn if you want a smooth, emotional ballad with a steady pulse. At about 82 BPM, it feels relaxed but still needs control, so you can focus on clean changes and a warm, flowing sound.

You only get one open shape here, F, while the rest are barre shapes, so the main challenge is keeping your fretting hand relaxed. The opening move, D# - A# - F - D#, is the change to watch closely, because it sets the feel and can expose any hesitation between shapes.

Start by looping just D# - A# - F - D# slowly until the switches feel even. Then add the remaining chords one at a time, keeping your strumming simple and steady. Once the shapes are comfortable, bring the tempo up gradually until you can play through the full song without rushing.

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.
