Sooraj Dooba Hai

How to play Sooraj Dooba Hai by Arijit Singh on guitar

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

This song is a fun one to learn because it has a bright, driving feel and a strong pop groove at about 128 BPM. You get a catchy progression that moves quickly, so it feels energetic and satisfying once the changes start to lock in.

You only get one open shape here, F, while the rest are barre shapes, so the left hand has to stay disciplined. The main change to watch is the opening move from D# to F to Cm to G#, since that shift can feel fast until your fingers learn the spacing.

Start by looping the opening progression very slowly and making each chord clean before you worry about speed. Then practice the barre shapes in pairs, especially the jumps into and out of F, and finally bring the full sequence up to tempo in short bursts.

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.
