💡 Tips for Playing Sandese Aate Hai on Guitar
- The song is long, so try to learn it in sections (intro + chorus, then verses).
- Using a capo on the 2nd fret makes the open chords more melodious and easy to play.
- Focus on the rhythm of the strumming. D D UUD U fits the emotion but simplify if needed.
- Practice transitioning between chords like (Em) to (Am), and (D) to (G), which occur frequently.
- Add dynamics by softening during verses and building up intensity in the chorus.
