What's Your Raashee?

Jao Naa is a good song for beginners to learn and practice barre chords. I am not at all in awe of this song. I don’t like it much but since it is based on acoustic guitar completely, I thought to post it here.

The song uses barre chords and is in the key of Gm. If you know barre chords, this song it would be very easy to play. If you don’t know barre chords, you will have to use a capo on the 3rd fret to turn the chords into simple basic open chords.

The strumming pattern of this song is not at all difficult. Here it is: | D- D- | UUUD |
When the song catches speed the strumming pattern doesn’t change, just the tempo increases.
