Guitar Chords: Jo Bhi Main, Rockstar

So, how many of you loved the movie Rockstar? Loved it or not, you can’t really dislike the awesome music by A R Rahman! Amongst all the wonderful songs, the one that stands apart for me is Jo Bhi Main which essentially captures the crux of the whole movie very well.
The song revolves around one of the Jazz chords, Em7 – E minor 7th chord, although the song is by no means Jazzy :). (Is it just me or has A R Rahman recently used 7th chords in quite a few of his songs?) Another interesting chord is C6. Other than that it uses basic open chords like Gmaj and Dmaj. So beginners can easily play this song.
So how do you play this Em7 chord? Here is the chord representation:
Pretty simple. Hold the (very easy) Em chord with your 1st and 2nd finger. Now put your pinky (little finger) on the 2nd string, 3rd fret. Hit all the strings as the root note is open 6th string. Sounds nice? That’s Em7 chord.
C6 chord? Again very simple. Here’s the chord representation:
Hold the regular Cmaj chord and just lift your 3rd finger from the root note, 5th string to get the C6 chord.
Now that the chords are done, let’s talk about strumming pattern. The pattern that works for this song is this:
| 1&2& | 3&4& | 5&6& | 7&8& | | D--- | D--U | -U-U | D--- |
This strumming pattern works for the whole song. You can ornament the pattern by adding more strokes at the end to make it sound richer.
Here’s the complete song. As always, let me know any suggestions
(Em7)Ya ya ya .. o yeah yeah .. ya ya .. oo oo ..
[MUKHDA]
(Em7)Jo bhi main, (Em7)kehna chahoon
(Em7)Barbaad karein, (Em)alfaz mere, (Em)alfaz mere

(D) Tu bhi main bhi sabhi hai sheeshe
(C6) Khudhi ko hum sabhi main dekhein
(D) Nahin hoon main hoon main toh phir bhi
(G) Sahi galat,(D) tumhara main
(C6) Mujhe paana,(D) paana hai khud ko
(Em7)Jo bhi main, (Em7)kehna chahoon
(Em7)Barbaad karein, (Em)alfaz mere, (Em)alfaz mere

Hi Abhinav… π
Nice post…
Thanks for this C6, it really sounds wonderful…
I was playing Am in place of that.. was it right ??
And I am confused that G should also come in between the Mukhda part
like…
Jo bhi main.. kehna chaahoon…
(G)Barbaad karein … (Em)Alfaaz mere
Please suggest me..
Hi mate!
this come some 4 years later lol but I saw it and since no one replied I thought I will reply. I hope by now you are a stellar player of the guitar but this might help others
Am and C6 and very same as you may see C6 only adds the involvement of the pinki finger so they dont sound all that different but C6 is a better fit
and you are right, G maj at the Barbaad karein part is a better fit without question
Hi Ravi Rai Sharma,
Am can also be played in place of C6.
The Mukhda consists of only Em7 and Em chords.
Hey, m trying to provide just a Little accuracy to the chords in mukhda…it should be like this:-
(Em7)Jo bhi (Em)main, (Em7)kehna cha-(Em)hoon
(Asus4)Barbaad kar-(A)ein, (Dsus2)alfaz (Em)mere, (Dsus2)alfaz (Em)mere
Try playing that π
yeeee
Can u play ncc song also
I think in mukhda you can play the Asus2 and Dsus2 chord….
(Asus2)Barbaad kare, (Dsus2) Alfazz (Em) mere…..
can u play tum ho song in rockstar also
i also try and put in Am at some point of the song because it sounds so RIGHT
(G) Sahi galat,(D) tumhara main
(C6) Mujhe paana,(D) paana hai khud ko
instead of C6 try Am.

WRONG CHORDS……..CORRECT ARE-G,Bm,Em,D for chorus………..G,D,Dsus4,Am7,D,G,Bm,C,D,Dsus4
chords displayed by admin are exactly right.. Its all your wish to give feel and groove to song.. Em7, Em6, Em9 all are being used here.. bt its our wish either to use them or leave them cuz Em7 can do all that simply and equally.. So, chill guys.. Its music and mind it can never be perfect cuy perfect sound sucks.. π π
