Guitar Chords/Tabs: Aadat, Jal [ACCURATE]
Note: This post was originally published on June 28, 2008 but I have re-posted it with accurate set of chords and tabs. Enjoy!
The song Aadat, by the band group Jal, is one which will give you supreme satisfaction if you are an acoustic guitar player. In the scale of C# minor, there are lots of subtle variations that makes this song a wonderful learning experience for guitarists. Apart from interesting chords and its arpeggios, it also has a unique muted strumming pattern. All of this together makes it a beautiful melody perfect for acoustic playing.
There are 3 important chords in the key of C# minor that you need to know:
The last chord (C#sus2) is only played in the INTRO part. It’s just the regular C#m barre chord with the middle finger lifted off the 2nd string, 5th fret. Rest of the song only uses C#m, A and B chords. In the Antras, the chord pattern C#m, B, A, B keeps repeating.
The strumming pattern is simple but to sound like original you should mute the sound with the left hand. Just loosen the grip after every stroke.
|1&2&|3&4&|5&6&|7&8&| |D-DU|--D-|DU--|D---|
(INTRO)
Play INTRO continuously for the following stanza (ignore the chords):

The chords are originally C#sus2 and Amaj for the arpeggio (both Barre), but i see that its much simpler to play it in the key of Dmin (as compared to C#min) by shifting it up a semi tone.Good one there being creative. Although according to your arpeggio the first chord is Dsus2 not Asus as you have mentioned. Your doin a great job though! very impressive.
Cheers.
