Andhama Andhuma Tabs (Govinda Govinda)

Composer: Raj-Koti



One of the classics. Beautiful and catchy guitar blues. There aren't any noticeable guitar chords but the following seem appropriate to the tune.

I couldn't find correct tabs for this song anywhere so here it is.

Enjoy :)

Ye mantramo Chords (Andala Rakshasi)

Composer: Radhan

Another lovely song with simplest chords as possible. Radhan has done really good work.
Song is in the level of Beginners.

When you listen to the song, the guitars seem to stay hidden, but are really essential and their presence is notable.

The basic chord progression is [ Am, F, G, Am ]

The strumming patterns are also mentioned below.
Use one strumming pattern until next pattern is mentioned. Feel free to change to the strumming that you feel is the correct

|d| - indicates a down strum
|u| - indicates an up strum

|D| - indicates stressed/Enunciated down strum
|U| - indicates stressed/Enunciated up strum


Intro:
Strumming : |-d---D--u-u-d-u--D-|  
Better listen to the song for strumming pattern.

O Madhu tabs and chords (Julayi)

Composer: Devi sri prasad
(I am some what a fan of him so most of the songs here are composed by him.)


The song is catchy because of the "harmonium" section but the back-end is supported majorly by the guitar arpeggio.

The finger style continues all through out the song. But with a good strumming pattern it sounds much more better. The choice is yours to choose either the strumming or finger style.

I will be providing the finger style notes here, strumming pattern depends on your taste.

Intro -

Chords       Bm                     F#                
E-|---------2---2-----2--|------------------------|..
B-|-------3-------3------|---------2---2-----2----|..
G-|-----4-----------4----|-------3-------3-----3--|..
D-|---4------------------|-----4-----------4------|..
A-|----------------------|---4--------------------|..
E-|----------------------|------------------------|..

           Em                       Asus2

..|-----2----------2-----2--|-----2----------         ----------|
..|---2---------------------|---0------------         ----------|
..|-------------------------|----------------         ----------|




"Madhu" is just a cue to synchronise with the song speed.
Listen to the song for timings and tempo.
