One more song from Barfi, this one's 'Main Kya Karoon' sung by Nikhil Paul George, we spoke about him in detail in the last post. Alright so, this song recalls the fervour of young romance and the tune is very new age with a very soft feel. However, you totally gotta give it to the singer Nikhil Paul George because it's his vocals that steals the show and will instantly make you fall in love with the song. The variations and the feel brought by him to the song is one of the best that you would have heard in recent times. The lyrics of this song are written by Ashish Pandit.
Again, the song has chord progressions which a beginner might find difficult to switch between, I mean I used to find it difficult when I was a beginner. The song is on a E scale and has chords shifts like C#m, back to E, Am, B and it goes on. So, the choice is yours either you play it on normal open E scale, or use a CAPO to make life a little easy, You can Place the CAPO on the 2nd fret and can replace the chords as mentioned below.
