Bulla Ki Jana Main Kaun (Rabbi Shergill) Guitar Chords and Straming Patten

Post Time: 7:59 AM

Strum Pattern:
Time Signature: 4/4

Option 1: Fast strumming - these two alternating bars : |D(DU)D_|U'(UU)D_|
(Explanation - 4 beats per meter; the stroke that is marked with a (') is played and muted (D' here); the beats in brackets are divided into subunits of equal duration as noted).

In general the strum w.r.t the chord meters for the chorus go like this -

|E-B-|A-A-| = D(DU)D_|U'(UU)D_|; i.e.

|E       B       |A       A       |
|D(DU)D_|U'(UU)D_|D(DU)D_|U'(UU)D_|

Thus, between (middle of) the meter chord changes occur everywhere and give this song its distinctive flavour.

Option 2: The pattern followed throughout the song is |D_(DU)|(DDD)(DU)|

Option 3: For a softer version, just strike the chords at one go, or as a fast broken strum.
