Jeena Jeena - Bollywood

By The Guitarist - Rich Hawthorne - June 24, 2016

Here are a couple of videos demonstarting various parts to the popular Bollywood song Jeena Jeena. First up, the intro. My strumming pattern goes down - up - hit - down - hit. The hits are down strums on beats two and four. Notice the chord change after the first hit. I liked the flute solo so much that I thought I would arrange it for the guitar. I hope I'm playing it slow enough for everyone to follow along. Finally, the guitar solo. Short and sweet!
