Best way to learn guitar is to learn by practice. Realizing this, we are skipping our theoretical lessons for this time and going to teach you how to play a song. The song played in this lesson is Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day. It has really simple chords and is easy to play for beginners.
The chord playing technique, strumming patterns and best practices discussed in this lesson will be useful for any song you’ll try. So grab your guitar and get ready to dive into the real action with Samyam in this video.
Tuning the strings of your guitar to the correct notes is very important. Not only for good sound, you should always practice on a well-tuned guitar so that your ears (read: brains) are always trained to hear the right sound.
In this video lesson, our guitarist Sabin shows you how to tune a guitar into the standard tuning in two ways:
1. using a tuner (absolute tuning)
2. without using a tuner (relative tuning)
Here is relative tuning chart for reference (click for larger image):
यो वनको गोरेटोमा पछ्यौरी कसको अल्झेछ,
नयाँ चोट लागेको होइन पुरानो घाऊ बल्झेछ
यो वनको गोरेटोमा पछ्यौरी कसको अल्झेछ,
नया चोट लागेको होइन पुरानो घाऊ बल्झेछ
बिहानीको शीतको थोपा पातले बोके जस्तो
मायालुको माया बोक्ने कुसुमे रुमाल
कुसुमे रुमाल, कुसुमे रुमाल
कुसुमे रुमाल, कुसुमे
उदित: मायाको बारीमा प्रीतिको फूल
दिपा: मायाको बारीमा पिरतिको फूल
उदित: (पिरति होइन, प्रीति,) प्रीतिको फूल
दिपा: मायाको बारीमा प्रीतिको फूल
उदित: (ह)
संगाली राखेको
उदित:
बैसालु मनले मेरो सपना सजाएछ
मुटु मेरो सानो, माया ठुलै पालेछ
दिपा:
बैसालु मनले मेरो सपना सजाएछ
मुटु मेरो सानो, माया ठुलै पालेछ
उदित र दिपा:
पहाडको आँसु बोकी खोला बगे जस्तो
मायालुको आँसु बोक्ने कुसुमे रुमाल
कुसुमे रुमाल, कुसुमे रुमाल
कुसुमे रुमाल, कुसुमे रुमाल
दिपा:
लाहुरे दाईले बिदा लिए, सानो रेलमा चढेर
कान्छी नानी रुन्छिन्, सम्झना कोसेली लिएर
लाहुरे दाईले बिदा लिए, सानो रेलमा चढेर
कान्छी नानी रुन्छिन्, सम्झना कोसेली लिएर
भाग्य भए भेटौंला टीकामा अर्को साल
नभए सम्झना कुसुमे रुमाल
कुसुमे रुमाल, कुसुमे रुमाल
कुसुमे रुमाल, कुसुमे रुमाल
Nepal has got a wonderful bunch of talents in music. We already have hundreds and thousands of songs, deep inside our hearts. But where we get behind is in their conservation. There are many songs that we like but don’t know the lyrics to sing. There are many songs we try to play on guitar, keyboard or any other musical instrument but we don’t know the chords. There are few chords-sites with some 200 songs. There are few song-books with some 30-40 songs. But they lack in quantity, quality and level of interaction. That is not enough.
Keeping this in mind, we have launched this website melosic.com.
Please help us by providing any chords, lyrics of Nepali songs you have. Let’s have discussions on them. Let’s conserve our songs old or new, classical or rock, modern or pop. Let’s do it, because we can!
