Teaching Notes (PRO Tips)
- Focus on clean transitions between Em7, Am7, and B7, as these chords drive most of the song.

- Let the Em7 ring out fully to capture the song's dreamy atmosphere.
- During the "Ma-ma-mashooqa" section, increase your strumming intensity slightly to match the lift in energy.
- Try playing along with the original recording to lock in the song's groove and phrasing.
