Strumming Pattern Explained

This song sounds best with a soft fingerpicking pattern rather than heavy strumming.

A simple beginner-friendly picking approach:

Thumb plays the bass note (6th, 5th or 4th string depending on chord).

Then use Index – Middle – Ring on the top three strings (G, B, high E).

Pattern example (for Fmaj7):

Thumb – G – B – E – B – G

Keep the picking slow, even, and expressive.

Let the notes ring — don’t rush the transitions.

Teaching Notes (PRO Tips)

The key color chord here is Fmaj7 (xx3210). Make sure the high E string rings clearly.

Keep your left-hand pressure light but accurate — avoid muting open strings.

Focus on dynamics — this is a very emotional, soft song.

In the “Oh sajni re” section, allow slight pauses between phrases.

Avoid aggressive strumming — the song loses its feel if played too hard.

Practice chord transitions slowly between Fmaj7 - G - Am - C.
