Two months back, IISc Gymkhana restarted their guitar classes with a new tutor, Sanjay Kumar. I joined the same to get back into the flow of playing guitar regularly with fellow guitarists, and learn new techniques. Although the classes are held once a week, its quite good and helped me pick up the chord progession comfortably.

Upgrading Guitar and some more references
The gb&a acoustic guitar I had was around 3 years old, it was not sounding good, so I thought of upgrading it. I wondered about the reasons why the guitar was not sounding good, I thought of buying a new guitar but one friend of mine suggested to replace strings with new ones. I replaced my guitar strings and now the guitar is sounding quite good. I am also taking online course on Coursera which includes a series a video lectures and quizzes.

Guitar revisit

Parts of a acoustic guitar |
I have taken guitar classes for 6 months, which was good for starters. Thereafter, I was practicing on my own after getting the basics of playing guitar, taking help from internet and downloading guitar notes for songs. Guitar needs a lot of practice. The fingers hurt in the
beginning, especially when you hold multiple string on the different
frets, but after sometime it is normal. Even regular practice daily for 15 minutes is very helpful. Guitar notes for a song can of two types :

Tu hi ye mujh ko bataa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa
Apne tu dil ka pataa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa
You only tell me,
should I love or not,
Tell me about your heart,
Should I love or not..
Itna bata doon tujh ko
Chaahat pe apni mujh ko
Yoon to nahi ikhtiyaar
Phir bhi yeh sochaa dil ne
Ab jo lagaa hoon milne
Poochhoon tujhe ek baar
I'll tell you so much,
On my love,
I don't have so much control,
Still the heart thought once,
Now that I've begun to meet,
I should ask you once..
Tu hi ye mujh ko bataa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa
Apne tu dil ka pataa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa
Aisee kabhee pehle hui naa thi khwaahishein
O.. kisee se bhi milne ki
Naa ki thi koshishein
Uljhan meri suljhaa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa
Aankhon aankhon mein jataa dey
Chaahoon main yaa naa
There were never such wishes before,
Never had I tried to meet
someone like that..
Disentangle my problems,
Should I love or not..
say to me within eyes,
Should I love or not..
Mere chhote chhote khwaab hain
Khwaabon mein geet hain
Geeton mein zindagi hai
Chaahat hai, preet hai
Abhi main na dekhoon khwaab wo
Jin mein na tu mile
Le kholey honth maine
Ab tak the jo sile
I have some small dreams,
In those dreams there are songs,
In songs, there is life,
love, and longing..
Now I don't dream those dreams,
in which you aren't there..
See, I open these lips (to agree)
that I had kept closed till now..
Mujh ko na jitna mujh pe
Utna is dil ko tujh pe
Hone laga aetbaar
Tanhaa lamhon mein apne
Bunti hoon tere sapne
Tujh se hua mujh ko pyaar..
My heart believes you so much
as I don't believe even myself..
In my lone moments,
I dream about you,
I have fallen in love with you..
Poochungi tujh ko kabhi naa
Chaahoon main yaa naa..
Tere khwaabon mein ab jeena
Chaahoon main kyun naa..
I'll never ask you
Should I love or not..
Now I have to live in your dreams
Should I love or not..
