50 Easy Bollywood songs to play on guitar

Here is a list of 50 easy Bollywood songs to play on guitar, complete with chords and strumming patterns. These songs are great for beginners and use simple open chords.

Introduction to Bollywood Music

When I first started learning guitar, I wasted a lot of time jumping between random songs. Some were too fast, some had difficult chord changes, and some just didn’t sound good on a beginner’s guitar. What actually helped me stay consistent was playing familiar Bollywood songs with simple chords.

Most Hindi songs are melody-driven and don’t require complex guitar techniques. If you choose the right songs, you can practice chord transitions, rhythm, and strumming without feeling overwhelmed. This list of 50 easy Bollywood songs is created specifically for beginners who want songs that are enjoyable and practical for learning.

You don’t need to play all 50. Pick a few, repeat them daily, and your fingers will slowly start cooperating.

How This Song List Was Created

This list is not random.

Each song was selected based on:

• Number of chords used
• Chord transition difficulty
• Tempo (slow to medium)
• Feedback from beginner guitar learners

If a song sounds good but frustrates beginners early on, it didn’t make the list.

Why Learn Bollywood Songs on Guitar?

Bollywood music is melodic, emotional, and surprisingly simple to play on acoustic guitar. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand your playlist, Bollywood songs often use just 3 or 4 basic chords, making them perfect for beginners.

This list includes romantic songs, sad songs, happy songs, and even classic melodies — all with easy chord structures and optional capo placements.

🥁 Strumming Advice (From Beginner Mistakes)

One common mistake beginners make is focusing too much on chords and ignoring rhythm.

Try this instead:

• First, mute the strings and practice the strumming pattern
• Then add chords slowly
• Keep your wrist loose, not stiff

If a song feels messy, it’s usually a strumming issue, not a chord issue.

🎯 Practice Tips That Actually Help

• Practice 15–20 minutes daily instead of long sessions
• Repeat the same song for a few days
• Don’t change songs too quickly
• Focus on timing, not speed

Progress on guitar feels slow at first, but suddenly one day things just click.

🚫 Common Beginner Mistakes

• Trying to play too many songs at once
• Ignoring chord clarity
• Playing faster than the song’s tempo
• Getting discouraged too early

Everyone goes through this phase. It’s normal.
