About This Song
Kabhi Jo Baadal Barse by Arijit Singh from the 2013 film Jackpot is one of the most popular Bollywood monsoon songs to learn on guitar. With Capo on the 3rd fret, the shapes sit comfortably in A Minor while sounding in C Minor as recorded. The intro and verse use an Am/F/G/Em loop — a beautifully flowing progression that captures the rainy, melancholic mood. The Dm/G/F interlude adds an extra layer of emotion. Focus on making smooth, unhurried chord changes — this song breathes slowly. The original recording is at around 76 BPM. A monsoon-season staple at JBX Music jam sessions in Mumbai.
