Easy Chord Progression
If you're a beginner, start with these three chords:
A → Bm → D
The most important progression is:
A → Bm → A
Once you are comfortable with those changes, add E for the verse sections.
If Bm is difficult, practice the chord separately before attempting the full song.
Guitar Tip
Sakhiyaan works particularly well with a bright, rhythmic acoustic-guitar sound.
Try this arrangement:
Intro: Light downstrokes
Mukhda: DUUD UUD
Verses: Light D-DU pattern
Chorus: Full strumming
Ending: Gradually slow down
Keep the rhythm consistent. The song has a fairly quick pulse, so clean chord changes are more important than complicated guitar techniques.
Difficulty
Beginner / Intermediate
The basic chords are easy to learn, although Bm may take some practice if you're new to barre chords.
