Khat

How to play Khat by Navjot Ahuja on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 4 you play Am, C, G, F, E, Em and more, the shapes the player above shows.

Khat is a solid song to learn if you want a tight, driving feel at a moderate pace. At about 120 BPM, it sits in a comfortable groove that rewards clean changes and steady timing, so it feels energetic without being rushed.

You can lean on the open E and A shapes for the easier parts, while the barre shapes like C#m, B, G#, G#m, and F#m ask for more hand strength and accuracy. The main change to watch is the opening move from C#m to E, then into B and back to E, since that shift can expose any hesitation.

Start by looping C#m - E - B - E slowly until each change feels smooth. Then add the rest of the chart in small sections, keeping your strumming even and your fretting hand relaxed. Once the shapes land cleanly, bring the tempo up little by little until it feels natural.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
