Updated to version 3 on Friday 4th September, additional kirtans added, some fixes applied. Still work in progress.
Here are some lavish chord charts for the 7 kirtans for harmonium, bass, and guitar that I published the other day.
Here are some photos:
I first did chord charts like this in 2005. You can see my (re)post of some basic kirtans arranged for harmonium here.
With this one I upgraded it to have color coding for the different chords. In this version I hid the line that goes under the mantra, which is a facility for putting in the notes of the vocal melody. Once that goes in, the book is basically complete in itself.
If you like it, feel free to send me something to encourage me to do more - it can be some feedback, a contribution in kind of chord charts for other kirtans, a video of you doing kirtan after learning from this, or whatever.
I will post the ods/xls source file for this when I get back from Sydney. About to catch a plane... laters!
Hey Sitapati, Awesome Guitar Chords!
Hare Krsna,
I was in Brisbane 2 summers ago and stayed over at the temple there with Bhakta Keith and Dhruva Das for a week or so and was able to attend an AtmaYoga session with yourself and Daya Maya, and Vrajadhama and Prema, maybe you remember me...
Anyways, I somehow found your blog recently and funny enough the Boulder Krishna House in Colorado has been in need of guitar chords for doing bigger kirtans at yoga centers and so this is really awesome! Jayasacisuta das and myself have been trying to work out guitar chords for a while with little time and advancement in the project. Anyways, this is really great and wanted you to know that,
Haribol,
BK Jeff
