Bheegi Bheegi from Gangster
Performed by James and band
By Sanjeev George and Thomas George
This track is an amazing song in the movie.
If we aren’t wrong, 3 guitars have been used in the song.
One plays all the acoustic arpeggios,
One the electric arpeggios and all the power chords with distortion,
and the last plays all the leads, with some unique sort of distortion.
Please listen to the song for understanding the tab better. There seems to be a lot of
on
and bend-release throughout the song.
Symbols used in this tab (note carefully):
| s slide up or down as required
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ let ring
| v vibrato

And then finally the acoustic guitar arpeggios played by guitar 2
And it ends on an E minor strum played by guitar 2.
This tab may not correspond exactly to the way the song is played in the video, but it sounds
pretty accurate to us.
We haven’t tabbed some of the parts in between. If someone can tab them, fine and good.
All corrections, comments to improve this tab are most welcome.
