First Guitar Solo of Sano Prakash by Atomic Bush

I encoded this guitar tabs for ‘Sano Prakash’ second solo/lead with reference from the You Tube Video Lesson by Pranil Rai. For easier progression on this solo, it’s better to refer to his video simultaneously.

I know you are getting restless to start shredding the legendary ‘Sano Prakash’ solo. Let’s get started…

Points to Consider:

# Memorize C#m Pentatonic Scale (Most of the notes move around this scale at 9-12^th fret)

# Make your finger ‘TAP’ ready. There are lots of tapping (and sliding and vibrato).

# Using Whammy Bar

# Shifting between bridge and neck picks.

Guitar Tabs and Chords for Gahiro by Monkey Temple

Thanks to Guitar Maestro, Aashik Shrestha, who swiftly worked out the following Guitar Tabs and Chords for Gahiro song by Monkey Temple. In fact, Aashik has contributed to most of the Guitar Tabs and Chords available in this blog. He is one kind of a person. Truly a Genius. Doesn’t even need a Guitar to write tabs… Just can do it on paper. Calling him the 21st Century Mozart or Beethoven won’t be an overstatement. (FYI: Mozart and Beethoven didn’t know how to write tabs or use distortion and other effects!)

All right. Let’s get down to the business, shall we?

The song is NOT played in standard tuning. So you need to loosen those strings a li’l bit.

Is Atomic Bush Getting Back Together?

If you are one of us 90s kids, then you must know who or what I am talking about here. Most of the Millennials grew up listening to Atomic Bush in their college years. Atomic Bush started out as an underground, progressive rock band back in 2005, and we lived to witness their biggest hit “Sano Prakash” and many others. However, after doing some gigs mostly with KTMRocks and releasing their only album P Jam, the band took a break. But better late than never, something big is happening again. Is Atomic Bush getting back together? Thank you for the question.

What Happened to Atomic Bush?

The decision to split up the legendary band was due to the conflict of interests among the band members. Each of them had bigger ambitions. Sunny Tuladhar started his own line of custom guitars as ST Custom Guitars which he uses for his gigs. Bibhusan Basnet kept himself busy with filmmaking as well as music. Sunny, Rajan, and Abhishek from Atomic Bush formed Jindabaad with talented Rohit Shakya and Kiran Shahi. If you want to read more about what happened to Atomic Bush, you can find the full article here.

Is Atomic Bush Getting Back Together?

Back to the trillion dollars question. Is Atomic Bush getting back together? Based on Sunny Tuladhar’s Instagram post, we can expect to hear something from the legendary band Atomic Bush very soon in 2023. You can also see that Atomic Bush is officially on Instagram now. Furthermore, Sunny Tuladhar posted stories on his Instagram where he hinted that Atomic Bush rehearsals were going on, after 18 years. It’s a no-brainer that the band is cooking something. Even a 5th grader can tell that! Which grade are you on?

A post shared by Sunny ST (@sunnyst.music)

It’s expected that the band will come up with something within March. The fans are really excited about this most-awaited reunion after 18 years. God Damn, if you were born when the band had split up, you would be eligible to be a citizen by now. You’d better call yourself Sano Prakash.

All the band members, viz. Sunny Tuladhar, Bibhusan Basnet, Abhishek Bhadra, Rajan Shrestha, and Alec Sciamma are back together to revive Atomic Bush once again. Bibhusan Basnet looks like a wise, modern-day sage. Well, Sunny Tuladhar still looks the same. Tom Cruise should take some advice from our Sunny Dai on how to stay and look young forever. And, of course, there are some gray beards in the band. They haven’t grown older. They have become wiser.

Final Words

Atomic Bush is one of the few underground bands that shook the Nepalese Rock Music horizon and became more popular than many other mainstream bands. I can’t even remember other contemporary bands from the first decade of the 21st century. But Atomic Bush never faded away from our hearts and minds. We wanted more of them. And they didn’t let us down. It’s only a matter of time before Atomic Bush officially reunites again and fires up the crowd and the stage.

Are you ready to rock? Are you ready for some crazy headbangs?
