Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma

How to play Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma by Luke Combs on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 3 you play A, Am, D, G, C, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a great beginner pick because it moves at a steady pace and has a strong, driving feel. You can get into the groove quickly, and the opening progression gives you a clear pattern to lock onto right away.

You’ll use easy open shapes for C and F, while Cm, A#, and D# are the harder barre shapes. The main thing to watch is the quick shift between C and Cm, since that change can feel awkward at first. Keep your hand close to the fretboard and aim for clean transitions.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly: C, Cm, C, F. Loop that until the changes feel smooth, then add the barre shapes one at a time. Once your hands know the movement, bring it up to tempo and focus on staying relaxed.

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.
