Luke Combs - When It Rains It Pours

How to play Luke Combs - When It Rains It Pours by LukeCombs on guitar

This is a fun beginner song to learn because it moves with a steady, upbeat feel and the progression is easy to recognize once you lock it in. It has a strong country-pop groove, so you can focus on staying relaxed and keeping the changes clean.

You will use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is switching between the easier grips and the more demanding ones without breaking time. The change to watch is the opening move from D#m to Dm, then into Gm and F#m, since that sequence asks you to shift shape and hand position quickly.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, one change at a time, until each chord rings clearly. Then loop the full pattern at a comfortable pace, and only speed up when your hands can move without hesitation. Once that feels solid, play along with the track and keep your focus on smooth transitions.

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.
