Luke Combs - Where the Wild Things Are

How to play Luke Combs - Where the Wild Things Are by LukeCombs on guitar

This song is a great beginner play-along because the progression is simple, steady, and easy to feel once you lock into the groove. At about 120 BPM, it has a smooth, driving motion that makes you want to keep strumming through the changes.

You only need to manage a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is staying relaxed while moving between them. The opening progression is D# - A# - G# - D#, and that quick return to D# is the change to watch most closely.

Start by fingering each chord one at a time, then loop D# - A# - G# - D# slowly until the moves feel automatic. After that, add a steady strum and bring it up to tempo in small steps, keeping your changes clean before you push the speed.

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.
