Hey guitar friends, I'm proud of you for learning and improving your playing.
You guys are doing great.
Today I'm going to show you how to play Oklahoma Smoke Show by Zach Bryan.
We're going to play it with the capo on the first fret.
[Ab] The chord positions we'll play with the capo on the first fret are G, C, [Db] D, [Eb] and [Fm] E minor.
Our intro will [Ab] start out on the G chord.
We're going to do some picking here.
[Eb] For the G, we're going to go [Ab] 4th string, 3rd string, 2nd string.
All of those are open.
Then we're going to go to the C chord and go 5th string, 4th [Db] string, 2nd string.
On that 2nd string, you can do an up pick.
Then we'll go [F] to the E minor and we're going to go 6, [Fm] 4, 3.
Then 4, 3.
Then we're going to go to our D position [Eb] and go 4, 3, 2.
Then we're going to slide up from the 3rd fret to [Fm] the 5th fret.
Then we'll pick the 2nd string again.
[Bbm] Then we'll come back down to the [Eb] 3rd fret.
[Ab] Then we'll pick the 3rd string open to end it.
[Eb] Here's what that D looks like.
[Ab] Then we'll go to our G.
[F] Here's the intro straight through slowly for [Ab] you.
[Db] [Fm]
[F] [Ab] Then we'll go to our G chord and start the first verse.
You can just do down strums here.
Palm muting also.
Lightly press your right hand palm onto the strings to mute them a little bit.
You can also just do down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up strumming.
I'm going to do the down, up, down, up, down, up for the verse here.
[Db] [Fm] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Db] [Fm]
[Eb] [Ab] I'm going to do the down, [Db] [Fm]

[Fm] [Eb] [Ab] All those verses have the same chord progression.
Then we're going to go into our [Db] pre-chorus, and here I'm going to quiet down the strumming
a little bit.
So here's how we play through the pre-chorus.
She's an Oklahoma smoke show.
[Ab] He's an asshole from back home.
[Eb] She'll never make it out [Fm] alive.
That [Db] small town boy is a big deal.
[Ab]
[Eb] He'd take you home, but he's too drunk to [Fm] drive.
If you want, you can just down-strum on that E minor, and then we're going to go back to
[Db] the C to play through the chorus.
So here's how we play the chorus.
I've been here, I've been up all night.
[Ab] Thinking about a life with you and I.
[Eb] One you'll never know, you're a small [Fm] town smoke show.
[Db] I've been here.
Then we'll play through the chorus again.
After the chorus, we have our instrumental.
So we'll play C, G, [Fm] D, E minor, then C, G, D, E minor one more time, and [Ab] then we're going
to go back to the G chord, and we're just going to repeat the first two verses here
to end the song.
If you made it this far, it's test time.
I want you to play through the full thing with me now and let me know how you did with it.
