Danny’s Song Chords & Lessons by Kenny Loggins
Welcome to my Danny’s Song guitar chords and lesson page by Kenny Loggins. This is such a great song and I had a number of students in my 7 Level Guitar System program ask be about it.
So here it is!
This song is primarily fingerpicked. There is a second guitar the also does some strumming. I’m going to give you a general fingerpicking pattern but understand that there is some variation.
I will also give you a strumming pattern to use over the chorus to add in some dynamics for performances.
