Hey Everybody,
This week I took a couple spins through the Loggins & Messina catalog and remembered a couple songs that are very cool from a guitar player's point oo view. First up is Long Tail Cat.
The second album from Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina really put them on the map, particularly due to the success of Your Mama Don't Dance. The album featured a bunch of great tunes and this lesson breaks down Loggins' catchy one, Long Tail Cat. It only has a few chords along with a very basic picking pattern that makes it accessible to even beginning guitar players, although a couple barre chords are used.
