Kenny Loggins - Footloose

How to play Kenny Loggins - Footloose by Miluzie on guitar

This song is a fun beginner play-along because it has a bright, driving feel and a steady pulse that keeps you moving. At about 120 BPM, it feels energetic without being too fast, so you can focus on staying relaxed and locked in with the groove.

You can lean on mostly open shapes here, with the harder barre shapes showing up when the chart moves to A#m. The main thing to watch is the opening change A - A#m - Dm - A, since that shift asks you to move quickly and cleanly between an open chord and a barre shape.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the finger changes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chart in short sections, keeping your strums even and your left hand relaxed. When that feels solid, bring it up to tempo and practice the full song without stopping.

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.
