Thanks to you I have a shot at learning it. I bought my first Martin last week and can't wait to test my chops on it with your cover video as a guide! BTW I have an old Guild 12 string too! She is at the luthier being prepared for her next 40 years. Again, top notch cover!
do you have "nature of the game" figured out. i'd really like to add that one to my fogelberg repertoire. actually, if you know the tuning, i might be able to figure it out myself.
Wow! Coming from you who knew Dan well personally, I am blown away! Thank you so much!!! This song is so fun to play and sing, I just hope that I'm doing it some modicum of justice -- it's absolutely one of my favorites!!! Thanks again, Jay.
@tfelus would be interested in the alernate tuning. can you share?
thanks
tim
great rendition!
@jay -- Thanks again, Tim. "Hard To Say" is in Open D tuning (D A D F# A D). Dan like that tuning; he also used for "The Reach", "Forefathers", "Hearts & Crafts" and I think I'm missing more...
Very good cover! Thanks for sharing, Bill! I just returned from the 2nd Dan Fogelberg Memorial weekend in Peoria! It's so good seeing Dan honored and his music still alive!

Thank you for the kind words. I was in Peoria also -- what an awesome weekend!
@Colin1960Smith Thanks very much, Colin. I have checked your version out, good job! Great job in figuring out the song -- not an easy one. I was very unsatisfied with the way I was playing this until YouTube came along and I was able to study Dan's concert video to get the correct guitar technique / arrangement. Your video helped also! I see you're using a Martin guitar -- right on!!!
I have several other DF covers out there, do you? Stay with it! Ever On.
@JayDH100 I need to organize a mike, then I'll do some more. Your playing style is spot on and guitar sound great. I saw Dan in concert six times and met him fleetingly back stage in 2003 at his Soundstage performance in Chicago. A special moment for me. People like you and me can do him proud by being living legacies.
