The tabs on the web site do not match what you are playing here. I LOVE THIS VERSION. a better angle of what you are doing or slower tutorial would be AWESOME! PLEASE!!!!
@BaddGuitar Thanks for your response. I did tune accordingly. When i see you play it appears you are hitting notes that dont correspond. The barred 5th in the intro..and the pull off on "i am in love with you" part." it seems you are hitting a 2nd fret A string and the tabs seem to tell me its a higher note. If you have a paypal account I would be happy to pay you for a couple lessons to get it down. I want to play this at my wedding. And as I am not an accomplished player, this is my only way
I would like to learn how to play this. I have watched many performers play several songs and they comprimise things. They sound different. You my friend are flawless., Watching you it seems you want to sing along. Thank you for allowing me watch you play. You are a TRUE guitarist.
You must have tuned at least 2 or 3 strings accordingly,because the first chord you play without pressing any string at all doesn't sound like that when you play open chords,which one you tuned different ?
Wonderful cover of this song! You sound and play very much like my dad, and I loved listening to him play this song. Your humming really reminds me of him playing it too! Very nice, I'd like to see a version where you actually sing. :-)
Hi brother. Try to see my version. The chords are almost the same as this but you can see it much clearer. You need to use an Open G chord. Try visiting my site maybe it can help you. thanks.
Mate That is perfect guitar playing, maybe your not a singer, but your guitar work is stellar. I enjoyed it so much ,I play but your the best. Also one of the best songs ever Bravo!!
thank you thank you thank you. I have really liked this song but didn't realize the alternate tunings, and as my fingers aren't seven inches long I could never play the other chords suggested. Your download song sheet is magic. Thanks again.
Thanks for showing this. Always loved this song, I've been playing it with regular tuning, but now that I've been messing around with open G tuning, I'm ready to give this a go.. Learning new tunings is liking opening another world of guitar..
See told my wife that 12 guitars are all used differently!.. lol.. at least she don't care..
hahahaha! can u just play it emotionally, hahahha cuz it looks weird when u play it both like emotionally and physicaly, hahahaha truzt me, lol.. hahahhahahaha
What really did it for me was your intense emotion that was seen both physically and spiritually, both came out and produced a good cover of Dan's beautiful song!
Alright now I just heard you singing on another song in your channel.... and your voice is way better than most folks. So.. Do this one again and sing for us! Cheers!!
Wonderful job! And you're playing the right cord on open G and make the music sounds just like what we hear from Dan's original recording. The humming part makes the audience feel comfortable, too.
Great job, I love the sounds of acoustic guitar. This is probably my most favorite song of Dan - although it's hard to choose. Listening to it only makes me miss Dan even more!
Dude,...I've played for 38 years and have always done this in standard tuning with lowering the little E string down to D which is ok if you hit all the accents,...never knew Dan did it in Open G, Duuuuuh!? makes it alot easier too,...love Open G, lots of Stones and one of my favorite Doobie Bros. tune "South City Midnight Lady",...great song. Thanks for the lesson after all these years,Fogelberg will live forever! Tim
I wanted to say thanks and I finally got the song down. I play totally by ear,and have no idea what an Open G was. But a friend showed me so sorry for the hassel.
I want say thanks I finally after lstening to it enough time did I figue it out. I never did the music thing, when you said open G I had no idea what it was I had a friend show me. I totally play by ear. Sorry for the hasel. Howard
Hey man, great playing. I was sooo inspired to sing this one with your accompaniment that I made a video with me singing along with your accompaniment shortly after i heard it. Check out my vocals on my account "doublepenetrator". Thanks!
Help me out what key is your guaitar tuned too. Iam tring to play in yur key and I dont know what key to tune to while playing Longer Can you help me out???

Very nice cover, but on you tabs, i think you omitted the notes at 1:10 leading into the bridge, otherwise, it's great. I'm almost got this.
Thank you.
