    I`m a 64 year old bloke with a battered but beautifully sounding 50 yr old Eros. Remember this song being released and loved it since. Thanks to you I am now playing it. A great lesson. Who said you can`t teach old dogs new tricks. 👍

    Thanks for this. I learned the Boxer back in the 70’s by figuring it out from the record (wore out lots of record player needles learning songs that way). I play it mostly like this, but never did figure out the intro. Gonna add it to the song and use it in my next gig.

    When I stand Paul Simon perform the song live he did not change the tune in on his guitar at all he just left it standard tuning maybe he did it in the studio version but not an ally version and basically sounded the same to me I like the way you say the Notes with a finger picking pattern it helps rather than just numbers I’m a note reader anyway so thank you so much you’re a good teacher have a 👍🎸 i’m not confused by anything that you’re doing because I’m a long-time guitarist solo instrumentalist for 46 years I just don’t know how to play it by ear so I read music but I can also learn this way too thanks again 👍😁😎🎸

    Been playing guitar for many years mainly classical arrangements from guitar scores but never managed to find the picking patterns for popular music. The right hand technique is just as important as the left which has often let me down. Thank you for the lesson I picked it up in an hour singing along might prove to be a challenge. I would like to learn some more right hand finger patterns if I could

    I'd class myself in the 'not bad' category of guitarists and after the first minute of actually watching you play this I had a good idea of where I was going with it but your explanations further in are good and its an excellent lesson especially for people who are struggling a little with the travis pick for the bassline. Nice work man, and a welcome upload :) Subbed and recommended

    Great easy to follow tutorial. Thanks! I am a bit puzzled about your play through in the beginning. Is it the 2nd part? later on you put the strumming bit after having repeated the pattern two times.

    @guloguloguy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thanks for this excellent video lesson!!! IMHO I'm glad that you are so detailed in describing all of the particulars! However, it might be much easier for learning players to view thing from your perspective, (so, perhaps you ight consider placing your camera(s) above your left shoulder, looking down at the fret board.

      All the info you need is in there, this is one of the most effective ways to learn a song. Use your ear a little, watch the fretboard and listen to what he says. It is hard to pick out this fast a pattern without a tutorial but this is pretty clear.
