I just did a little tour of all the “how to play The Boxer” videos. This guy is superb. Who else would figure out that iconic intro for us? Nobody. Plus stories about the original musicians. Best. The best. Definitely the best. Most definitely the best.
Fabulous lesson. Such an iconic song and one that all acoustic guitarists want to know and play. This was the very first song I learned on guitar back when I was 15 years old in the mid 70's. I had a Paul Smon songbook with just the chord diagrams, and hours and hours of practice alone in my bedroom. I learned the chords and strummed away, and then I tried the fingerpicking, doing exactly as suggested here in this video ; thumb and then one finger then introducing the second finger. It didn't all go smoothly at first but I kept on and after a couple of days, suddenly to my amazement I was doing it without thinking. I too had been blown away by watching and listening to someone else fingerpicking, and now I was doing it too! So I can confirm to anyone watching who wants to learn to play, you can do it! It may take practice, but a little bit everyday will certainly reap rewards. Just enjoy your playing and have fun, and with lessons like this, it won't be too long before you're playing like a pro.

Brilliant. Just brilliant. Fast enough for experienced players just looking for some pointers, and slow enough for those needing it spelled out. SO great to see accuracy in these posts. Can't wait 'til I get some dough so I can donate to this worthy effort. Seriously. Thank you for your excellence.
Such attention to detail, and taking the time to slow it down so us lesser players can see, hear, and understand. It gives us a chance to actually learn it. I have watched so many instructional videos where, yah, I can see the chords, I can hear the playing, but give up because I just can't get to replicate it. Your videos are so complete.

I've been playing The Boxer since the day it was released and still love it. Never had a clue how to play the intro and never thought it was possible. Until today ! Thank you. !!
Watched many of these videos over the last couple of years. They're so well presented that they make these classics accessible to many of us and a bit of the history thrown in to boot. Thank you so much.
After looking at a thousand channels and still not getting it you helped me get it. I can play the first two notes which couldn’t before! Thank you you’re a great instructor I can’t wait to watch this video on loop so I can learn the whole song!

Hi Andy. It is a very very very big present for all of us. This is for me a masterpiece. I can hear this song 100 thousand times and still be touched by the tune and sensitivity of the lyrics. Paul Simon is my favorite song writer. I will catch my guitar now and try to play as you do. Cheers. Mathieu (from France).
This is one of the best songs ever. I remember using my old mans headphones when he was gone and playing this over and over. I must have been around 10 or so. Thanks so much for this one. I WILL get the travis picking down. I just need more practice. A bunch more.
What an awesome tutorial Tommy. Not only your performance was flawless and brilliant but your way of teaching and walking us through the song was also delightful. I am the director of a language school and in a sense, we also have to teach certain techniques that truly makes a difference. Thank you for your lesson and I will be following your great tutorials.
I remember the exact "time?" and place when I suddenly found my thumb doing the bounce, I was running around showing all my pals. It was a great feeling. It still feels good 39 years later when I adapt it to new songs. I still need to catch up with these guy's, when I started there was no on-screen instruction or internet, it was listen, listen listen, picking out each note.
Man, when I think that the only way to learn when I was a kid was to listen to the record, try it on my guitar, listen to the record, try it on my guitar, and repeat 20x and hope I got it right. If the song was super important, I spent the few bucks on the sheet music - which had the 'official' chords, melody, and lyrics. If I later found out I was wrong in my copying of the song, it was usually because the guitarist on the record was playing in a different position. TH-cam is a lifesaver. I no longer spend hours trying to sound like the record. Usually, one guitarist has the song nailed. I copy him. It saves me tons of exploration. Hooray for technology! Now, if they could only write and play better songs I could listen to the radio again.
you have no idea how long I have been searching for this type of tutorial on this song, especially the intro standard tuning as I play solo and don't have another guitarist to do alternate tunings, many thanks
I have been trying to get the travis picking style down for months, and finally it just clicked for me. I'm not sure what set it off, but it just makes sense now! THANK YOU!
Great lesson, direction and guidance.. you are an amazing uplifting boost, to the guitar learning community..the effort and diligence to the details you obviously employ, is exactly what allows you to appear so effotless..always do appreciate your insight, and depth of interest you exude, in your learning as well as your teaching..
Like some others here, I too love this song and always wanted to play it well. All I had before was the chords and some crappy tabs. Now, with this excellent tutorial, I can give it my best. Thanks to you, bro. You da man!
This is the best tutorial on this song! And yes, that one lick DID screw me up....but how you broke it down....helped me get it pretty quickly. Thanks so much!
1:36 Intro as recorded in GADGBD 6:05 Intro in standard tuning 7:35 Verses 18:06 Chorus 20:40 Last Verse Variation "New York City Winters" 22:45 Bass part structure and playthrough
I knew about one country riff, and it was a simple hammer-on one. Within 4 weeks of learning guitar properly, I can now play this kinda! Yay. Gotta say, you're a great teacher. Finger picking riffs NEED to be broken down in to sections like you're doing, but also with thumb separation it's perfect. Thanks.
U mean there are actually two guitars at the same time. Oh! that explained why I was scratching my head how to play the introduction for the last n years! Will try this out. Many thanks.
It's ok for the first guitar and the sense of picking ...... and thank you for your video (your G string is to be adjusted, right?) It shivers ......... In this title there are 3 guitars ..... the second ornamented and the third scratch simply to smooth everything. The mixing has a lot to do with it It's a Swiss army knife! And the result is incomparable with many other titles played on the guitar! This is the summit! simply GRANDIOSE!
Very nicely done especially with the split screen on the entro. Your demonstration followed by explanation and slow speed was perfect for capturing and showing how this song is out together. As some of your viewers explained I ha e played it wrong for a long time but usually around a camp fire with a beer I never heard complaints. Now I have some work to do. Thank you for a brilliant explanation and demonstration. One of th better tutorials on the tube.
Yeah, I found Andy after getting fed up with guys wanting to teach me music theory while teaching a song. I could teach music theory, oh yeah, I do. I just want a shortcut to working songs out myself from scratch.
Dang I knew it. I was working out El Paso one night and thought there was a connection between that intro and the intro for The Boxer. Just the style of the guitar playing caught me and I wondered if it was the same guy who played both intros. You confirmed my suspicions thanks..
DEF best teacher on TH-cam bar none...THANK YOU for the invaluable lessons! BTW the inside picking pattern is much easier and sounds more natural imho...
Hi think I may TRY & play this properly after seeing your vid. Great attention to tricky bits when needed & without counting off frets slowing the flow as already mentioned. First pick I learned years back was Denver's 'this old guitar' I kinda think this tune is just a more embellished finger style. Thanks for showing a beautiful song in a way that I just MAY be even to play! Fingers crossed 👍
Excellent instruction. I've learned/created several fingerstyle songs using altered tunings (open D, open C, DADGAD), thinking standard tuning was kind of a pain for the thumb to get around, but this arrangement looks great. Thanks!
So, I feel a bit funny asking for another tutorial after all the hard work you've done on this, but you know, I think the world would be an even better place if you would bless us with a tutorial of Peace Like a River by Paul Simon.
Great lesson! Fred Carter Jr. was a wonderful guitarist; his intro is gold. I believe the lead work on El Paso, though, was played by the late, great Grady Martin.
Thank you so much for this! I've been searching for the perfect lesson for this song and this is the one I actually understand and doesn't go too fast.
Awesome tutorial man Thanks s million One of the best songs ever written👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇮🇪👍🏻

Yes, I think Paul Simon played the intro with standard tuning by himself and the orginal recording was tuned down half key. Concert version can be C key or even Db.
I just wanted to say thank you so much I knew this song but I was picking it a little bit different I do a lot of Travis picking and a lot of Tommy Emmanuel’s songs thank you thank you
This will make 6 years that I have been playing the guitar 🎸 and I was never an advanced finger picker. This song is a great challenge for me and you’re an even better teacher . Thank you for the lesson.
Very helpful video with one small critique/suggestion: when playing the C chord at 0:08, the left hand should not be “hopping” back and forth between bass notes C and G. Both bass notes should be kept down simultaneously in the left hand. This creates a more fluid sound as you can hear (and see) when Paul Simon performs this live.
Outstanding lesson! Always appreciate your song choices, the supplemental info on how it was actually played on the recording, and your attention to detail on the fingerpicking patterns. Your site is the best among all I've seen on TH-cam for learning and appreciating acoustic and electric guitar...bravo! I'm hoping someday we'll get your take on some classic Doobie Brothers acoustic masterpieces, like Slat Key Soquel Rag or others that require multiple guitars...as you recently did for those awesome 'Cars' songs. Great job!!!
Best guitar teacher on youtube, hands down.
Absolutely
Um have you heard of guitarzerotohero he’s actually the best
Agreed. Top notch lessons, no nonsense. I appreciate that he plays it at the beginning.
Masterly as usual. RIP Hal Blaine, the drummer on the track, who passed this week. He was one of the greatest session drummers of all time.

Your explanation of Travis picking was great. Your explanation of the song was easy to understand. Thanks!
These are the best lessons on TH-cam in my opinion. The guys that count off frets and strings for each note are too painfully slow.
Totally agree.
Except this tutorial isn't completely right lol
@@SlightlyNothing what's wrong with it?
Awesome lesson. Perfectly paced!!! Thankyou!
some lessons are agony: put your third finger on the third fret on the bottom string..
One of the greatest albums in history. Thanks for the video. It was wonderful!
Thanks for showing the intro in standard! I’d been wanting to play that lick for ages and never quite got it.
Man that finger pickin is like a train. It's slow then picks up speed and feels natural! Thank you this is awesome.
Your arrangements and explanations/demonstrations are so excellent, Andy!!! Thx for all you do for us.
Thank you for helping me fall in love with guitar again. Please do one on Kathy’s Song or For Emily wherever I may find her!

Jim Croce - I'll Have To Say I Love You In a Song
This lesson is gonna get a lot of views, I can tell already.
those chords are so beautiful , and you sir, are a Master guitarist
wow tat was really good. you made it look very easy on them hard parts. i never finished this song , but i will now, thank you
Yes. The best to-the-point lessons going.
By far the best tutorial I of this song!
Hi think I may TRY & play this properly after seeing your vid. Great attention to tricky bits when needed & without counting off frets slowing the flow as already mentioned.

beautiful your lessons are exciting and your humility reflects on your courses a big thank to you Jp
A beautiful and very helpful lesson . Thank You so Much .

I REQUIRE that this man make a Jim Croce tutorial.
Time in a Bottle.
Excellent instruction. I've learned/created several fingerstyle songs using altered tunings (open D, open C, DADGAD), thinking standard tuning was kind of a pain for the thumb to get around, but this arrangement looks great. Thanks!
Thanks for a great Simon and Garfunkel song. “As Tears Go By” by The Rolling Stones is another very neat finger picking song.
So, I feel a bit funny asking for another tutorial after all the hard work you've done on this, but you know, I think the world would be an even better place if you would bless us with a tutorial of Peace Like a River by Paul Simon.
The Boxer was released as a single in 1969, before the album Bridge Over Troubled Water in 1970, by the way excellent lesson.

Yes, I think Paul Simon played the intro with standard tuning by himself and the orginal recording was tuned down half key. Concert version can be C key or even Db.

Very helpful video with one small critique/suggestion: when playing the C chord at 0:08, the left hand should not be “hopping” back and forth between bass notes C and G.
