How to play 'The Boxer' by Simon and Garfunkel 

Hi Shane great song, great lesson! One small thing - at the beginning you said you would come back to the intro at the end but you never did.

I’ve tried learning this song many times on you tube.. seriously great lesson!! broken down perfectly. Thank you for your time to put this together. Brilliant!!

hi Shane. Still working on this one but it is coming along. Thanks for the excellent guidance. Ken

I purchased you tab/chord/lyric sheet in January of 2021, and I'm getting to it now. Thanks. Love it.

Absolutely one of my favorite songs! Thank you for making this video, Shane, and Happy New Year!!!

Thank you so much! Perfect tune to learn entering the new year! Happy new year from southern Ontario :)

Awesome teacher... Got me inspired again!!! Thanks!

You're one of the best Shane. Great tutorial. Kevin O'Rourke

Happy New Year! What wonderful surprise and great challenge to start 2021 - Thank you Shane!

Waaaaaaaay above my pay grade for finger picking, but love it! Thanks Shane and happy new year to you!

Know and play this song in original format and different ways! But I love your style of teaching mate, I look forward to your more advanced lessons. Thank you 👍

Starting off 2021 with one bang of a song Shane. Way to bring in the New Year. Next video have Jack in it.

Another great lesson Shane, thank you. Happy New Year from England.

Great tutorial.. I really appreciate Joan Baez Rendition from Oakland New Years Eve 1981 where she opened for the Dead. She strumming chorus hits the high E string for this motif of desperation it causes.. Really made her rendition.... I'll be happy to play either one, Paul's or Miss Baez.. As soon as my vocal opens up I go all off pattern,but this pattern seeming simple comparing to the one I have been starting on for this..lol...

One of my favourite songs. Many thanks. I am just learning guitar and this is one song I would like to learn.

Happy New Year Shane 🥂! Very nice tutorial, ... as always😊 Thank you🌹

Thanks Shane, appreciate your tutorials, happy new year, 🎉🍺cheers

An old fav. thank you and Happy New Year Shane.

Another great 1 happy new year to you hope it’s a better year for Everybody🎆🎆🎁

Amazing

Happy New Year Shane! Great song! Gives me something to chew on!!

I love your videos. I'm making it my mission this year to learn Travis picking. I want to be able to play this and Never Going Back this year.

Happy New Year Shane! I can't wait to play this.

Nice job, though I do wish someone would break down the Fred Carter Jr part that's an absolutely gorgeous melodic counterpoint to Simon playing in standard tuning

I have to say, and I mean this in a good way, you are like the Bob Ross of guitar tutorials.

Happiest of New Years to you Shane! Love this video. I really appreciate your continued excellent instruction. The addition of the bars and chords in the lower corner is super helpful. Great idea! Like the trick for the F with the thumb over the top. Always picking up some pearls from your videos! I'm currently picking my way through Leader of the Band but only have the intro. I see someone else has suggested this as well. I'm sure you would do an awesome job on that. In the meantime, The Boxer is now next on my list because of your video! Cheers! Lisa

Do you think you can do Leader of the Band, Dan Folgerburg? It’s been fun learning all these song from you sir. Thank you.

Great to start with this one on our first Skype lesson of the New Year today Shane. This song always takes me back to summers when I was a teenager - never thought I’d ever actually get to play it. Not a bad songwriter that Paul Simon eh?

Another great lesson. Big thanks. PS - like your new haircut :-)

So great! Thanks Shane.

That nail tough!

Awesome lesson as usual Shane! All the best in the new year

You are not holding back are you?! An other big thank you, for yet an other mega classic, that few knows how to play accurate.

Hm - I never realized until today that the song as originally recorded was tuned down a half step - I though the guitar was capoed at the second fret and the first chord was an A shaped chord (ie, really a B major). So I've always played the song in that position, using A, F#mi, C#mi, E and D shapes, instead of tuned down a half step and using C, Ami, Emi, G and F shapes. I think either way works OK though.

who gives this a thumbs down? great lesson

What can I say; Amazing! Would it be possible to do I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor, funky strum? Thanks for great tutorials.

Well, I know what I’ll be working on for the next year 😂

Shane I can'nt find the music sheets. If I follow your link I end at ;seven bridges road'

Great tutorial... my friends and I wants also to learn... "Faithful Love" by Cesar Manalili.. thank you... stay safe.

just a question how do you get your nails so long and hard?

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍

I found it. was lookin' for THE Boxer .....Sorry

i need a favor, i play a lot of cover amd write. reguarding any cover , youtube teachers always try teaching note by not and i cant rinfg finger 3rd whatever and i am not alone so i am asking that you teach us the chords and stum the songs even the boxer. it gives the non acomplished player the basics and then i pick it my way for instance i play nobodies home on a six string bodville style. the charmers can wear a turtle neck and play it note for note but i am not paul simon . pink floyd or john prine i am me and 9 times i get the hug and the busking dollars and i am subsribing to your chanel

Did I miss it or did you forget the intro?

Check out my cover - search RU-vid for Larry Loeb. Enjoy!!

You’re great but the arrangement are often not identical to the original

Tough song....wow....
