The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel (Guitar Lesson) 

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.

You're hands down my favorite guitar teacher on RU-vid!

The best boxer lesson on RU-vid. Thanks

Wow what a comprehensive but straight forward lesson I'm a beginner/intermediate player and able to follow this and understand each step Thank you

I prefer yours over the few others that came up high...somehow was able to grasp it easier. THANK YOU!

Wow. You are the one bringing me back to life. Thanx Master.

Thankyou, great lesson, this is a good song for building understanding and dexterity, and its a lovely sound too.

Wonderful class, thank you so much Six string.....👋👋🤟🎸

Definitely the best tutorial I've come across. Well done!

I love this channel! Thanks so much for these fantastic lessons, and keep up the great work.

Thanks for giving access to this wonderful song. Excellent teacher.

Just found your page. This is great content and I'm so grateful to have stumbled across your no frills approach to teachibg

Thanks for sharing sir a very useful for me as beginner I have subscribe already. Thanks again

Thank you so much for your great lessons! You bring great joy to many guitar players all around the world! :-)

This video made the learning of this song possible! Thank You!!!

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 Regards.........

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

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 👍😁😎🎸

Great lesson thanks!

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.

Thank you so much for your great lessons. This is one of Simon & Garfunkel song I liked so much.

Good teaching, can you please teach us how to play danny's song.., GODBLESS

I'm rediscovering acoustic guitar after years of playing only electric, and I am inspired by the beauty of your playing. Thanks for all the time and care you put into producing these high-quality videos.

Great teaching

Excellent video 👌

Great lesson. Thank you for putting this up. I'm a beginner and found it easy to follow.

Thank you so much sir

Fantastic! Thank you. (Subbed)

Deadly bro from Ireland 🇮🇪

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.

Thanks for your lesson and hard work on this tune.

Great lesson! Just started working on the boxer and this is so helpful. Thanks.

I was learning "These Days" by Jackson Browne...the chords and picking are quite similar...

Excellent lesson, many thanks!

Excelente lesson. Thank you bro

Hey you do a great job on the song I love the boxer by Paul Simon an art Garfunkel I wish you would dare homeward bound and T-shirt finger style to cause nobody does it and I would highly appreciate that very much have a great day and thanks so much I love the way you play the boxer 🎸🎸👍😁

I play good on this Chris 👍🎸🎶

Wonderful lesson👍🏻

Great lesson

Great video!! I just can’t flick my pinky well on the very first part….my fourth keeps touching the E string…..

Elated to see you enjoying the song

Great teacher

Merci beaucoup ;)...trés bon tuto :)...ps: What is te model of your Yamaha ?...she sounds really good... :)

Well done Mate!

Very nice tutorial. Thanks! It would be so nice if you could do one on Paul Simon's "Duncan" (:

I've seen some of your videos. They're really quite good. I only hope it took you less time to figure out the intro to the Boxer than it took me (I had the fingering all over the fretboard).

what model of this Yamaha it's sound very nice?

Hi Chris superb lesson any chance u can do a lesson on sea of heartbreak ? I can't find a fingerstyle version anywhere thanks buddy

It would be very, very helpful if you sang the song so that I could figure out how the lyrics lay into your tab, which I just purchased!

Superb 👍

ขอยคุณนะครับคุณสอนได้เข้าใจและเล่นตามได้ ถึงผมจะไม่เก่งจะพยายายทำให้ได้เพราะมาก

3:55 (just my time stamp)

Very good lesson but you should have show the pattern of picking better than saying because many don't understand English.

would like the tab included aswell

Your video lessons are amazing. Printing the tab a nightmare. Never go through that again. The tabs without lyrics for reference are a total waste of time and money.

very clear tutorial ended .... not much talking shit like others.

Intro is wrong. See "shut up and play" on this for the correct way. Paul would not have played it as shown.

Plus. Don't cover your guitar strings to allow viewers to learn fingerpickings from you. Ty.

Sorry, but it is wrong. This patern i so wrong. Don't folow this guys

Good god, what's your rush?!...are you really trying to show people this?, or are you just some guy showing how good you can play the boxer?..you are a dime a dozen, might as well just listen to the track and pick it out by ear! Thanks, man, I was actually looking for some help though!

Great lesson; thank you!
