Another nice job Kevin. Like others have said, "The Boxer" has long been one of my all time favorites. Your fingerpicking is so strong that I think you coud also add the melody notes and a few hammer-ons (particularly on the Am) and have a very fine instrumental version of that song. Keep up the good work and thank you for posting your video.

Kevin,

That was really great!!! I too would like to see the TAB if you have it. That has to be one of my all time favorite songs and you just nailed the heck out of it. Oh and the camera did an awesome job.

Our-freaking-standing, Kevin. Beautiful picking. I had to watch it a couple of times and force myself to stop singing so I could hear you clearly.

Glad to see some Simon and Garfunkle as a student video. I'd have guessed that they would have appeared long before they did. The Dangling Conversation is another Simon and Garfunkle song that I think you would play incredibly well.

Regarding this performance, you play it beautifully on the guitar and would almost complete the effort with some vocals. I think you should give it a try. Also, the guitar solo bit would be easy for you to learn and that, along with the vocals, would make this a gem indeed.

Kevin, You did a really nice job with that song. It's a song I have loved and played for a long time too. I was just about to put up a video of that song myself. But now, I don't know. A friend and I used to play and sing that song for hours on end back when we were kids. It's a classic for sure.

Well done,
Steve

I have always loved this song, and you did it proud !!! Great job - a joy to listen to. Very steady picking. And don't let Michele hassle you.... I cut the head off most of my videos, but it is completely by design. Love those little cameras - the picture is so good. Izzy
