Excellent job!

Great technique with the fingerpicking and well done singing at the same time. B)

Very nice job Jay. It is indeed a difficult song to sing (I tend to stay away from the Art Garfunkel range) and it was great to hear you give it a go.

Stuart,
If you don't want to try to hit Art's notes, you can sing it in the style of Bob Dylan. From Dylan's Self Portrait album, which I liked a lot when it came out, although I later heard most people didn't like this album with a lot of cover tunes and other strange tunes:

I was looking forward to hearing that, Jim, but it's been blocked "in my country". I'll search elsewhere. Thanks.

Thanks to all for taking the time to watch. Still some work do to on it, but I am pleased with it generally. I'd really like to improve my singing and have been toying with the idea of taking some singing lessons. Coudn't hurt, I guess. Finding the time is a problem, though. Anyway, thanks again. I have another video or two in the works that I will try to finish up before long. I will look forward to seeing some videos from the rest of you as well.

I watched Bob Dylan's version of this song and must admit that I did not care for it much. And speaking of Bob Dylan, if you haven't seen Neil's recent lesson of Joan Baez's Diamonds and Rust, I'd suggest taking a look if you like fingerpicking songs.

Beautifully done, Jay. Your playing is a real inspiration to me.
