I am a beginner and I am just on my second guitar course. But with your video, I can already play the intro (not yet very fluent)..thank you a lot. I will keep practicing because this is my favorite song.❤

Hi Chris. I've been plugging away. I think I finally have the end bit. Much blood, sweat, and tears. You're a very good teacher. Thank you. 😊

Hi, The way I think of the first two bits of the intro is that it is a normal C shape simply moved up two frets, take lift up your third finger to begin, play the arpeggio then put the third finger back. Also think of it as an Am7 moved up 2 frets then put down the third finger to complete the "C" shape. The next move is a run down to G in a similar way to what is happening at the beginning of Kathy's song. No need to worry about naming the chords.

Real nice! I like how you slowly go over each part and play it at a reduced tempo, often, it really ties things together. Sometimes things can get a bit disjointed when you’re just calling out frets and sting number. I learned from your Vincent video and I found myself getting lost a bit frustrated a few times but I persevered. You make some of the most accurate lessons on KZbin and I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. It’s making me a better guitar player. Thank you.

Paul Simon has always been my favorite musical artist and I hope the fact that there are so many different KZbin channels with people giving tutorials on how to play his songs means a whole new generation is discovering him.

Nice, good tutorial, I went thru it, but wish it was a full fingerstyle arrangement, with melody. Any plans for that?

@stefano.b65stef77 10 ай бұрын

Hi, the name of the chords are usually more complicated that the chords themselves! great tutorial as usual.

I have most of it, but I've played the last part, she once was a true love of mine several times after the 2 pull offs and just can't follow that bit at the end of the verse. It's very frustrating. Otherwise, it's a very good tutorial.

Do I need that clamp that holds the strings?

@orinthiamartin1189 9 ай бұрын

You need that, yes. At least if you want it to sound accurate. Otherwise it will be lower, but still okay-ish. Maybe in the wrong key. It's called a capo and they come in different styles.
