The Boxer - revised - Simon & Garfunkel Cover guitar

[annadams95340]

I haven't noticed any problems so far. I didn't get to hear all of them yet but I listed them for future plus few others. Noticed the hymns. My husband is LDS (I'm United Methodist but somehow we coexist) and I bet he knows some of them. I know Come, Come Ye Saints which gives me chills when I hear it.

@annadams95340 well.... I suppose if you're listening late at night, you're in the right frame of mind not to hear any of the problems....lol.... ah, yes, your husband should know some of the LDS tunes - most, probably. I threw a couple in there that are less mainstream. I was going to put one or two more up today but ended up doing other things. I need to practice some more of them anyway, get a bit more used to playing them, before I put them up. I have Come Come Ye Saints out here.

[doofus0123]

@doofus0123 I have 2 versions of Come Come Ye Saints out here - one on 6-string guitar, and one on mandolin. and a bunch of Children's songs too. It s a biased selection - I'm playing mainly my favorites.

[annadams95340]

So now, I'm working my way through your S&G covers. It will take me a while. Started with Mrs. Robinson, now this one - next El Condor Pasa.

[doofus0123]

@annadams95340 ah, nice! I did a lot of those very late at night, and I compromised quality at the expense of haste. I need to do them again. you have been warned....lol

Do you play "My Lovely Horse" by Father Ted Crilly and Father Dougal McGuire

[doofus0123]

@cclivelive17 LOL. never heard of it till you asked, but it sounds pretty catchy.

Excellent job 5*****!

[doofus0123]

thanks!

[aguyatthebeach]

Very nice indeed. And I loved that you whistled the theremin (?) part from the original recording - which has always been my inclination when playing this song solo. - I know S & G like to add that "changes" lyric there when live, but I prefer the original.

Great job!

[doofus0123]

thanks so much for watching/listening! (did you mean "interim" part?)

[themusicman1979]

[doofus0123]

thanks! and yeah... I'll have a look at the version you've done; thanks for the heads-up.

I was raised listening to Simon and Garfunkel--in the midst of this I became partial to the Boxer...while surfing youtube for it I found your video here and was VERY PLEASED!!!!! You do a great job--the guitar is wonderfull, gave me goosebumps

[doofus0123]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[boogieman079]

great song..well done man

[doofus0123]

Thanks so much!

[doofus0123]

Thank you! I see you have spared yourself my original version (maybe i deleted it..yes I think I did).

[shanegalang2]

Always a pleasure to listen to your work. I like this!

[doofus0123]

Thank you very much!

[LisaLaky]

Nice job...impressive picking!!! Wish I could sing the harmony parts with you!

:)

[doofus0123]

thanks! lol I can sorta hear you singing them in the background, now I've listened to some of your work out here.

[LisaLaky]

Holler if you ever come to Austin, we'll jam it out live!!!! :)

[doofus0123]

thanks! this could be fun.....

[jackbenney]

Nice. Good job, I like it. :-)

[doofus0123]

Thank you!

[omiolo1]

I came back to listen again.

thanks.

[doofus0123]

Excellent!

[omiolo1]

I think I like your version better. There are parts that I feel have more meaning when you sing them.

[doofus0123]

well, that's great to hear. Thanks! this is "revised" from my other one where I was very sleep-deprived and this one's a bit sharper, a bit crisper.
