Guitar: The Boxer (Simon and Garfunkel cover)

[eagle180181]

Man .........awesome :-)

[nomusician]

what drove you to change the verse in the middle there?

[threelegsoman]

@nomusician That's the way that verse is written; fewer lyrics but it is followed by an instrumental that I am not competent enough to play.

great cover! how old is your Eko ?ranger? ?

[threelegsoman]

@omassi Thanks for your kind comment. My guitar is nearly 40 years old as is my 12-string EKO

[omassi]

@threelegsoman nice guitar I'm from italy and I have an Eko too a cheap one but sounds great :)

[WongFeiFox]

nice lil cover. I'm trying to learn the finger picking version original and the same version Sunga Jung plays as well, but I like this could be your folky vocals -sounds almost sea shanty-ish with a bit of liverpool accent, nice one.

[threelegsoman]

@WongFeiFox Thank you very much. The hint of a Liverpool accent is actually more a hint of a Manx accent, but as the Isle of Man is half way between Liverpool and Ireland I suppose it is a little like Scouse. :-))

I'm checking out the Simon covers uploaded to utube.

He's 1 of my faves...not bad.

great song, nice cover;)

[threelegsoman]

@masterrofl Thank you. Coming from a musician of your quality I take that as a great compliment

[rawlinggloves]

This was great. I am only 21, but i think watching someone play this song that has walked the road of life was an experience for me. And your voice is so real and fits the sentiment of this song perfectly. thank you for posting this and it was great.

[threelegsoman]

@rawlinggloves Thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate the sentiment very much.

Your soothing my ears

This was actually pretty good, when i clicked this video i thought it wouldn't be too great, but im shocked. Never stop singing.

[threelegsoman]

@JDreamM23 Thank you for your kind comment. ( Paul Simon is older than me by the way, so never judge a book by its cover. lol :-)) )
