I was a bit confused listening to this. You've quite clearly got ability finger picking but play it way to fast. I think the reason your voice sounds a little ropy is again because you're singing too fast. Slow it all down, way down, and it will sound much better. I hope you don't mind me saying all of this, but I value and encourage positive criticism as it helps us improve. It's been a few years since you posted this and it would be interesting to here how you sing and play it now.
The key word in the title to this video is "cover". He's not freaking simon or garfunkle. He doesn't have to play it exactly right. Post your own video if you think this one sucks so bad.
You play good guitar man. I am working on this song since months and I am still playing it so slow. Hope I can once play it like you. It's specially hard for me to swap from the melody to the strum squence! Well done
Awful voice. Sorry man. As for the guitar part, I'm not really qualified to criticize, all I know is, it sounds better when Paul Simon plays it. Timing was good though.
:| I'd try to not sing with a Kuntuckey accent. . . You did not justice to this song. At all. That was horrible. Simon and Garkfunkel are MUCH better. And for a tip, when you're singing the song, please don't clearly pronounced every word sung. . . please.
I appreciate your critique. I disagree with you about lyrics, however. They should be clearly pronounced so listeners can understand what you're singing. However, I'd be glad to watch the demonstration video you make to show me how to do it correctly. :-)
..."comprised of four letters" Those letters spell "mike". You need to invest in a microphone! You play awesome and sing well. Do the song justice and buy a decent microphone. MORE PAUL SIMON SONGS!!!

The notes you are singing are wrong.Listen to yourself singing in this video, and practice until you get it right.
Don't put videos of yourself singing up unless you've sung every note perfectly, it doesn't have to be one take.
