I love it when he says: "I am a good guitar-player, but..." It's not a brag, or even a humble brag; it's a statement of fact which leads to the point he is about to make.

Paul’s interviews are really good, early songs like “Flowers Never Bend” and “For Emily……..” sound as beautiful as ever, and he’s always on a quest to learn more, like he said about playing guitar, “It’s a universe!” The real deal.

What a treat. Paul Simon's most recent release, Seven Psalms, prominently features his acoustic guitar. It is as if he went back to his musical roots and combined them with decades of experience. The songwriting is very sophisticated, and a delight for fan's of Paul's guitar playing.

@brucecampbellx 10 ай бұрын

He's very right about the guitar. I also get uncomfortable or bothered if I go more than a day without picking it up. Although I feel like I need to do legato and alternate picking exercises every day to keep my chops and finger constitution up to par. It is an endless love with no final destination.

Lindsey is another underrated guitar player, that term gets tossed around too often but in some cases it actually fits,he incorporates Banjo and Travis picking which are similar but not the same.
