In today's fingerstyle guitar lesson, we learn how to play "The Boxer" by Simon & Garfunkel. We focus on the guitar part which Paul Simon's plays in his live versions, specifically his recent ones. This part features travis picking over a handful of chords. After the picking pattern, I break down the music theory before diving into the progression and song form.
