    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.

    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.

    I have always admired Paul as an acoustic guitarist. I don't think I'd be writing folk songs today if it wasn't for Simon and Garfunkel. Maybe they didn't get along, but they recorded incredible music together.
