 | well... I use my thumb to play the "melody" on the A and D string.
(melody: these steps down from C to A minor and on the G chord) and with the other 3 fingers I just play around on the highest 3 strings... and it really sounds like The Boxer :o)
by the way, I don´t use my smallest finger....that stays on the guitar for stability of the hand.
hope that helped ? (you don´t speak german by the way ?) |

 | THAT HELPED A LOT!! Thank you so much! :)
No, sorry I´m from Denmark, and I´ve only had German in school for about two years.
But anyway, thank you! Now I can see what it was I had wrong!
Great! Now I just have to practise a bit. |

| Cool.
I am gladly surprised that this really helped. I have another advice:
Just do the C chord with your left hand (be sure to press BOTH of the lowest two strings on the third bar). Then you can play the "bass-line" with your thumb on the two lowest strings (alternately E and A string). The other three fingers always play the highest three strings. That´s The Boxer-sound... practise that until you can play it relaxed (makes fun if you once figured it out).
It´s simple then to go down to a-minor (right thumb does the "steps" on the A-String). It´s a little bit trickier to handle the G chord afterwards, but you´ll figure it out when you are there. |

| Well, it surely did!
I´ll try to make the right sound out of it. Unfortunatly, I don´t have my guitar here with me, but as soon as I get it I´ll start practise. Thank you again.. |

 | The technique Simon uses is called Travis picking...alternating thumb and fingers.This particular version of The Boxer can be played with just thumb and index or thumb, index and middle.The G chord is played with your third finger(anular or ring finger)leaving you free to play the bass run with the others.We had a great fight in the forum a few centuries ago about this song and guitar tab!!!Sara type your e mail address in here and I will send you the tab with all the finger positions and notes. |
