    I'm 66 years old and I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar, this past christmas eve, I came within 8 hours of passing , and this has put a different perspective on life, I decided that while I am off on disability to go buy a guitar and learn, and 1 of the songs I want to learn to play once I am proficient enough, hopefully soon, is Mrs Robinson, reason, that is my wife's name and when ever that song comes on the radio she turns the volume up, and I think it would be really cool to one day without her knowing , while she is sitting in the living room , to sit down and start playing that song for her.

    Best tutorial of this song... and as Grampa Hat says, just keep praticing that opening riff until you get it. Great to be able to keep checking back too. You have a great singing voice too...

      I wish this included the cool intro. Unfortunately, I found this once and can no longer find it. It’s lost in the the jungle of lessons that show how to play a vastly simplified version of the song

    Excellent lesson Grandpa Hat! You really turned an unreachable legend into a ... possibility for me. I fell in love with Simon & Garfunkel when I was 17 and I am 55 ... and starting the guitar.
    Thank you.
    And I hope you will make more videos in a near future!
    P.S. I am watching from Brussels, Belgium.

    I've tried numerous instructors for this classic and Grandpa Hat has it down perfectly - the essential licks also incorporated into the lesson which is a must for this song - many others do not incorporate these little riffs into their lessons - great job - Kudos

    Fantastic! One of the Best lessons on this song. I do think that after the E and before going to “and here’s to you…” that it is a D7 rather than a D and that sends great to my ear, but both work.

    • @grandpahat7249
      @grandpahat7249  Рік тому +1

      Thanks Steve. You are right. I use both. I mix it up. Sometimes I also play the D and bounce on a D7 just before the G.

      Willie the guitar is a replica of a 1939 Martin 00. My brother made it. I had him use mahogany back and sides and Adirondack top. He put inlays like a higher end Martin had. I love this guitar. Thanks.

    Are you using same rythm pattern thru out the song ? DDDUDU?

    • @grandpahat7249
      @grandpahat7249  Рік тому

      I just keep the pick hand going down up down, but don't always hit the strings and sometimes mute the strings with my palm while struming. Pretty much whatever it needs to sound good while not covering up the vocals too much. On key parts on the guitar or vocals I give it room to be heard. It's hard to explain exactly. I always try to remember the things that I find work in each song. I also hybrid pick. I use a pick but also my middle and ring finger to rake or emphasize notes to fill, or to do rolls on some songs. I always say play it until you find it and remember it. Play it hundreds of times and you will be able to feel it and not fret the details. It just comes out

    • @grandpahat7249
      @grandpahat7249  Рік тому

      I will never be able to play like Paul Simon. I try to bring out key parts, and try to fit how I play to the song without butchering it.

      I will make more videos. I had a heart attack in 2019 and didn’t make more then. Also there was a couple of copyright claims and had to delete a couple. Mrs Robinson has a claim but I am still not at a level to monetize it anyway. It kind of bummed me out for a while. I will get off of my 68 year old butt and make more videos. Thanks for the motivation.
