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.

Love watching a master discuss his craft.

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.

This was by far the best Stern interview in years.

“The guitar is like a universe” was a beautiful thing to say

Thanks million Mr.Stern...❤

Paul Simon is a global treasure 😀🎸🎶❤️

That's who I learned fingerpicking from. He was a real hero to me. America and The Boxer are still two of my favorite songs ever.

We need this Full interview uploaded please! What a legend. What a talent. Could watch & listen to Paul Simon for hours.

A national treasure. I had the incredible honor of shaking his hands once after a Paul McCartney concert at MSG in 1989.

His hands-plural? Did you shake both of them?

I'm tearing up watching this video, what a legend.

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.

Thank you Paul Simon for your music and Graceland in particular! You saved me in times I felt scared. You are a legend.

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.

What an outstanding interview. I always had Paul as the number one guy I wanted to hear Howard interview, with trepidation that they wouldn't jive. So glad this exists.

I learned fingerpicking in the 80s playing his songs. Still play them today. Timeless masterpieces.

His playing is what got me playing the guitar. I learned fingerpicking also playing his songs. Though, the Travis picking method I actually learned from Dust in the Wind... lol.

Me too, back in the 70s. The Boxer...one of my absolute favorites. Still in my performing lineups, and I've always said, if I ever get a boxer, I'd name him Paul Simon!

It all goes back to Travis picking… such a guitar magician.

That was beautiful. It's great to see his love for playing is still strong.

Most direct, succinct explanation of the Travis pick that I've ever heard. A distillation to the essence of what it is.

Criminally underrated guitar player.

Why am I crying?😭😭😭

When he talks about comfort, that really hit home for me. I feel uncomfortable without my guitar. It's a very special feeling.

Paul Simon is a legend, will always be a legend.

Love the new thing he played at the end, those are beautiful chords.

Everything about this was magic.

Genius musician, singer, songwriter!

Absolutely brilliant love his guitar playing and the songs he wrote where out of this world a legend

That was a nicely done interview, I enjoyed the enthusiasm of both host and Paul, cool 😎👍

Paul Simon is a superb and an extraordinary guitar player and musician...

Such a humble artist! A true musician!

...at 81! tooo good...cheers Paul.

How I understand Paul 'bout the need of playing guitar every day. I am just a 70 years old amateur guitar player and every morning after my breakfast I have to pick the guitar and try to write something even if the words don't come easily. God bless Paul.❤

Paul Simon's unique guitar playing is always music to my ears--like Ray Manzarek's keyboards still are.

I started listening to you and Paul in the 1960s when I was a teen, and I still love and appreciate it very much

I too picked up the guitar at Bar-Mitzvah age. My early teachers always told me that I had a natural knack with fingerstyle. Always loved Paul's playing.

while i listened to the entire interview i wasn't as captivated as i am watching it .. nice job

Paul Simon 72’ album is a total masterpiece. Some of his best deep cuts

He’s endlessly interesting in interviews. What a treat he lets us inside.

A genius song writer and musician. Respect!

One of the Greatest Singer Songwriters EVER !

Very interesting! Paul Simon has just broadened my horizons! Thanks Mr. Simon!

“I’m just fooling around”. Love it!

Wow Paul. decades on, you just reminded me why I picked up my first guitar. ty

An American treasure

Amazing talent. Love the demonstration and the artist.💐

Es un gran maestro, gracias a Paul Simon tenemos grandes canciones.

I think of all the greats he is the most centred and articulate. He is so close to his art. What an inspiration.

Simon is an inspiration!! Writing great songs for almost 70 years!!! I sing “ St Judy’s Comet “ to my grandkids when they stay overnight! When I would hear he had a new album, I didn’t have to hear it. I knew there would be great music on it! God bless him!!

Magical musical genius, so lucky to have him❤

Paul is one of the tastiest guitarist ever...'The Rhythm of the Saints' his masterpiece!

Paul Simon is up there with Lennon /Mcartney musical genius great interview thanks loved Mystery Train intro 💜💙💚

If you're interested in this then the Paul Simon Barnes and Noble interview on KZread is worth checking out. So much information.

Man I could watch Paul Simon all day!!

Paul Simon stood on the shoulders of roots music giants and became the giant on whose shoulders so many modern musicians can stand.

Thanks Paul. Been following you since Graceland when I was 12

Legendary artist. Much love!

Paul Simon is unrivaled

Always loved Paul's music, and guitar playing, and appreciate his skills. But he did learn A LOT when he came to England, and hung around with the English Folk artists of that time, Bert Jansch etc, and he took a lot from their styles and added it to his own.

genius on guitar

Great musical sense & inspiration, thanks brother, God Bless !!!

Gifted for sure

So nice to hear Paul Simon hitting dull notes and buzzy notes too!

Paul Simon is an excellent guitar player..very impressed 🎶🙂🕊️

Paul Simon has written some of the most amazing songs in the last 100 years.

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.

Howard’s youtube posts have the best commercials

A hero to me beginning to play guitar 60 yrs ago

And that is why I love Paul Simon 🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Paul's guitar is very beautiful and fun to play.

I was introduced to Travis picking from Lindsay Buckingham, both in Fleetwood Mac and solo. I had been listening to the style in Simon's work and not really realizing it for year before though!

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.

It is great to know that PS is still motivated and inspired by the guitar.

Wowww! Great Paul Simon!😍😍🌻🌻

One of my guitar heroes!

Thanks Paul for sharing your fingerpicking skills...

Thank you Howard Stern, simply the best person to bring the humanity of the artist to our eyes and ears!

listen to the intro to Homeward Bound....beautiful...

Cheers from “down under”. Please come to visit us Paul here in sunny Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 … soon 🙏🙏

Wonderful stuff ❤❤❤❤
