Paul Simon is under appreciated as a guitarist. Come up on this mountain and fight me...

So flawless

I get that he might be from an earlier generation, but damn...

How can anyone ignore this performance? He is a monster that's overlooked because it's "Folk" music

He comes up with this amazing rock riff and just tucks it away in this slightly uptempo folk song.

Lots of good stuff in their catalog. Most of their biggest hits had more than one guitar (like The Boxer, with Fred Carter).
Sometimes it's hard to decide who is playing which part, but the Boxer is a bad example because the guitars are so different you can tell which part is which, even when they're intertwining.
Yes, Paul could play!
