- Pick a song by my selected artist.

Post it in here.
Limit one entry per person.
Drumroll...
Paul Simon
It can be anything he's ever written or performed, so that includes anything done with Garfunkel or solo (and even The Capeman, for those of you who are hardcore enough).
Record the song and post it here (make sure I can tell what song it is).
I'll be judging these based on a few factors:
1.) Playing ability: Is your playing concise? Is the fingerpicking good?
2.) Vocals: Is your diction good? Do you bring emotion to the lyrics when called for?
3.) Personalization: Do you bring something of your own to the song, or does it stick strictly to any album or live versions?
Personalization is most important for me, as I've always championed bringing something of your own to songs you play.
I'm not looking for studio-quality recordings, but just something where everything can be heard. Remember, it's not so much about the sound quality as it is about the feeling of your recording.
Good luck, and I'll post the prizes soon!
