- The Sound of Silence Guitar Lesson by Simon and Garfunkel ✅ Support the channel. Check out Lauren’s Guitar Course - laurenbatemang... - Welcome to my The Sound of Silence guitar tutorial. In this guitar lesson, I will be going over a simplified way to fingerpick The Sound of Silence. When this song is played live there are definitely lots of different variations in the fingerstyle and playing. So I come up with a consistent fingerpicking pattern that you can use over The Sound of Silence to make it sound good enough to play at parties.
I will show you the real intro to the Sound of Silence and then I will demonstrate the fingerstyle we will be using for this guitar lesson. After that, I will demonstrate the strumming pattern I observed Simon and Garfunkel using when they perform the song live which is a very simple eighth note strumming pattern.

I promoted your first video I seen, then heard this one, and just had to subscribe. I've been playing professionally for 51 years, but your style of teaching is very impressive, and I feel I may actually learn something from you.
@@HalfAssHomesteadppp😅😅5 0f c
say could you please turn up the volume on the guitar thank q
Lauren, I know you have so many followers. We have communicated several times. I am the Chicago Public School graduate who is a 100% disabled veteran teaching guitar to other disabled vets. This is another example why I promote your site. Yesterday I gave a student your site to assist her to learn Let it Be. She was very excited and thought you were amazing as well. She said she will follow you
Dennis wow! Thank you so much for spreading the word. I absolutely love helping our vets. You know they hold a special place near and dear to my heart.
Exactly. She is the very best imo. I had tried learning to play as a child and teenager because my whole family plays instruments and for the life of me, I either couldn't learn or deep down really didn't want to. But about 6 months ago I bought me 2 new fender acoustics to try and deal with stress and depression and was determined to figure it out. Almost gave up until one day I stumbled upon Laurens videos and by golly I figured it out and just in six months I learned over 15 different chords and I can play 5 full songs or so. I'm still amazed tbh. So thank you Lauren. You really are the best. Always looking forward to your videos. Plz keep up the amazing work
I’m fifteen & beginner.. so this help me to improve my acoustic journey, next week my third cover on counting star…
Yes! Awesome.
Thank You. You are great. I'm a 67 year old that just started playing a couple of months ago. Your videos give me confidence to persevere. Thank you! Love this lesson.
Happy to help!
Thank you for continuing to bring us the magic of making the music we love with clear, easy to follow instructions. What a gift!
You're so welcome!
My best teacher so nice .I try learning it .thanks God bless
You are very welcome
Great lesson thank you
My pleasure!
I found this channel about a week ago. An hour ago, I was playing my guitar and happen to play the intro of The Sound of Silence, and wanted to see if there were any good video tutorials. Lo and behold!
How fortuitous!!!
@@LaurenBateman I will give it a go in a few hours. Thank you!
My favorite song, thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for the lesson! Your travis picking instruction has me hooked on finger picking songs now, I've rediscovered my dusty old guitar. More Simon and Garfunkel please!
Isn't Travis picking great!?
Lauren, you are an angel. I play since 6 years, learning on my own using books from the music academy Belgium. I can play some fingerpicking and know some songs by heart. But once I knew a 20 songs, I stopped learning. Untill I stumbled on your lessonswebsite. And from that moment, I am motivated again to improve my playing, just because the way you give your lessons. You give these lessons with a lot of love and enthousiasme and this motivates the watcher to improve him/hereself. It is a lot of fun following your courses. Many thanks for all your efforts, you make a lot of people very happy.....!!!
Francis, so happy to help!

I never say no to Paul SImon songs my friend. Thank you SO much for doing this. One that I would love to learn is Father and Daughter but that's on a difficult level but hear it anyway.
Enjoy!
Much appreciated, I've been wanting to learn this song for years..
Mark, glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful.
This was my parents’ favorite song when I was practicing in the basement 60 years ago! Lauren, thanks for the memories ( I think?).
You're welcome!!!!
Great job, easy to follow and you make it seem very do-able. Again, I appreciate the concise "bite size" nature of the lessons.
Thanks
Mike Brooks
You're so welcome!
Well I can really follow your teaching Thank you so,so much you are all mazing. I am going to go to your website and see if you have any other resources. I really feel like I could finally move on!! I’ve been stuck in the same old spot far too long now, that spot between knowing chords and trying to make it sound like something. I’m seventy years old so I don’t want to spend what time I have just treading in the same spot. Thanks Lauren you have a great way of teaching!!!!
You are very welcome
One of the best songs ever recorded Lauren
Thank you! 😃

Fantastic,
Any tips on controlling the Tempo of songs as I tend to run ahead of myself...
Tony..
Metronome practice
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Great lesson on a classic song by S & G. How about a guitar lesson on Sade's "Smooth Operator"?
Thank you, for the recommendation. I get lots of song requests so I cannot guarantee that I will get to it, but I will definitely add it to my list.
Outstanding Tutorial!!! Ready to start learning Sounds of Silence.👍🎸
Yes!!!
I've subscribed.. i enjoy your way of teaching the song and enjoy the lessons more when you sing the lyrics.. thanks so much
Thank you so much for subscribing. Glad you enjoyed the lesson.
Thank you so much lauren I’m from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
You're welcome!
Brilliant Lauren as ever 👌
Thank you for watching!
I find swinging in the b chord is like in the song one step up. Anyway it’s a fun song and really enjoyed your lesson. One of your best.
It is a little step up. But we'll worth it.
Not only is she a great teacher but she never ages....How does she do that? Does playing guitar keep you young? Well it just might be true...
It does!
Fantastic Video -- Thanks Misses Batemen --------------- ( Germen Fantastisches Video Danke Frau Betemen
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching.
I find your tutorials the best, the easiest to follow , you do a great job.
David, that you so much. Glad to help.
Thumbs up!!youre a great teacher!!!im your fan from here in the philippines!late beginner but very willing to learn in guitar😍
Thank you so much Lorna, and hello Phillipines!
Another brilliant lesson LB :) heard Paul Simon do this a few years ago as his encore n the place went wild :) great lesson for beginners n intermediate players !
Thank you. Must have been awesome live.
I truly enjoy your teaching methods. You make any song easy Thamk you ! Do you teach voice ?
Hi Penny, I did at one time. Yes.
Hi madam iam from kuwait and watching ur videos daily its very helpful god bless you
Hello!
Talent
Excellent lesson as always, I have been singing this song for years, but now I will add that lovely little intro riff with the fingers. You da best.
Glad you enjoyed it Gerard
Thanks for this great song. The way you explain it makes it easy for me to play along.
Albert that's fantastic! That's why I do it.
This song will challenge my skills, but I will get there thanks to the way you break down and communicate the lesson. I am also taking the 7 level guitar course on your website and I highly recommend it to others.
Heather, thank you so much. So happy to have you in the course and remember it's your guitar journey so take your time and just enjoy every step of the process.
Thank a lot .❤️❤️💙💚💚🧡
You are very welcome :D
Hi this is a great channel you have here. You are a good teacher
Glad you think so!
Thank you very much for this lesson Lauren ! You have given me all the important musical information that I need for me to be able to learn this song ! Cheers ! :) will take to my music teacher to learn . For more variation , after the walk down from c major to c/b to a minor finger picking pattern I might just go back up to the c major finger picking pattern , then finish off with the G major finger picking pattern and the final A minor finger picking pattern and then a slow rake of the a minor chord to finish off with to try to make it sound a little bit more like the original record ! :)
Sounds like a good plan.
Wow another awesome play and great lesson for me since it’s one of my favorite songs Ma’am Lauren! Thankyou so much, love it 😊 More power and good health ❤️
Thank you so much 😃
Nice use of stress when you sang some of the words, it makes it unique to you. I think that is what makes any form of art unique to us all, we put our own style into it.
Well said!
Magnificent, thank you!
You are welcome!
You just have such a delightful vibration about you! It's amazing!
Awww thank you kindly.
Thank you
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much you are a great teacher.I'd appreciate a lesson on Jackson Brownes "Our lady of the well" Thanks x
Thanks for the recommendation
Thanks for the wonderful lesson Lauren. I liked how thorough you are with the song and also how you kept the lesson moving. I'm subscribing!
Welcome to the channel! Check out my Down on the Corner lesson that I released today. Fun song.
Thank you, Lauren, for taking the time to put together all these lessons. I'm in my 70's and just learning guitar. I've learned so much from you, I've always loved Sound of Silence. If you get the time one day, is it possible that you could teach how to play Stairway to Heaven>? It may be a little more advanced than I am at present but would truly love to learn to play that song from the 70's. I am following your lessons daily, you're never too old to learn to play music. Again, thank you very much for the fine lessons.....
Stairway is no joke. Would take multiple lessons because so many parts. Would love to tackle some of it
Thank you 🙏 I'm gonna follow you so I can play this here guitar.
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow, you're awesome!!
Thanks so much! :D
You are the best. Great lesson.
Thank you! 😃
Great song and lesson...you are awesome
Thank you, William
As usual you make playing a little easier for us. Thank you Lauren. I like the picking version.
Happy to hear that!
I just started watching a few of your videos the last couple of days. You are by far the best guitar teacher I have seen online. You explain things in a way I get! I love the fingerpicking version of Sound of Silence and I am working on it. I hate the F chord, but I'm going to learn it, even if it kills me! :) I'm hoping my wife will let me sign up for your course for Christmas.
The F chord is a bugger for sure. But practice practice practice! I hope your wife let's you get the Christmas course as well. Uploading some new lessons to it this week!
Thanks for your Lesson..
Glad it helped
Brilliant lesson
Thanks!
you are a very good teacher
Aww thanks so much
You're So Darn Aasaasome!!! THKU LB
Ha ha thanks!
Hi, My friend, I have a question because you are an expert on guitars. I have a Yamaha model F310P acoustic guitar. What brand of string I will use for this guitar? To make it good sounding and performance. Thanks.
I prefer D'Addario Phosphour Bronze Light gauge strings.
@@LaurenBateman My Friend, how about the Yamaha C70 classical guitar, what brand of string will you recommend?
Thank-you Lauren. Awesome lesson! Such a classic song, timeless, and oh so relevant piece of music. Not sure how I missed this lesson earlier, but glad I found it. Going to practice. Thank-you again.👏👏
Glad you found it too!
Thank you beautiful teacher🎉🎉🎉
You're welcome 😊
Thanks. Getting there. Could you do wild rover? You have the voice.
Ooooo
Hi. New to your Channel. Just wanna say thanks. One of the great teacher here in RUclips I’ve seen. You make it easy to learn. I love this song. Been trying to learn it, but have a hard time connecting with tutor. I can finally play this to family. Thank you.
If you haven’t yet. The leader of the band by Dan Fogelberd , fingerstyle would be great.
Thank you, Julius for the recommendation. I get lots of song requests so I cannot guarantee that I will get to it, but I will definitely add it to my list.
WOW!!!
💪
How about "Me and Julio Down At The School Yard" that's a up beat like "Down On The Corner". You are awesome!
Oh yeah that's a great one!
Great videos Lauren, keep up the good work! Even I am (slowly) starting to get the hang of it thanks to your amazing channel! 10/10!
You can do it!
Hi, so glad I have found your channel. You make it oh so simple and easy 😊
Great song. Simon and Garfunkel were big before my time. I like the disturbed version. One of the few covers that I prefer over the original. I was learning acoustic songs on an electric but finally bought an acoustic yesterday. It's a cheap one. I unboxed it tuned it and it sounded like 💩. Using the first or second fret just sounded like a snare drum. Luckily a friend at work is really good with guitars. He helped adjust the truss rod and now it sounds great. I'm sure it will need a tweak here and there but it's atleast playable now.
You got this!
New subscriber here from Philippines nice
Thanks for the sub!
She can sing to. Lauren Rocks 👍🎙🙃
Yes, thank you 😊
Thank you, Im trying to use Travis picking... I'm not good in strumming using a pick.. I'm more comfortable using my fingers.. I always did it wrong with the pick.. Though I'm trying my best to practice using pick too..more power to your channel..
Flora I like using my finger too. Good to know how to do it both ways!
This was a GREAT lesson for us noobs!! TY so much!! 🤗
You're welcome
awsome!!! btw I love the Ninja Turtlesssss!!!
Me too!!!
Confident teaching and fun learning. Thanks for sharing :-)
My pleasure!
Lauren some time if you have the time get crying by Roy Orbison the strum pattern I love his music
Thank you, Willam for the recommendation. I get lots of song requests so I cannot guarantee that I will get to it, but I will definitely add it to my list.
