This arrangement is truly outstanding. There are any number of musician's that are very good in a technical way. But this was magical, with the various self-accompaniments and subtleties of the various notes. The delicate movement of the fingers across the frets of the instrument, as a Van Gogh or Picaso paints a masterpiece this arrangement was such a creation.
I've said many times, the 70's was the greatest decade for music. Simon, Croce, Taylor, I could list names for days and they're all deserving of mention.
Who could possibly hit the dislike button for such a beautifully played piece of music that clearly comes from this lady’s soul. Ignore the haters, this was amazing! ❤️
Whilst I do agree that it is an amazingly beautiful cover version, I believe that the RUclips algorithm at the moment rewards activity on channels. So likes, dislikes, comments and subs all go to help the creators. So the joke is on those people who don’t share the same taste in music that we obviously do.
Sheer elegance and beauty . This is my first time seeing/hearing Stephanie and certainly won’t be the last . Her tone , her technique , her movements are all delightful . She takes this wonderful , timeless classic song and makes it even better by her lovely virtuosity . Thank you, Stephanie for this precious gift . George Lewis, Sr.
Brought me to tears... took me back to my growing up in the 60’s. A time of civil unrest and hope for the future..Simon and Garfunkel left us with a unforgettable time stamp in the soundtrack of our lives ☮️
If there is one thing I could wish for and be granted would be able to play any instrument with a passion and beauty shown here. I have tried and failed. Even singing is not within me. But to hear others that have such an ability is a pleasure I enjoy. Those that can, do. Those that can't, well we sit back and enjoy.
Let the frustration be the water that feeds your roots. Make it a daily habit. Watch what happens after one year. You will look back and laugh. And then maybe play a song about it.
My dad said to me once: there are two kinds of people in this world, the ones who make music and the ones who listen to it. And...they can't live without each other!
Also, remember: Music is communication, not competition. I was at a blues festival once, great artists from all over the world played very sophisticated and technically challenging music, it was great! Then, on the last night, this wizened old guy came on, he could barely play three chords and probably didn't even know what those chords were called. He sang out of tune. And he brought the house down! Blew the roof off the place! Why? Because he didn't play the blues, he WAS the blues!
We dont need a million sing and song writers who think they can play the guitar while in fact they Just can play 10 chords. We only need a few people Like you to Make us smile. Only a few to Make us cry and relaxed. Thanks for sharing your amazing skills.
Well, you have to start somewhere. At sometime in her early career, I bet she only knew 10 chords. I know what you mean though.😁 Mastery of the guitar...that's a whole different animal, and she's got that down. I'm very envious...and admire her playing very much. Not just the technical aspects of her playing, but the emotion that so sweetly comes out of her guitar that she put into it.
I truly admire you for learning to play a guitar so well. It's a testimony to your determination and persistence. I'm mediocre, and there is no joy in mediocrity, as my old voice teacher used to say. Your performance is beautiful.
STANDING OVATION. Your playing has reacquainted me to the sweet, stunning, expanse of Awe, and provided my fingers inspiration to regain my physical skills of playing acoustic guitar, lost after my body's cerebellar stroke. Thank You Ms. Jones, Thank You.
Sweet Stephanie, what an amazing gift from God. Your beautiful rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's masterpiece touches the core of our souls. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with the world.
Oh my, this is an amazingly beautiful version of this song ... Like something beautiful from another era ... What a beautiful tribute to Simon and Garfunkel
Absolutely unbelievable!! The raw talent and pure joy that she exudes is off the charts for me. Thanks very, very much for sharing this video. Magnificent!
As one who can see the exit sign blinking, everyone I've loved and known have gone on. But for a brief moment you've brought back thier memories, and for that I thank you. Semper fi
This is one of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard and the most beautiful of God's creation playing an instrument....i cannot express myself enough.
Tellement d'émotions et de nuances tirées vers ''le haut''. Cette délicatesse manque à ce monde qui nous traverse plus que nous le traversons. Pourquoi de telles qualités d'âme ne s'imposent elles pas dans toutes les sphères de la vie ? Quel est le secret d'un tel don de soi ? Je vous remercie infiniment pour votre partage si riche et généreux.
Wow! This made me shed a tear or two. It’s so hard to describe how amazing this is. The duality of guitar and vocal melody. Working simultaneously. A completely new concept of the song. And the performance. WOW!!!! That guitar playing is as natural as a person breathing.
The absolte best rendition of this wandefull classic song, I have seen your video 10000 time and I love it more every time.....vravo stephanie vravo......jose from texas.
This is quite beautiful and played with emotion by this lady, you should not waste words on dislikes here. Simon & Garfunkel, God, what a privilege it is to live in the era of these two gentlemen !!
The most emotional rendition of music I have listened to. Loved every note and every sound. So much feeling shared in this beautiful song by a beautiful person.
An unbelievable, incredibly beautiful treatment of an iconic song exploring the heights and depths of emotion far beyond the constraints of lyrics. Thank you!!
THIS is exquisitely beautiful. I was NOT expecting classical guitar. I'm a huge Simon and Garfunkel fan....WHAT a beautiful presentation!!! SUBSCRIBED...
なんと旋律の語りが美しいでしょう。この曲、こんなにまでパフオームする演奏者がおられるでしょうか。コーヒールンバのあなたの演奏もそうですが、この名曲の演奏も聴く私たちのこころの奥深くまで揺れ動かしてくださり、過去と今、歴史と今、そして未来までも一つにしてしまうほどのなんとも言えない美しい旋律に、いやご演奏に酔ってしまいます。ギターをこよなく愛するあなたの心、魂、歌が伝わってきます。 素敵な演奏、アリガトウ😉👍🎶 John Poppy 🍨💒🥀
You have captured the essence of the original and enhanced the emotional impact with repetition, sustain and emphasis of key phrase elements. Mysterious, melancholic and memorable. Paul Simon would be proud of your performance. 🤗🤗🤗♥️🌹
No one born of a woman in this life or the next, in heaven, on earth or beneath will play the Sound of Silence fingerstyle to precise soulful spiritually engrossing perfection as powerfully played in this piece. Not even art and Garfunkel plays it this perfect. This piece should be preserved for generations yet unborn. To William and Samuel. Forever remembered 😢
Goosebumps moment! Excellent feel to sound suited for the atmosphere/mood of the song, stylish flaggiolets as bonus. Really great interpretation and so delicately played. Simply lovely!
The kind of talent that ties the skill of your fingers directly to your heart is a gift from God. I practice and I play, but play is a good word for what I do compared to this. Thank you , performance was pure joy.
The most stunning, almost haunting rendition of this all-time favorite song of mine that I've ever heard! If I was either Simon or Garfunkel, I'd want to meet you and thank you for giving such beautiful life to this song...
This version is beautiful I can't take anything away from the talent of this beautiful young woman but have a listen to disturbed rendition of this song, some regard it as the best cover of any song ever, I'd have to agree to some point too
Sometimes people hit the wrong thumbs-up or thumbs-down by accident. sometimes people have a bad sounding phone, and sometimes people might have a bad emotional experience that this song brings back to them.
Young Lady that's the most beautiful version of this song that I have ever heard,,, I must learn to play it exactly as you have done here,, yes it will require some work on my part, but it will be well worth the effort and I pray that it would honor you in doing so.. Thank you so much
Beautiful cover by a real talented Classical Guitarist! What’s up with the thumbs down? Will never understand how this happens 🤔 Just Amazing performance 👏👏👏
Trolls. There's always a percentage of them. I think RUclips is killing a lot of them though. I mean, killing their ACCOUNTS, not the actual trolls. I don't think they are anyway...
This arrangement is truly outstanding. There are any number of musician's that are very good in a technical way. But this was magical, with the various self-accompaniments and subtleties of the various notes. The delicate movement of the fingers across the frets of the instrument, as a Van Gogh or Picaso paints a masterpiece this arrangement was such a creation.
Agreed, Lawson and Trueman’s arrangements are exceptional, and Steph really does this arrangement justice.
There’s a connection between her brain and her guitar that is seldom seen in meer mortals…superpowers on display here….awe-struck
Whenever I find myself disgusted by the world today I can still find comfort in the arts and believe music to be art in its purest form.
I've said many times, the 70's was the greatest decade for music. Simon, Croce, Taylor, I could list names for days and they're all deserving of mention.
This song was composed in 64 not the 70’s later used in 68 for the movie the graduate
As someone of Simon & Garfunkel's generation lm so glad to see a young generation enjoyng their beautiful music.
The music doesn't just flow through your fingers, it's really in your heart. Wonderful.
That. Is. Sound my like❤ thank you. Playing I see❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Who could possibly hit the dislike button for such a beautifully played piece of music that clearly comes from this lady’s soul. Ignore the haters, this was amazing! ❤️

Jealous people that have no such talents.
My guess are those who can’t hear a musician. This is a beautiful arrangement her classical pose is beautiful
i disliked cause shes a woman

So true, forever shaped by the 60’s.
What a wonderful version of this fantastic song! Thank you very much, Stephanie, for sharing this with the world!
Yes doing ❤

Keep trying?
Let the frustration be the water that feeds your roots. Make it a daily habit. Watch what happens after one year. You will look back and laugh. And then maybe play a song about it.
Don't doubt yourself. With dedicated effort and proper choices to work within your limits, you can express yourself artistically and create beauty.

Wow this blew my mind.
The Sound of Silence has so much to say when Stephanie plays. This truly is perfection.
This is why Stephanie is my most favorite guitarist. She seems to feel every sound in her soul.
She is amazing in every way. Thanks for your talent and dedication, Stephanie.
Stephanie, you are a peaceful breath of fresh air during these turbulent times.
Thank you.
Love from the States. ♥️🇺🇸
I truly admire you for learning to play a guitar so well. It's a testimony to your determination and persistence. I'm mediocre, and there is no joy in mediocrity, as my old voice teacher used to say. Your performance is beautiful.
Incredible arrangement and still one I come back too. Beautiful.
I have listened to lots of music on RUclips and this was the most heartfelt piece I've heard yet. This I will remember.
Bravo, and performed with heart felt emotion, thankyou.
It was acustic though...anybody could do acustic
Phenomenal. The kind of music that makes you feel privileged to have heard by an artist I feel privileged to have watched perform it.
i agree
Felt every note she played there and the beauty of that was you could tell she did as well.
Enchanting. Thank you Stephanie x
Would be hard to top this as an instrumental treatment of this song - I would say next to impossible. Love the richness of the audio recording, too.
I really like this version ruclips.net/video/zBVf4F-SVYM/видео.html
Who could possibly give a thumbs down to this exceptional talent. Great musician playing with out sheet music. Excellent.
Metal Heads and Stone Hearts.
There has surely been thousands of hours of practicing here!
STANDING OVATION. Your playing has reacquainted me to the sweet, stunning, expanse of Awe, and provided my fingers inspiration to regain my physical skills of playing acoustic guitar, lost after my body's cerebellar stroke. Thank You Ms. Jones, Thank You.
Lovely interpretation. No showing off for showing off's sake, every note in harmony with Simon's vision.
pattilapeche. Exactly. Class act.
To be one with the music as this person has become is a very special gift. Thank you for sharing this.
Her visual expressions translate into 1,000 times more meaning than mere words could ever convey.
OMG, this is the most beautiful performance of this song I've ever seen, heard or thought possible. And yes she is beautiful too. Two thumbs girl
Sweet Stephanie, what an amazing gift from God. Your beautiful rendition of Simon & Garfunkel's masterpiece touches the core of our souls. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with the world.
Been listening to this instrumental number again and again. Simply the best version of the song the way its played. Beautifully done.
There are so many talented people in the world, Stephanie Jones certainly one of them.
Check out also Tina S. and her idol Ana Vidovic. Well worth it.
Simon and Garfunkel would be proud! This is simply AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL!
Beautifully played. That classic song never sounded better!
Oh my, this is an amazingly beautiful version of this song ... Like something beautiful from another era ... What a beautiful tribute to Simon and Garfunkel
Absolutely unbelievable!! The raw talent and pure joy that she exudes is off the charts for me. Thanks very, very much for sharing this video. Magnificent!

The best acoustic version I have ever heard
strongly agree
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think its not acoustic because its a classic guitar.
Papa reti Aotearoa 40
Absolutely not. I prefer Stephanie’s version. However, there’s room for them both. It isn’t a competition.
I have no words to describe the enjoyment that your interpretation of his song gives me!!! You are extraordinary!!!
Passion for the guitar has flamed to life again. Thanks.
That was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us!
Bravo Stephanie! Technically and expressively beautiful, thanks!
I think it's best performance "The Sound of Silence”.
Thank you Stephanie Jones

so soothing , i could feel it in my bones ! healing me up ! Thank God there are musicians out there that still have that "Midas touch"
ruclips.net/video/fJ8O1Xlohgg/видео.html
Best version of this song I've ever heard and no one breathed a word.
Astounding ! . . many passages sound like a piano, beautiful arrangement !
Young lady, you have moved me to tears....
You have captured the essence of the original and enhanced the emotional impact with repetition, sustain and emphasis of
key phrase elements. Mysterious, melancholic and memorable. Paul Simon would be proud of your performance. 🤗🤗🤗♥️🌹
Lovely arrangement. The short necked classical guitar almost makes it sound medieval. Thanks!
I didn't want the song to end. So I will just replay it a few times. Wonderful, thanks!
Same here. Saw this comment on my second hearing. :')
Just beautiful. I'v loved Simon & Garfunkel music since I was a kid, and this piece is just amazing Stephanie.
No one born of a woman in this life or the next, in heaven, on earth or beneath will play the Sound of Silence fingerstyle to precise soulful spiritually engrossing perfection as powerfully played in this piece. Not even art and Garfunkel plays it this perfect. This piece should be preserved for generations yet unborn. To William and Samuel. Forever remembered 😢
Im glad human beings can do things like this.
Yes, es si ir!🦋
@BLUE DOG oh, +,+,+,+= genius people. !🦋
Kelly Garrou. For sure!!
Only some
Best finger style version of this song so far. I love seeing the young adopt music from this era.
As a fellow guitarist I must say this obviously is played from the soul, beautiful!
Always so tastefully rendered. Just a treat for the ears.
One of the more beautiful guitar pieces ever. You do it justice, as always!
I bought this as a classical guitarist and have to say there's more than a few days work in this. Stephanie plays it extremely well.
Ganz großes Gefühl. Toll interpretiert. Das geht unter die Haut. Ich hoffe, wir hören noch viel von ihr. Würde ich gerne mal live erleben...
VERY beautifully played!!! Bravo! I love your expressions as you play, you are into the music!
Absolutely astonishing! Bravo and best wishes for the new year.
She brought S&G to a whole new level! So beautiful....
Goosebumps moment! Excellent feel to sound suited for the atmosphere/mood of the song, stylish flaggiolets as bonus. Really great interpretation and so delicately played. Simply lovely!

Your comment was very nice. You have a gift for words.

The way you used those harmonics was amazing. Absolutely beautiful
曲には物語があるということ、生まれてくる理由があること、それをほんとうに演奏者であるあなたはいつも良くギター演奏で表現しておられます、他のどのご演奏でも。素敵です！！Bravo！！

She is professor of guitar. One of the best versions of the song. More grease to your elbow and more wisdom always.
Música maravilhosa. Solo impecável !
Very nice you took that beautiful song to another level. Beautiful
Who in there right mind gave this a thumbs down? The answer is NOBODY in there right mind!
Sometimes people hit the wrong thumbs-up or thumbs-down by accident. sometimes people have a bad sounding phone, and sometimes people might have a bad emotional experience that this song brings back to them.
Her hands and dexterity are amazing!
At my 65 this chords stil make me shiver.
Thank you for sharing with all of us.
The most beautiful performance I ever listened of The Sound Of Silence
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️
You have got "it". That quality that sets you apart from the many.
Young Lady that's the most beautiful version of this song that I have ever heard,,, I must learn to play it exactly as you have done here,, yes it will require some work on my part, but it will be well worth the effort and I pray that it would honor you in doing so.. Thank you so much
That was an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your incredible artistry with us. Exquisite playing! Brava!!!
Stephanie, it made me feel like the music was within me. Your work is beautiful. Thanks.
This. Is. Just. BEAUTIFUL!
Lovely beyond lovely.
Beautiful beyond words.
Beautiful cover by a real talented Classical Guitarist! What’s up with the thumbs down? Will never understand how this happens 🤔
Just Amazing performance 👏👏👏
Simple jealousy.
Their ears get clogged by wax
jerkwads. wiseasses. ignore em. these are like people who paint graffiti on tenement halls.
They're her haters
Trolls. There's always a percentage of them. I think RUclips is killing a lot of them though. I mean, killing their ACCOUNTS, not the actual trolls. I don't think they are anyway...
Adorei sua versão. A sua leveza no toque das cordas passa uma sensação se paz, além da música. Parabéns!
Great playing, well done! Movement and tone control, outstanding!
That was a beautiful performance. Thank you!
Dear Stephanie, their music is even more magical after you have touched it with your talent and devotion.
Beautiful in every conceivable aspect. You are a master!
Très très belle interprétation. Je ne m'en lasse pas de voir et d'écouter. Bravissimo :)
