    In this Sounds Of Silence guitar lesson video, I will demonstrate how to play the original acoustic version of this masterpiece off of Simon & Garfunkel's debut studio album, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. The more popular recording of this song contains a bunch of electric guitar riffs overdubbed onto the original recording without Simon & Garfunkels' knowledge. I think the original version is the best and as a bonus can be played with just one acoustic guitar.
    The tuning is standard tuning with a capo at the 6th fret.
    The beginning of "The Sounds Of Silence" is fingerpicked and contains some beautiful guitar lines that complement the haunting vocals in a great way.
    I will take you through this entire fingerstyle section note-for-note.
    After that, Paul Simon switches to a more upbeat strummed guitar style. The rhythm is pretty simple, but he uses a lot of chord variations to keep things interesting. The variations are pretty consistent during the repeats though, so once you get through the strummed chords once, you will pretty much know the rest of the song.
    I hope you enjoy learning this acoustic masterpiece from Simon & Garfunkel. #thesoundofsilenceguitarlesson #simonandgarfunkel #guitarcovers

    I kind of really hate that this song turned into a meme, now everyone just laughs at "hello darkness my old friend" instead of listening and seeing how beautiful this song is.

      Actually... It's just your snobism.
      You know, saying that "I hate that X/Y song became a meme and everyone is just laughing at Hello Darkness my old F(chord)riend" is same shit with saying "I heard someone saying that X/Y Song is that song from that Y/Z commercial".
      This song becomes more known and who is interested in music will actually listen to its message.

    what's interesting to me it seems like this strip down original version of The Sounds of Silence with all the all the string arrangements and everything inside the orchestration it has like the beginning winnings or what he would go back to again and use for Scarborough Fair at least to my ears that has that almost same exact kind of thing

      If you have a rubber band or hairband and a pencil or pen, you can put the pencil/pen over the fret you want to capo and then hook the band around both sides behind the neck to fasten it. It should work as a makeshift capo.
